Jared Butler Rumors

Jared Butler‘s new one-year, minimum-salary contract with the Suns is a non-guaranteed Exhibit 9 deal, but doesn’t include Exhibit 10 language, Hoops Rumors has learned. That suggests Butler likely won’t be playing for Phoenix’s G League team if he doesn’t earn a spot on the regular season roster.

Keith Pompey: Jared Butler is a player the 76ers have liked since the 2021 NBA draft, where he was selected 40th overall by the New Orleans Pelicans and traded to the Utah Jazz a week later. The point guard averaged 6.9 points and 2.6 assists in 11.3 minutes over 32 games off the bench this season for the Washington Wizards. The Sixers have been impressed with his high basketball IQ. The 6-foot-3, 195-pounder is a good passer and a solid shooter with a competitive spirit. The sense is Butler can make the game easier for teammates. In four combined seasons with the Jazz, Oklahoma City Thunder and Wizards, Butler has career averages of 5.6 points and 2.3 assists in 11.4 minutes over 120 games with two starts.

The Wizards unsuccessfully tried to trade Patrick Baldwin Jr. or Johnny Davis in recent days to create the needed roster room to retain Jared Butler. As first reported by frequent contributor Keith Smith, Washington proved unwilling, however, to attach draft capital to such a trade and was thus forced to waive Butler on Saturday when no trade option materialized.
