Relationships are crucial in the NBA whether it's with teammates, coaches, or the front office. In the case of Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler, two of the aforemen

One of the biggest stories around the NBA of late has been what the Miami Heat will do with star Jimmy Butler. Butler has requested a trade out of Miami and has been suspended for the past few games.

The 35-year-old is eligible to return to the court for Miami's contest against the Denver Nuggets on Jan. 17, at which point the Heat would expect "Butler to rejoin the team and play in games" so long as he's still on the roster, per Chiang.

The Miami Heat are reportedly exploring trade options for Jimmy Butler as the February 6 trade deadline approaches, but finding a suitable deal has proven difficult, according to Steve Bulpett of Heavy.

The Golden State Warriors appear to have made a major Jimmy Butler trade decision as he looks to leave the Miami Heat.

Sources inform Shams Charania and Brian Windhorst of ESPN that the 6-foot-7 swingman out of Marquette hasn't budged on his behind-the-scenes request to be traded away from the Heat this year, after failing to come to terms on an extension agreement during the 2024 offseason.

Following Jimmy Butler’s postgame comments where he indicated he would like to be traded from the team, the Miami Heat have suspended the star forward for seven games, adding that the team will consider trade offers for 14-year veteran.

The massive rift between Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat continues to grow wider. Butler appeared to have thrown a not-so-subtle jab at Heat president Pat Riley and the organization on Thursday as the discontented star continues to serve his seven-game suspension.

Visitors will now note that Butler is wearing a headband that reads “I Quit,” and is holding a coffee cup that says “Trade Me” overflowing with money. There’s also a tacky sticker on his No. 22 jersey that screams “Clearance Trade.”
