The Jimmy Butler saga continues for the Miami Heat, and they have only about a week to trade him if they want to rid themselves of him before the end of the season. It is believed his preferred destination is the Phoenix Suns,

Speculation continues to swirl about a possible trade involving the Suns' Bradley Beal and the Heat's Jimmy Butler ahead of the NBA trade deadline.

Butler was informed at shootaround that he would come off the bench behind Haywood Highsmith in this game, which prompted Butler to walk out of shootaround. From there, the Heat suspended Butler “indefinitely,” a story broken by Shams Charania of The Athletic and since confirmed by the team.
