Jimmy Butler trade update with two NBA rivals fighting for indefinitely suspended star who wants out

Following Jimmy Butler’s indefinite suspension by the Miami Heat, two NBA rivals are reportedly vying for his services.

The six-time NBA All-Star has never concealed his wish to depart from the Florida squad.

Earlier this month, Butler announced his decision to leave Miami and was already suspended for seven games.

Butler was also given a two-game ban by his team after skipping a team flight.

But now that his immediate future is in doubt, the celebrity has been grounded indefinitely.

At the moment, Butler loses out on $340,000 for each game he does not participate in.

According to reports, the Heat are now negotiating a spectacular trade with two NBA rivals.

Both the Phoenix Suns and the Golden State Warriors are attempting to entice Butler away from Miami, according to ESPN.

The 35-year-old diminutive forward has a devoted following.

Additionally, if Butler signs with one of them, it would be his seventh NBA team.

He has previously played with the Philadelphia 76ers, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Chicago Bulls.

Butler would only make his second career appearance in the Western Conference with a relocation to the Suns or Warriors.

According to NBA icon Vince Carter, the Heat must fire Butler as soon as possible in order to maintain their hopes of making the playoffs.

He stated: “I believe they recognize his refusal to comply.

“He’s expressing himself. He’s making every effort to move.

“Now that he’s not showing up, it’s time to decide what’s best for your company and move on, as it’s starting to become a distraction.

“They still have an opportunity to contend and remain in the playoffs.

“The sooner you get rid of the problem or fix the problem, I feel like the better you will be.”
