Miami Wants To Move Jimmy Butler "As Soon As Possible"
According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Miami Heat would like to trade forward Jimmy Butler "as soon as possible." The multi-time All-Star is away from the team while serving a seven-game suspension. However, even if he's not moved before his suspension is over, it's likely he has already played his final game in Miami. Butler has already informed the team that he wants to be dealt elsewhere, and as of a few weeks ago, he preferred a trade to Phoenix or Golden State. Yet, there are several challenges in either scenario from a financial aspect. There's also a recent report from The Athletic indicating the Warriors aren't interested, especially since Butler is looking for a max contract moving forward. While there was once a time when Butler was considered an MVP-caliber performer, that's no longer the case, with the 35-year-old averaging 17.6 points, his lowest since the 2013-14 campaign. At any rate, there's a good chance he'll land somewhere before his suspension is over. But fantasy managers should consider any trade offer for Butler, considering his injury issues may follow him to his new team.
