Warriors, Suns Pursue Jimmy Butler Amid Suspension

Jimmy Butler's situation with the Miami Heat has escalated following his indefinite suspension, leading to intense trade discussions with teams like the Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns. The Heat seem ready to move on from Butler, whose asking price has declined, making him an attractive target for contenders looking to bolster their rosters. The Warriors are particularly interested but face challenges related to salary matching, especially with Andrew Wiggins' significant contract. Meanwhile, the Suns are pushing hard for Butler, but their efforts are hindered by Bradley Beal's no-trade clause complicating their own roster moves. NBA insiders suggest that a three-team trade could be a viable option, potentially involving teams like the Charlotte Hornets to facilitate a deal. As the February 6 trade deadline approaches, teams are under pressure to finalize trades for Butler, making the next few days critical for his future in the league.
