The impending trade of Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler remains the top storyline in the NBA, as after the two sides failed to agree to an extension this offseason,
Miami announced the indefinite suspension after its star forward walked out of shootaround Monday, and a trade before next week’s deadline is the inevitable next step.
On Tuesday, the Suns traded their 2031 unprotected first-round pick to the Jazz in exchange for first-round picks in 2025, 2027 and 2029.
The Miami Heat are playing a game of beggars also wanting to be choosers. Considering all the turmoil that has gone down in Miami and the multitude of suspensions given out to Butler during this saga, one would imagine the Heat would just want to wipe their hands clean of the situation. However, that is simply not who Pat Riley is.
The Suns have positioned themselves as a top contender to land Heat star Jimmy Butler as the NBA trade deadline approaches on Feb. 6.
The Phoenix Suns are trading their 2031 unprotected first to the Utah Jazz for three first-round picks, sources tell ESPN. The Suns are acquiring the least favorable firsts in 2025 of Cleveland/Minnesota, 2027 of Cleveland/Minnesota/Utah and 2029 of Cleveland/Minnesota/Utah.
Where will Jimmy Butler end up before the 2025 NBA trade deadline? Only four teams realistically make the most sense to acquire the disgruntled veteran wing.
A Jimmy Butler trade is not necessarily lined up for the Phoenix Suns and Miami Heat. But a trade of picks with the Utah Jazz gives them flexibility.
With a little over a week left until the 2025 NBA trade deadline, the league was hit with another bombastic trade rumor regarding the player who finished No. 2 on this list, from a report that came almost out of nowhere.
The Phoenix Suns have been relentless in their preparation to trade for the superstar forward from the Miami Heat.
Multiple teams have made bets of some size that Phoenix will be terrible between 2026 and 2031. And those bets may pay off.
