Let's take a look at five potential trade candidates ahead of Thursday's deadline:

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.

"There has been some chatter since last night of the Suns pulling away from Jimmy Butler trade talks and focusing on improving their roster by moving Jusuf Nurkic. Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic is one name that keeps coming up in conversations," he wrote on Twitter/X.

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.

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 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.

Fox is the new name on the market after sending signals he doesn't want to commit long term to the Kings. Meanwhile, Butler remains suspended as the Heat decide his future.
