It’s only a handful of teams that have a better starting 5 than the Rockets. Between Sengun, Green and Jokic… the Future looks extremely bright for Houston. And if I’m the Rockets it’s no way I trade for Jimmy Butler. – 9:59 PM

Part of what fascinates me about the Jimmy Butler saga is that, because of the Over-38 rule, he can only guarantee himself one extra year of max salary with an extension.
Someone who’s made $300+ million is doing all this for one extra year. Idk. Doesn’t feel worth it to me. – 4:54 PM

Jimmy Butler has a $52 million player option for next season, he has tremendous leverage over the Heat in trade demands
Still, Phoenix or bust is a tough tact given the circumstances – 2:08 PM

Lot of rumblings that the Milwaukee Bucks have also been informed not to trade for Jimmy Butler.
@ChrisBHaynes reported earlier the Memphis Grizzlies were told not to. That’s now two playoff teams Butler could be refusing.
So…does Pat Riley give Jimmy what he wants? – 1:00 PM

Can confirm @ChrisBHaynes report that Jimmy Butler doesn’t have interest in being traded to the Grizzlies. Butler can become a free agent this summer, so he has some leverage in where he ends up. – 12:38 PM

More on this storyline
There’s been a lot of chirping in NBA circles about the future of Miami Heat veteran Jimmy Butler. On Tuesday morning, Chris Haynes reported on X that the Memphis Grizzlies and a few other teams received word that Butler has no interest in being there. One of those other teams? Sources told me the Milwaukee Bucks were also told to back off. -via Yahoo! Sports / January 7, 2025
Phoenix Suns star guard Bradley Beal didn’t mince words about whether his removal from the starting lineup is tied to trade talks following his 25-point performance in Monday night’s win at Philadelphia to snap a four-game skid. “If so, I need to be addressed because I hold the cards,” said Beal, who has a no-trade clause in his contract. “Until I’m addressed and somebody says something different, then I’ll be a Sun.” Sources informed The Republic this week the Suns (16-18) are looking for a third team to move Beal and land Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler. -via Arizona Republic / January 7, 2025
Less than a month after his glitzy bash, Jimmy Butler was suspended by the Heat for seven games amid a dispute over his contract and role. His uncompromising personality has landed him at an awkward junction between his two careers: Butler’s ugly standoff with the Heat has prompted fan backlash accusing him of quitting on his team at the same time he is expanding his stake in the high-end specialty coffee industry. The 35-year-old star was all smiles at Big Face’s opening despite the mounting tension, and he appeared intent on opening a new door in case his six-year run with the Heat closes before the Feb. 6 trade deadline. “I still think I’m in my prime if I’m being brutally honest,” said Butler, tucked away from the party noise in a back kitchen filled with unopened supply boxes. “Now, as this coffee life takes off, I’m going to be in here daily making coffee, enjoying the vibes and letting everybody see and know that it’s not a gimmick. This is my passion, and it’s going to be my passion even when I’m done playing.” -via Washington Post / January 7, 2025
