Will the Miami Heat trade Jimmy Butler? It\u2019s been a popular topic of discussion as NBA rumors heat up around the league as the 35-year-old navigates a season in which he\u2019s averaging his fewest points per game since 2014.<\/p>\n

The Heat are still in playoff contention; Erik Spoelstra has Miami in fifth place of the Eastern Conference entering NBA games today. Yet, several other contenders appear to be in a better position to win an NBA Championship, which is all both Butler and the Heat want.<\/p>\n

While the two-way superstar has helped Miami get close on several occasions, including two trips to the NBA Finals, they only made it to the first round of the playoffs last season. Not having Butler due to injury didn\u2019t help. But the six-time All-Star isn\u2019t getting any younger, and the Heat may want to trade him before he likely declines his player option and becomes a free agent at season\u2019s end.<\/p>\n

As tough as it may be to think about trading Jimmy Butler, the Miami Heat won\u2019t make a deal that\u2019s not to their liking. But what does Pat Riley want in return for his five-time All-NBA swingman?<\/p>\n

Now we know, thanks to The Athletic\u2019s NBA insider David Aldridge, who states the Heat are targeting players who can help them win now, instead of loading up on potential via future draft picks and young prospects who need development.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cSo if moving Butler brings back players that give Miami more of a shot, the Heat will engage. That likely means taking back players, rather than a deal featuring a bunch of future picks. Riles doesn\u2019t do rebuilds. (Plus, he\u2019s going to be 80 in March.)\u201d<\/p>\n

Aldridge indicates that \u201cNothing has approached a serious offer yet,\u201d however, it\u2019s clear that Miami is open to negotiating. Of course, there is a scenario that sees Miami hold onto their face of the franchise, but unless the Heat are suddenly willing to offer a max contract, it seems far more likely that Butler gets traded elsewhere, it\u2019s only a matter of when.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
