Where could Jimmy Butler suit up next?
Jimmy Butler has become probably the biggest name in this year's trade rumors, largely because he has made it known that he wants to find a new team. Reports suggest that his target list of teams includes the Golden State Warriors, Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks.
The Phoenix Suns are reportedly interested to trade for the star and are prepared to offer Butler an extension if they end up trading for him per NBA insider Marc Stein. Reports have now emerged that Butler may still suit up for the Heat after his suspension is lifted if the team is unable to find a trade partner to deal with.
