Jimmy Butler has made it pretty clear that he is hoping to be traded from the Miami Heat. If for some reason that does not happen, it is almost certain that he will leave in the summer as a free agent, with the 35-year-old having a player option for next season.

Despite the Miami Heat’s ongoing trade efforts involving Jimmy Butler, the NBA market has been surprisingly quiet, according to Barry Jackson and Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald.

Following Jimmy Butler’s postgame comments where he indicated he would like to be traded from the team, the Miami Heat have suspended the star forward for seven games, adding that the team will consider trade offers for 14-year veteran.

Bam Adebayo had 19 points, nine rebounds and five assists with two timely dunks down the stretch, and the Miami Heat snapped a three-game losing streak by beating the Golden State Warriors 114-98.

Coach Steve Kerr criticized his Golden State Warriors for being down and lacking "a competitive spirit" in their embarrassing Tuesday night loss to the Miami Heat.

Steve Kerr said the Warriors are "deflated" after a second straight home blowout loss, while Stephen Curry said the emotion around the team was "just pissed off."
