Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler is listed as doubtful for the game but reportedly wants a trade by February 6.
Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler, who has not directly requested a trade, is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against Orlando as he seeks more time for recovery. However, ESPN sources say Butler wants a trade by the February 6 deadline, with potential new teams including Phoenix, Golden State, Houston, and Dallas. The Heat face the risk of losing Butler for nothing next summer if they do not trade him or extend his contract, which could guarantee him $113 million for the next two seasons.
