With Butler's seven-game team-issued suspension nearing its end, uncertainty surrounds his future with the Miami Heat as trade discussions continue.
Butler's preference is clear: he would like to be traded due to a deteriorating relationship with the Heat, but no serious offers have been made.
As the Heat prepares to face the Lakers, Butler is eligible to return, and if retailed, he is expected to comply to avoid further salary loss.
Despite Butler's suspension costing him $2.4 million, the Players Association is considering a grievance to challenge the suspension in hopes of recovering salary.
