As the NBA trade deadline approaches, the Miami Heat's plans surrounding Jimmy Butler become clearer. Reports suggest that any potential trade for the disgruntled star would likely involve multiple teams, particularly with the Phoenix Suns showing strong interest. They are willing to offer Butler a lucrative max extension. However, the Heat are not interested in acquiring Bradley Beal's costly contract. The Toronto Raptors are positioning themselves to help facilitate a three-team or larger trade, possibly targeting Bruce Brown, a former Miami Hurricanes player, as a key asset in the negotiations.
The Toronto Raptors have convinced numerous front offices that they are motivated to help facilitate transactions before the trade buzzer sounds. 'They want to get involved in any Jimmy Butler trade,' one GM told The Stein Line.
The Suns are trying to pull an all-in move to supplement their superstar duo of Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. The odd man out is indeed Bradley Beal, whose salary would need to be moved in order for them to bring in Butler.
