Extra on this storyline
Dru: “Essentially [the Warriors are] trying to trade Andrew Wiggins & some draft picks [for a star], that’s just not going to get them very far. At least it hasn’t. I’ll say, I feel Miami was keen to try this deal for Jimmy Butler. Let’s see if by Thursday that will get revisited.” @Brian Windhorst -via Twitter / February 4, 2025
Chris Haynes: Sources: Jimmy Butler’s camp has repeatedly told Heat he’s in shape, healthy and ready to continue his career and move past this immediately. Their messaging to Warmth has been to barter greatest deal attainable and as soon as in purple zone, if that group is granted permission by MIA to talk with Butler’s rep to debate his longterm future, that dialogue could be welcomed. Up to now, no group has requested for permission. -via x.com / February 4, 2025
