Phoenix Suns' pursuit of Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler will only ramp up in terms of speculation. The most recent turn was a few days ago, where the Heat announced they suspended Butler for seven games while also confirming they would entertain trade offers (after previously denying so).

In my opinion, the Warriors continue to be the team rumored to be in the mix for Butler that makes the most sense. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green are Hall-of-Famers who aren’t getting younger. The question is whether they can get Butler without decimating the younger transitional core they’ve assembled.

Now that the Miami Heat have started exploring the trade market for Jimmy Butler, one potential option they won't consider is taking back Bradley Beal
