The Philadelphia 76ers could soon join the Jimmy Butler trade sweepstakes after an NBA insider linked Paul George to the Miami

It is a sad way for Butler to end his stint in Miami after guiding the Heat to two NBA Finals and almost a third since arriving in 2019. Where will he end up next? That is unclear although the Phoenix Suns are the team to have been most consistently linked with him in recent weeks. The Golden State Warriors are believed to be in the mix as well.

Butler was informed at shootaround that he would come off the bench behind Haywood Highsmith in this game, which prompted Butler to walk out of shootaround. From there, the Heat suspended Butler “indefinitely,” a story broken by Shams Charania of The Athletic and since confirmed by the team.
