After the Heat suspend Jimmy Butler for 7 games for 'conduct detrimental to the team', the trade watch appears to begin.

MIAMI — Jimmy Butler was Miami’s best player for five years, the leader of a team that went to the NBA Finals twice in his tenure. He talked big and, at times, played bigger. He spoke with reverence for the city, for the franchise, for the famed “Heat Culture.”

Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler has indicated he wants out of the team he has led to two NBA Finals. Butler said Thursday night that he had lost his joy playing in Miami.
