Miami is being patient while Butler is suspended, knowing that other teams will start to get desperate near the trade deadline.

The Jimmy Butler sweepstakes are being hard-fought by many teams. Butler reportedly listed three organizations he would like to join if traded. Those teams included the Dallas Mavericks, Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns.

The Grizzlies, who do make a lot of sense on paper for both sides, have been told to stay away. Everyone knows the Butler market is soft, and as such Miami is fielding "poo-poo platter" offers, which is funny enough to mention twice. Obviously Miami isn't going to make a trade for that kind of return. So, stay tuned. This could get uglier.
