NBA Trade Rumors: 13 stars that could be moved at some point in 2023

Jimmy Butler, Miami Heat

At first glance, you may scoff at the idea that Jimmy Butler could be traded. However, if you know anything about Jimmy Butler, you know that if there’s one thing he doesn’t like, it’s losing. And right now, the Miami Heat is doing a bit more losing than winning. And if this team doesn’t tread carefully, Jimmy could demand a trade away from the team.

But that actually wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world for the Heat. You can make the argument that the Heat would actually be better off retooling around Bam Adebayo if they could. I won’t make that argument today but it’s certainly something that has to be out there.

The Jimmy build may have already hit its ceiling in Miami. If that is indeed so, perhaps it is time for the Heat to trade Jimmy. Don’t worry, if it is, that’s something that Jimmy will let the organization know beforehand.
