The Golden State Warriors have consistently been linked with a potential trade for Jimmy Butler in recent weeks. However, since Butler handed in a trade request to the Miami Heat, the Warriors have been rumored to be pulling away.

ESPN's Bobby Marks proposed a three-team trade that would see the Warriors acquire Jilly Butler for a haul of players and assets.

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