The Jimmy Butler trade saga took a turn for the even more dramatic on Monday. The Miami Heat suspended the All-NBA forward indefinitely after he walked out of practice upon learning he was getting benched. And the ripple effects of the latest suspension are already being felt.
Insiders are reporting that the Heat are lowering their asking price for Butler in the wake of this latest development. Consequentially, the list of potential candidates for his services is getting longer. On Tuesday, the Golden State Warriors and Philadelphia 76ers were both linked to Butler in trade rumors by NBA reporters.
