According to NBA insider Shams Charania of ESPN, the Miami Heat are suspending Jimmy Butler indefinitely. Butler, who has requested a trade from the Heat, walked out of shootaround this morning after being informed the team is planning not to start him.

As per the scenario, the Heat would be getting back two first-round picks while taking back only short-term salary. The Warriors would be getting Stephen Curry a co-star while still holding onto their prized young assets such as Jonathan Kuminga and Brandin Podziemski.

Haywood Highsmith will start in his place. Butler was set to return to the team Monday after serving a two-game suspension.

The NBA trade deadline is not until Feb. 6, but the buzz around notable players and teams is building. Keep an eye on players such as Jimmy Butler, Cameron Johnson, and Zach LaVine, who'll be linked to possible trades. One team to watch is the Phoenix Suns, who have stayed busy in January, making two trades while remaining in the mix for Butler.

That’s because the Spurs — reportedly Fox’s preferred trade destination — currently have nine tradeable first-round picks that they can include in a deal to the Heat’s one tradeable first-round selection. San Antonio also has young talent such as Keldon Johnson, Devin Vassell and others who it can add to any trade package for Fox.
