With free agency only hours away and Pat Riley getting a chance to chance to get in the room with Jimmy Butler, a trade rumor is bubbling back up — Hassan Whiteside for J.R. Smith.
Sources: Jimmy Butler expected to meet the Miami Heat in South Fla. Sunday. Butler/Rockets meeting likely early week in LA. Sixers haven’t ruled out working with Butler on sign-and-trades, which Miami and Houston need to acquire the All-Star guard.

NBA reporters have discussed the possibility of some type of this trade all month long.
