The Miami Heat are open to trading Jimmy Butler.
Butler seems to want to play somewhere besides Miami.
But trading him might not be so simple.
Sam Vecenie of The Athletic reported Sunday that "league sources speculating on Butler's landing spot across the NBA struggled to come up with deals they think makes sense for everyone involved."
The 35-year-old Butler surely doesn't want to go to a rebuilding team, and a rebuilding team likely won't want to take him on for future assets. But contending teams would also drastically alter their on-court makeup by adding him to a rotation.
