Jimmy Butler Rumors: Warriors' Interest Could Lead to 'Substantive' Heat Trade Talks

NBA insiders believe the Golden State Warriors are the most likely team to have "substantive trade talks" about Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler, according to Marc Stein.

The Warriors are one of the teams Butler is "open to as a destination," ESPN's Shams Charania previously reported.

Butler's agent has indicated he would also be open to joining the Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks or Phoenix Suns, according to Charania.

The Rockets and Mavericks have not shown "tangible interest" in making a deal for Butler, Stein reported.

The Suns' theoretical pursuit of Butler is complicated by the fact that any deal would likely involve Bradley Beal, Stein noted.
