Jimmy Butler is reportedly standing his ground.

ESPN's Shams Charania appeared on Tuesday's episode of NBA Today and said, "Butler has tripled down on his trade request. He did it to Pat Riley's face, and last week he did it to Micky Arison, the team owner and CEO. I'm told the Heat have had some productive conversations on a potential Butler trade this week."

This article will be updated soon to provide more information and analysis.
