Jimmy Butler has "indicated to the Miami Heat" that he wants to be traded ahead of the Feb. 6 deadline, according to ESPN's Shams Charania and Brian Windhorst.

Butler "is open to playing anywhere other than Miami," according to Charania and Windhorst.

The news comes after Butler said on Thursday night that he does not believe he can get back to enjoying basketball with the Heat.

"What do I want to see happen? I want to see me get my joy back from playing basketball, wherever that may be," Butler said after the Heat's Thursday night loss to the Indiana Pacers.
