It is no secret that Jimmy Butler wants to be traded. He reportedly told Miami Heat president and minority governor as much, to his face, in a meeting last week, according to Shams Charania of ESPN, and also said he wouldn't sign a new deal with the team.
While he awaits any possible move, however, he is currently serving a seven-game suspension for conduct detrimental to the team, which ends on Thursday. He's expected to play for the team once that suspension lifts.
"l'm told [Butler] is fully prepared to return to play for the Heat if he is not moved by the time his suspension is lifted," NBA insider Chris Haynes said Tuesday during an appearance on The Dan LeBatard Show (5:00 mark).
