While there are reports that Jimmy Butler has requested a trade, the Miami Heat apparently did not make his list of preferred destinations.
Just minutes after The Athletic reported that Butler requested a trade from the Minnesota Timberwolves, ESPN reported his three-team wish list includes the Brooklyn Nets, Los Angeles Clippers and New York Knicks. All three of those teams are expected to have significant salary-cap space next summer, something the Heat is not projected to have until the 2020 offseason.
