Windhorst: Jimmy Butler Trade Offers 'Stink' as Heat Eye Deal Before NBA Deadline

With the Feb. 6 NBA trade deadline less than a month away, the Miami Heat reportedly aren't getting any closer to trading disgruntled star forward Jimmy Butler.

ESPN's Brian Windhorst reported during Tuesday's episode of First Take that the Heat aren't receiving quality trade offers because teams know Butler is unlikely to sign a contract extension this year.

"We're at a genuine stalemate. I don't know how it's going to play out," Windhorst said. "The Heat are preparing internally for this to last past the suspension, not because they've got some sort of sinister motive, but because they know what offers they've gotten and they stink.
