“The Grizzlies, for example, have held exploratory talks with Miami about Butler, but those interactions haven't gone far,” The Athletic reports. “According to league sources, the Heat asked about Memphis' young players, which the Grizzlies rebuffed.”

After reportedly requesting a trade to “anywhere other than Miami,” Jimmy Butler turned down another team interested in trading for him. Butler wanted a maximum extension from the Miami Heat, which would be worth around $113 million and last until he was almost 40.

Golden State has rotation players on expiring contracts, which Miami is reported to covet in any Butler trade, in Gary Payton II, Dennis Schroder and Kevon Looney. The Warriors also have their own first-round picks each year through 2031, though they will likely strive to protect those in any short-term deal.
