Jimmy Butler has been wrapped up in NBA trade rumors for a few weeks now. Shams Charania leaked that the player wanted to leave, that Miami Heat was not going to renew his contract, and that teams like the Golden State Warriors might be interested. A couple of days ago, Pat Riley said that the good old Jimmy was not going to leave Florida this season, but whether that will actually happen remains to be seen.
That period will end on February 6 with the closing of the NBA market. We'll see if the Heat have traded Butler by then or not. For now, the player is having fun with all the gossip:
"It's a good question. Who knows? Not me, but I'm here now, so I'm going to make the most of it... I'm not bothered at all... I love that, I thrive on it... It makes the world wonder... It's good to have people talking about you, and even better if they love you."
