The offer for Jimmy Butler that the Pelicans hope will convince Miami Heat

Miami Heat continues to seek a way out for a Jimmy Butler who is currently suspended indefinitely by the Florida franchise. Before the NBA trade deadline, he will be playing for another team, that seems certain.

What remains unknown is which team will be able to secure Butler's signing. Phoenix Suns appear to be the front-runners, although negotiations are getting complicated. This situation is being monitored by the New Orleans Pelicans, as the Miami Heat view Brandon Ingram favorably.

This claim comes from NBA Rumors expert Marc Stein, in The Stein Line. The Pelicans are far off from playoff contention and are determined to reduce luxury tax. Because of this, they have shown interest in negotiating for Butler with a deal centered around Ingram's $36 million contract.

Butler has a player option of $52 million for the next season. The Pelicans might try to negotiate an extension with him if he were to be traded there, reducing the yearly amount the player would earn in New Orleans.
