Jimmy Butler continues to push Miami Heat to trade him before the upcoming NBA Trade Deadline on February 6. Currently, NBA trade rumors specialists are mainly discussing 3 teams: Phoenix Suns (who have just acquired more draft picks to make moves), Milwaukee Bucks (the latest addition to the Butler-eligible teams list), and a Golden State Warriors that seems somewhat off the radar following the public "surrender" of Stephen Curry, Steve Kerr, and Draymond Green.

Nevertheless, there are still league figures who envision him in yellow in the coming days, including Shaquille O'Neal, who has commented on the player lately: "I would like to see him in Golden State. I like the idea of him going to Golden State because when he was in Miami, he drove me crazy: he would get near the baseline and shoot a three. I would tell him, 'Brother, lift the damn ball!' That would work in Golden State due to their system."

We will see what happens. It will all depend on whether some desperate team offers something that convinces the tough negotiator Pat Riley, who has seen his house of cards completely collapse and now has to almost start over to try and build another Heat team with championship aspirations.
