A 4-team mega-trade involving the Miami Heat and Jimmy Butler

With reports of possible discontent, here’s a four-team, blockbuster trade involving the Miami Heat centered around All-Star Jimmy Butler.

Usually where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

This is certainly the perspective the Miami Heat should be taking with a recent report outlining the discontent of Jimmy Butler and his current situation with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

According to Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times, Butler has “been frustrated with the nonchalant attitudes of younger teammates, specifically Karl-Anthony Towns.” Such is his degree of frustration that Cowley is reporting that Butler does not intend to sign a contract extension with the Wolves.

Butler’s arrival in Minnesota made an enormous difference to the performance of the Timberwolves, with their win total rising from 31 to 47 wins on their way to a first round loss in the playoffs to the Houston Rockets.

Naturally, the chance to reunite with his former head coach in Tom Thibodeau was an enormous attraction for Butler when he was traded to the Timberwolves last summer from the Chicago Bulls.

However, despite he and Thibodeau having the same affinity for hard work and dedication, it appears this may have translated to his younger teammates.

Turning 29 prior to the start of next season, Butler is in no mood to wait for players to follow his lead, as he told the Chicago Sun Times in April:

"“I just don’t think there have been many people that have understood how important winning is to me, man. I just had a conversation about that very thing with somebody — not important who — but I put so much into this game, and I only play to win.”"

With $118.7 million already owed to just 11 players next season, the Heat would need to get extremely creative in order to land some high calibre talent. So with this is in mind, here’s a four-team, blockbuster deal that would land Jimmy Butler in Miami.
