Part 3/8:
Prior to Butler's latest suspension, the prevailing sentiment was that he would remain with the Heat beyond the trade deadline. The asking price around the league was steep, involving draft picks and young talent, with Miami being cautious about long-term contracts beyond 2026. However, the climate has shifted; discussions with other teams reveal that the asking price for Butler has decreased. This change in price signals a potential shift in strategy, suggesting that a trade could be imminent, especially as Miami seeks to offload Butler by February 6th.
