As the Heat look to settle the transfer of Jimmy Butler as quickly as possible, all camps advance their pawns. On the Miami side, we assure that we are ready to reinstate the All-Star following his seven-game suspension, if no interesting offer arises. A way of saying that we won't accept just anything.
Many also think that benching Bradley Beal would be a way for the Suns to put pressure on him, so that he abandons his “no-trade clause” in the event of an exchange to clubs that would not have interested him. .
As for American “insiders”they explain that Jimmy Butler's camp is also trying to play its cards, taking advantage of the fact that the six-time All-Star can test the market at the end of the season, and can therefore threaten not to return to a destination that does not doesn't interest him. Thus, the Grizzlies and the Bucks would have been informed that “Jimmy Buckets” did not wish to stay there if he was transferred there.
A way for the basketball player to discourage Memphis and Milwaukee from setting up a “trade” to get him back.
Under these conditions, and as the Heat does not want to end up with a “bad contract” at the end of the negotiations, the most discussed solution is a triangle exchange, Jimmy Butler joining Devin Booker and Kevin Durant in Phoenix while Bradley Beal would go towards a third team, Miami obtaining Draft rounds and young people or expiring contracts. It remains to find the third team in question…
