“Massive News” Miami Heat Trade Elite Sensation, Land Former No. 1 Pick In Potential Blockbuster Trade

It appears that the Miami Heat and star Jimmy Butler prefer to stay together, but unfortunate circumstances could force them to consider other options.

If the regular season doesn’t start well for the Heat and Butler continues to face injury issues, it might prompt a significant trade at the deadline. The Golden State Warriors are one team likely to join the conversation if the 35-year-old becomes available.

Golden State has made it clear that they remain focused on competing for a championship with superstar Stephen Curry leading the way. Recently, Bleacher Report suggested a four-team trade that would bring Butler to the Warriors.

Here are the complete details of the trade:

Warriors receive:

• Jimmy Butler (from Heat)
• Anton Watson (from Celtics)

Heat receive:

• Andrew Wiggins (from Warriors)
• Jonathan Kuminga (from Warriors)
• $ 14.9 million trade exception (for Butler)

Pistons receive:

• Kevon Looney (from Warriors)
• Gary Payton II (from Warriors)
• Atlanta Hawks’ 2026 second-round pick (from Warriors)
• Los Angeles Lakers’ 2026 second-round pick (from Heat)
• Atlanta Hawks’ 2028 second-round pick (from Warriors)
• $ 2.5 million (from Warriors)
• $ 1.5 million (from Heat)

Celtics receive:

• $ 1.1 million (from Heat)

Miami Heat team president Pat Riley may seek additional draft assets if he decides to trade away his franchise cornerstone. Dealing the six-time All-Star would require the Heat to spend a few years assembling a championship-caliber team around All-Star Bam Adebayo.
