ESPN’s Kevin Pelton and Bobby Marks proposed a Golden State Warriors trade with the Miami Heat for disgruntled star Jimmy Butler.

Since the offseason, the Golden State Warriors are a team that's been heavily linked to a plethora of different trade rumors. From being linked to Lauri Markkanen to Paul George to Zion Williamson, the Warriors have been attached to numerous names.

Golden State has long been rumored to be on the search for a star player on the trade market, and one player who fits that bill to a tee is Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler, who has made no secrets about his desire to take his talents away from South Beach.

Teams are entering the NBA trade deadline with the idea of adjusting their cap situations, while rumors and intel about Jimmy Butler form.

The Butler trade saga added a new wrinkle for the Warriors to pursue a move. Before the 2024-25 season commenced, Butler's trade stock had more juice. However, given the public demands and behind-the-scenes maneuvering, the Heat continue to lose leverage if they decide to make a trade.

Jimmy Butler says he doesn't want to play in Memphis but trading for him still might be worth the risk for the Grizzlies.

Multi-time All-Stars and 2024 Olympians Jewell Loyd and Kelsey Plum are changing locations in a massive three-team deal that will send Loyd to the Las Vegas Aces, Plum to the Los Angeles Sparks and a collection of assets to the Seattle Storm that includes the No. 2 pick in the upcoming draft.

The Detroit Pistons may not be big players at the NBA trade deadline, but their cap space could net some assets in helping out blockbuster deals.
