The Miami Heat might be open to trading their All-Star forward, Jimmy Butler, according to a former NBA Executive who spoke to NBA Analysis Network. The Heat, who have made several unsuccessful moves in recent years, have committed a lot of money to Kyle Lowry and Duncan Robinson, but neither player lived up to their expectations.

As a result, the Heat have been struggling, failing to make it to the playoffs this season, and a rebuilding phase may be on the horizon. If the Heat trade Butler, they could receive draft capital and players who line up with the same timeline as Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro, two of their younger stars. Butler would have several interested suitors, and the New York Knicks have already been mentioned as a possible destination.

The Heat have not made a final decision on trading Butler, but it is clear that they are open for business, having explored options to trade Kyle Lowry earlier. The offseason will bring more clarity to Miami's direction, with a deep playoff run possibly changing the plan.
