\"NBA:<\/p>\n

When trade season got underway in the NBA,\u00a0Jimmy Butler\u00a0was among the biggest names to pop up in the rumor mill. Despite multiple teams reportedly having an interest in him, one insider doesn’t expect the six-time All-Star to be moved.<\/p>\n

In his Monday column diving into trade intel across the league, Bobby Marks touched on Butler’s situation with the Miami Heat. He cited that the star forward could remain with his current team, but brought up two factors that could result in a trade. Those being that Butler becomes a distraction in the Heat’s locker room or the front office getting offered a deal they cannot turn down.<\/p>\n

“As for Butler’s future,” Marks wrote. “There is a growing consensus among the teams I talked to that unless the six-time All-Star becomes a distraction, or the Heat receive a trade offer they cannot turn down, Butler will be on the Heat’s roster once the deadline passes.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
