Bill Simmons came up with a four-team trade that would involve Butler heading to Phoenix. He said on his podcast : "Well, the trade I came up with was Butler to the Suns, Beal to the Bucks, Miami gets Khris Middleton, Steven Adams from Houston and Cam Whitmore from Houston, and Houston gets Brook Lopez, and that actually works."

The Miami Heat are suspending Jimmy Butler for two games, per multiple reports, including ESPN. Butler missed the team's flight on Wednesday for Thursday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks, but had plans to join the team Wednesday evening.
