Butler's second suspension with the Heat came from the miscommunication of the travel policy as the 35-year-old missed a team flight to Milwaukee on Jan. 22. However, The Athletic would write both sides have told “different tales” in terms of that incident.

According to Five Reasons Sports, the Heat have entered the Kevin Durant sweepstakes. As Miami looks to find a new home for Jimmy Butler, the front office has inquired about the availability of Durant. The Golden State Warriors have also been involved in conversations surrounding a reunion with Durant or a potential trade for Butler.

The Heat-Jimmy Butler saga seems to have reached its final chapter. Miami is closing in on a trade to send Butler to the Warriors in exchange for Andrew Wiggins, Dennis Schroder, Kyle Anderson and a protected first-round draft pick, ESPN’s Shams Charania first reported.
