Can Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat get back on compatible terms?

In Butler’s own words: “probably not.” After a report suggesting Butler would prefer a trade, the Heat confirmed he has been suspended due to conduct detrimental to the team. Butler’s time with the Heat seems to be running out.

Butler is averaging his lowest points per game in years and is set to explore free agency soon, but a team that takes a chance on him could reap significant rewards come playoff time.

Here are the three best trade fits for Butler:

3. Memphis Grizzlies

The Grizzlies are currently performing well, leading the NBA in scoring. Butler could be an essential asset to help them finally surpass previous playoff hurdles.

2. Orlando Magic

Despite injuries to key players, the Magic have been impressive. Butler could reinforce their defense while adding much-needed offensive capabilities.

1. Houston Rockets

As the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference, the Rockets have a promising young core, and adding Butler could elevate them to title contenders. They would benefit from his experience and elite scoring ability.
