The situation with Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat has gotten messy and dramatic, but both sides are still technically working together.

Weeks ago, Butler was slapped with his first seven-game suspension for conduct that was detrimental to the team.
When that suspension was over, he came back, but only briefly.
He was given another two-game suspension for more off-court behavior, particularly missing a team flight.
Now Butler is back again, but it’s not clear how long he will be with the team.
He could be traded at any moment and many reports say the Heat are hard at work trying to find a suitable trade partner to take on Butler’s contract.
Until that happens, he will be a member of the Heat.
Fans, however, will be cautious with their acceptance of Butler.
He has become so inconsistent because of the suspensions and his desire to leave the team and many fans are upset by his actions and how they have seemingly hurt Miami.
The Heat have lost five of their last seven games and are hoping for a win at home on Monday night.
Following that, they will take on the Cleveland Cavaliers, San Antonio Spurs, and Chicago Bulls.
Their last game before the trade deadline will be against the Philadelphia 76ers on February 5.
Will that be Butler’s final game with the Heat or will he be traded away before that?
