As for Butler's future, 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.
Miami isn't shopping Butler—just listening to offers, which falls in line to Charania's original reporting. Marks has previously highlighted that the Heat were in the 'driver's seat' with Butler's situation.
If a desperate offer doesn't approach Miami's desk, the likelihood of him being with the Heat remains high. That is and has been the reality for the last several months.
