Golden State has rotation players on expiring contracts, which Miami is reported to covet in any Butler trade, in Gary Payton II, Dennis Schroder and Kevon Looney. The Warriors also have their own first-round picks each year through 2031, though they will likely strive to protect those in any short-term deal.

After reportedly requesting a trade to “anywhere other than Miami,” Jimmy Butler turned down another team interested in trading for him. Butler wanted a maximum extension from the Miami Heat, which would be worth around $113 million and last until he was almost 40.

Jimmy Butler looked like a strong possibility for the Warriors. But that got shot down on Sunday night for a bombshell reason.

Trade negotiations between the Golden State Warriors and Miami Heat have come to a halt due to Jimmy Butler's unwillingness to sign an extension with the Warriors, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst.

Well, Butler has (reportedly) already put the kibosh on that conversation. According to ESPN' s Brian Windhorst, the 35-year-old has told the team that he wouldn't sign an extension there and therefore any trade talks have ended.

Butler, who has made it clear that he wants the Heat to trade him, is suspended by the Heat at least through Thursday’s trade deadline. But the Heat labeled this latest suspension as “indefinite” due “to a continued pattern of disregard of team rules, engaging in conduct detrimental to the team and intentionally withholding services.”

"The Heat’s Jimmy Butler has communicated to the Warriors that he’s unwilling to sign an extension there & therefore trade talks to send him to Golden State have ended for now," Windhorst shared.
