Shams Charania: The Phoenix Suns are fully focused on trying to get a deal done for Jimmy Butler. From everything I’m told, they are working on three-, four-, and five-team trade scenarios to figure out a pathway for Jimmy Butler.

Heat rules out Jimmy Butler, Josh Richardson, Dru Smith and Isaiah Stevens for tomorrow’s game vs. Bulls in Chicago.
Heat lists Duncan Robinson (right hip contusion) as probable. – 4:50 PM

Some of the latest buzz on the Warriors leading up to the trade deadline. Waiting game could help their leverage as Jimmy Butler, Miami, Phoenix, Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant situation nears its end point, but that’s attached to opportunity risk. nytimes.com/athletic/61094… – 3:51 PM

“The Warriors are legitimately calling about every All-Star player. Just name the All-Star player. … LeBron, players like Kevin Durant, players like Jimmy Butler.”
@ShamsCharania says the Warriors are dead set on adding an All-Star to pair with Steph 👀 pic.x.com/6p1zslQdo7 – 1:22 PM

I’ve tried very hard to not give every five-minute updates, but will say this because there seems to be even more angst tonight than usual.
There are trade talks involving Jimmy Butler that are ongoing.
Will a deal happen? No idea. Tons of moving parts. But ongoing. – 9:58 PM

Honestly Sacramento should go back to the Heat for Jimmy Butler now.
If you’re just trying to win 45 games anyway, Jimmy and LaVine is more exciting than DeMar and LaVine. Maybe Jimmy could help you get the occasional stop. – 9:57 PM

Bulls should trade Vucevic for Jimmy Butler and just pray Butler never plays.
All in tank.
Vooch, Lonzo, Dosunmo?
Toss some Heat draft capital in there.
It’s clear the Bulls best asset now is its own 2025 pick. They should be as bad as possible. pic.x.com/SZOhCeYIrq – 9:57 PM

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, sources told ESPN. – 9:29 PM

What’s the latest with Jimmy Butler?
With the Suns? With the Bucks? With the Grizzlies? With the Warriors?

Good stat from Bulls PR: Nikola Vucevic is first center in franchise history to post triple double and make at least four 3-pointers and is the first Bull overall to do it since Jimmy Butler on Feb. 25, 2017. – 5:47 PM

More on this storyline
Shams Charania: “The Warriors are legitimately calling about every All-Star player. You name an All-Star player, and they’ve probably called about him. Paul George? They’ve called. LeBron James? They’ve made calls. Kevin Durant? Jimmy Butler? Yes. They are dead set on trying to find another star player or superstar to pair with Stephen Curry. That’s another subplot to this trade deadline as well.” -via YouTube / February 3, 2025
Golden State could use a stretch five and the Sun-Times has confirmed that the Warriors remain a possibility after they try and make a big splash first whether it’s Kevin Durant or Jimmy Butler. The Lakers are suddenly a possibility, but would rather try hitting on a defensive center first in the wake of landing Luka Doncic and losing Anthony Davis. -via Chicago Sun-Times / February 3, 2025
There are still three days until the trade deadline, an eternity in this transaction window. The Warriors believe they are still firmly in the mix for Butler or another of the league’s star dominos that could topple as part of the Butler transaction or once it is resolved, team sources said. -via New York Times / February 3, 2025
