The Heat are “cautiously optimistic” about the possibility of making a Jimmy Butler trade before the Feb. 6 deadline, according to Barry Jackson and Anthony Chiang of The Miami Herald, who report that Miami has been engaging “several” teams besides the Suns.

Jimmy Butler won't be on the court again for the Miami Heat anytime soon. The Heat suspended Butler indefinitely on Monday afternoon, the team announced. The suspension marks his third with the organization amid his demand for a trade, which has yet to be met.

The Miami Heat have suspended Jimmy Butler for the third time in five weeks, this time an indefinite sanction issued Monday when the former All-Star forward left the team’s morning shootaround after being told he would not be returning from his previous suspension as a starter.
