After Failing To Acquire Jimmy Butler, Heat To ‘Explore Potential Trades,’ John Wall & Bradley Beal As Targets
The Miami Heat were one of the NBA teams who expressed strong interest in acquiring Jimmy Butler from the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Heat nearly added the All-Star forward to their roster, but talks with the Timberwolves fractured after Minnesota asked for more trade assets in return. Instead of sending him to South Beach, the Timberwolves ended up trading Butler to the Philadelphia 76ers for a trade package including Dario Saric, Robert Covington, Jerryd Bayless, and a future draft pick.
