What should we expect from Jimmy Butler rejoining the Heat this week? And why Oklahoma City should be feeling thankful.

We're two weeks away from the deadline, and new names who could have a market have emerged. But No. 1 remains the same.

The NBA trade deadline is not until Feb. 6, but the buzz around notable players and teams is building. Keep an eye on players such as Jimmy Butler, Cameron Johnson, and Zach LaVine, who'll be linked to possible trades. One team to watch is the Phoenix Suns, who have stayed busy in January, making two trades while remaining in the mix for Butler.

Butler was informed at shootaround that he would come off the bench behind Haywood Highsmith in this game, which prompted Butler to walk out of shootaround. From there, the Heat suspended Butler “indefinitely,” a story broken by Shams Charania of The Athletic and since confirmed by the team.

As the trade deadline gets closer, other teams trying to get involved in the Jimmy Butler trade, and the Chicago Bulls are one of them.
