One of the biggest stories around the NBA of late has been what the Miami Heat will do with star Jimmy Butler. Butler has requested a trade out of Miami and has been suspended for the past few games.

As the Miami Heat face the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night, it will be the sixth contest served in Jimmy Butler 's seven-game suspension. With the drama between the Heat and Butler lingering, there have been more rumors surrounding the relationship that include interesting details.

The Celtics are well on their way to winning another championship under Joe Mazzulla, making it logical for the franchise to do everything they can to retain their key assets. It would be in the Heat’s best interest to swap Butler for an alternative stud before the Feb. 6 trade deadline.
