Los Angeles could offer Rui Hachimura, Gave Vincent, Jarred Vanderbilt, Max Christie, and some draft capital to make the deal work. This could be an enticing offer for the Heat, especially given the circumstances surrounding this matter.

Butler is reportedly seeking a trade from Miami before the NBA’s trade deadline on Feb. 6, according to ESPN, though the team’s president said in December the Heat had no plans to trade the star player.

Two straight games of low rebounding numbers, single-digit points and limited shot attempts led to this exchange between Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press and Butler following the double-digit loss to Indiana.
