However, as a forest-fire level of proposed trade talks and alleged demands, which led to Butler's agent reprimanding ESPN's Shams Charania via social media, the "Godfather" of the NBA, Heat's president Pat Riley provided his no-nonsense response to the rumors.

The Golden State Warriors won't be able to trade for Jimmy Butler after all, as Miami Heat President Pat Riley said the forward won't be getting traded.

With Jimmy Butler expected to test free agency in 2025, the Miami Heat may not have much leverage in trades involving the superstar wing ahead of the February 6 deadline. As such, the Warriors — among the teams Butler is said to be interested in — may not have to part with a ton of assets to land him.
