Yahoo Sports Bill Simmons: The Jimmy Butler trade is going to happen this week
News keeps happening about Jimmy Butler requesting a trade from the Miami Heat. The newest addition to the crew is Bill Simmons, who said something interesting on his podcast. He explained that Butler could be traded relatively soon and to an unexpected team. âThe Butler trade is going to happen this week,â Simmons said. âI was telling you about Houston and then Houston beat the Lakers tonight. It was a good game, it was tight. I said their January is about to get hard because I think there is a chance that San Antonio can make the playoffs. âAnd House and I talked about it on Thursday, and now theyâre +350 (odds to trade Butler to the Spurs). Itâs right around where we talked about. They donât have the odds for Houston, but San Antonio would have to jump the Lakers or Houston basically. The thinking is Wemby is now a Top 7 guy and maybe they make a trade. So we were looking at that for future odds.â

However, there could still be a chance that âJimmy Buckets' ends up donning the familiar black, red, and yellow once more. The six-time All-Star shared workout videos and photos from the Heatâs weight room at Kaseya Center. Here's where it gets intriguingâJimmy Butler wasnât alone in his training session. He had a team with him. Assistant coach Octavio De La Grana, player development coach Remy Ndiaye, and athletic trainer Armando Rivas all remained in Miami to work alongside him. -via Clutch Points / January 7, 2025
