Shaquille O'Neal is one Miami Heat legend who knows what it feels like to end his spell in South Beach on bad terms. And history seems to be repeating itself.

Golden State has long been rumored to be on the search for a star player on the trade market, and one player who fits that bill to a tee is Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler, who has made no secrets about his desire to take his talents away from South Beach.

Even though Jimmy Butler returned to the Miami Heat, that doesn't mean the trade drama is over with the superstar. It's already been widely reported that Butler still wants a trade from the Heat, but what remains to be seen is how it happens.

The Golden State Warriors may not be active in the trade market for an All-Star this season in hopes of getting a superstar next summer. Players like Miami Heat six-time All-Star Jimmy Butler are out there for the Warriors to pursue.

Golden State could get a deal done for an intriguing roster fit. But will the Warriors have the appetite for this move?

ESPN's Kevin Pelton and Bobby Marks proposed a Golden State Warriors trade with the Miami Heat for disgruntled star Jimmy Butler.

The Heat’s top candidate for the Feb. 16 All-Star Game, which will take place at Chase Center in San Francisco, is guard Tyler Herro. Heat center Bam Adebayo and forward Jimmy Butler (despite currently serving his second team suspension this month and pushing for a trade out of Miami) have also received All-Star consideration this season.

The NBA trade deadline is not until Feb. 6, but the buzz around notable players and teams is building up. Keep an eye on players such as Jimmy Butler, Zion Williamson 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.

The Chicago Bulls might be zeroing in on a destination for center Nikola Vučević. The Golden State Warriors have emerged as a potential suitor for Vučević ahead of the Feb. 6 trade deadline, according to an ESPN report.

If the Heat keeps Butler past Feb. 6 and he opts out, Miami could either use a $14 million midlevel exception and a $5.1 million bi-annual exception or use about $13 million in cap space (which swells to $23 million if Robinson is released early this summer).

Heat forward Jimmy Butler will reportedly be suspended 2 games for missing the team plane after previously being sanctioned for 7 earlier this month.
