Miami Heat players Tyler Herro and Kevin Love were told of Jimmy Butler trade by a fan during game against Philadelphia 76ers

If the Miami Heat plan to wash their hands with Jimmy Butler, they must do so before the upcoming Feb. 6 trade deadline. Swapping their disgruntled superstar for a thriving Denver Nuggets wing may be the most logical move for the franchise.

Johnson called it an "awesome trade" for the Heat, who pried away Andrew Wiggins and a first-round draft pick from the Warriors. Just as important, they rid themselves of a player in Butler who had been suspended three times in recent weeks for conduct detrimental to the team after demanding a trade from Heat president Pat Riley.
