The Jimmy Butler trade rumors are heating up and his coach Erik Spoelstra and teammate Tyler Herro aren’t at all happy about it.

Shams reported, “The Heat are open to listening to offers for Butler and making a deal if the proposal is right, league sources told ESPN, and Butler’s agent, Bernie Lee, has indicated in league circles that Butler is open to destinations such as two of the Texas teams (Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks) and the Golden State Warriors. Butler is a native of Houston, Texas.”

But Heat coach Erik Spoelstra was quick to shut down the trade speculations surrounding the star forward.

“It’s been our best, most consistent stretch of the season,” Spoelstra said, per  “So anything else, any other narrative, I don’t care. Nobody should, because most of this stuff has just been all like a bunch of gibberish.”

An in-form Tyler Herro was also not keen to speak about the swirling rumors surrounding Himmy Buckets.

“I got to check my phone still this morning,” Herro said, per Winderman. “I don’t know what was said. The vibes felt good in here today, so I don’t know. I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

The Butler to the Rockets, Warriors and Mavs rumors are definitely not new, but the fact that the Heat are listening to offers for their star player is fresh and makes for a very interesting narrative heading the trade deadline in February.

With Golden State missing out on their targets Paul George and Lauri Markkanen over the summer, the franchise are clearly willing to splash some cash for a star.

As for the Rockets, they do have a whole lot of draft capital and cash to burn.

But since Butler is often injured, will teams be a little reluctant to sign him for his huge asking price?
