And rightfully so. The Warriors are a huge market organization with assets needed to acquire and extend the six-time All-Star. The lone issue is the Warriors’ assets are youthful, something Heat team president Pat Riley is seemingly against. If that’s the case, a third team may need to help facilitate the deal.

This is why Sam Mitchell, a former NBA Coach of the Year, proposed the Heat land Sacramento Kings guard De’Aaron Fox in a three-team blockbuster.

“If you’re the Miami Heat and Pat Riley, do you want to deal with Jimmy Butler at $52 million, who is going to be an unrestricted free agent?” Mitchell questioned on NBA TV. “No, that would be a nightmare scenario, so to me, I think he’s going to get moved, and now that things have been happening in Sacramento, Mike Brown, don’t be surprised. I smell a Fox in Miami.”

“I see a three-team deal with the Warriors,” Steve Smith said, to which Mitchell agreed.

In this hypothetical trade, the Warriors land Butler, the Heat acquire Fox, and the Kings enter a rebuild with a plethora of assets from Miami.
