This Heat-Nuggets blockbuster trade features Jimmy Butler to Denver

The Miami Heat are off to a mediocre start to the NBA season after making a run to the NBA Finals. This means that we can see the front office decide to make some surprising moves. The Denver Nuggets could be in the market for one of their big-name players if they are available.

Jimmy Butler could be that player. He knows a thing or two about being traded in his career as he has played for many teams like the Philadelphia 76ers and Minnesota Timberwolves for a short period of time. He missed time this season but has returned to line up.

The Miami Heat have been extremely inconsistent this year, which is surprising from a team that was expected to contend for a title. If Jimmy Butler is dealt, it would land them a big return.

Denver made a run to the Western Conference Finals a year ago. This proved that they are win-now team and a move like this would show fans that the front office is going for it.

The duo of Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic could use another member to create a big three. Butler could be that member. If the Nuggets are interested in winning now, a deal like this could be in the cards.

Let’s take a look at what it might take to land Jimmy Butler with the Denver Nuggets in a NBA trade deadline scenario.
