Could the Timberwolves be involved in a Jimmy Butler trade? It's a possibility, according to NBA insider Marc Stein. But the key thing to note is that if it happens, Minnesota wouldn't be the team landing Butler, who has requested to be traded by the Miami Heat ahead of the Feb. 6 deadline.

The Miami Heat and Jimmy Butler still don't seem to be on the same page, even with him returning from his seven-game suspension.

As reported by Evan Sidery, the Hornets are open to helping facilitate trades ahead of the deadline to gain future draft capital. Charlotte is keeping the same strategy from the offseason as they hope to earn a top pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
