The NBA trade deadline is in eight days and Jimmy Butler is still a member of the Miami Heat.Despite multiple team-imposed suspensions (including a current indefinite one), the six-time All-Star appears to be no closer to finding a new home.

The Suns may feel like acquiring Butler is the only way to fix their broken roster. But they’d only be buying a big headache.

If the Heat keeps Butler past Feb. 6 and he opts out, Miami could either use a $14 million midlevel exception and a $5.1 million bi-annual exception or use about $13 million in cap space (which swells to $23 million if Robinson is released early this summer).
