Shams: Jimmy Butler's Heat Relationship 'Over' amid NBA Trade Rumors

After receiving his second multi-game suspension this month, Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler's relationship with his team reportedly has deteriorated completely.

During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on Thursday, ESPN's Shams Charania painted a bleak outlook on Butler's remaining connection to the Heat.

"This relationship is over with as far as where they're at, I don't think you're gonna put the genie back in the bottle," Charania said (1:30 mark).

Butler requested to be traded from Miami and Charania reported earlier this week that he's "tripled down" on his request. However, he found himself in hot water over his choice to not travel with the team to Milwaukee for Thursday's game against the Bucks, which caused the Heat to suspend him for two games. It was just a few weeks ago that the team suspended him for seven games for "multiple instances of conduct detrimental to the team over the course of the season."

Charania noted on Thursday that this isn't the first time Butler chose not to travel with the Heat, and he informed the team of his decision to go to Milwaukee separately. Still, Miami's choice to suspend him indicated that there's a "no tolerance policy" concerning his antics.

Butler's exit from Miami appears imminent, but it's hard to imagine that many teams are motivated to trade for him after seeing how things have been playing out between him and the Heat.
