Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat have been on thin ice since last season and growing NBA trade rumors are starting to take their toll.

Jimmy Butler didn't give a definitive answer when asked if he wanted to remain with the Miami Heat organization on Tuesday. "That's a good question,"

After ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania initially reported Butler's preference to be traded, Heat president Pat Riley made it clear that the team has no plans to execute a trade that moves Butler.
