Jimmy Butler returned from suspension to play for the Miami Heat on Friday night. But Butler still wants the Heat to trade him.

As the Heat continues to listen to offers in order to try to fulfill Butler’s trade request, the NBA’s Feb. 6 trade deadline looms.

Butler met with Heat president Pat Riley last week, and then met with Heat owner Micky Arison and chief executive officer Nick Arison on Thursday, according to league sources. Through it all, Butler has remained adamant about his desire to be traded.

Will the Heat be able to find a trade to send Butler elsewhere before next month’s deadline? Vote in the poll below to let us know your thoughts.
