It looks like the Golden State Warriors might prefer the $20 million player over Jimmy Butler, who is on the verge of a Miami Heat exit.

Jimmy Butler's efforts to force his way off the Miami Heat have proved fruitless thus far. But it's early days yet. It's been about a month since rumors first popped up that Butler wanted a trade and less than a week since he made it public before getting suspended for conduct detrimental to the team.

ESPN's Bobby Marks proposed a three-team trade that would see the Warriors acquire Jilly Butler for a haul of players and assets.
