The Heat are “cautiously optimistic” about the possibility of making a
Jimmy Butler trade before the February 6 deadline, according to Barry Jackson
and Anthony Chiang of The Miami Herald, who report that Miami has been
engaging “several” teams besides the Suns.
热火对于能够在2/6交易大限完成Butler的交易保持谨慎乐观的态度，根据Barry Jackson
以及Anthony Chiang来自迈阿密先锋报的消息，热火正在与太阳以外的多支球队进行交易
讨论
While Phoenix has long been viewed as Butler’s preferred landing spot and
the team most willing to give the 35-year-old the maximum-salary contract he’
s seeking, the Suns haven’t had much luck finding a trade structure that
works, per The Herald.
虽然太阳长期以来都被视为Butler的交易首选，而且球队愿意支付Butler顶薪续约
，但太阳在寻找合适的交易架构上并没有取得太多的进展
Bradley Beal would have to be sent to a third team in order for the Suns to
acquire Butler, since Phoenix can’t aggregate contracts and Miami isn’t
interested in the veteran guard, who has two more years and nearly $111MM
left on his contract after this season.
Beal必须要在Butler的交易案中被送去第三队，因为太阳不能合并合约交易且热火对
Beal，这位本季结束后还有2年111M的球员没兴趣
Finding a taker for Beal has been a challenge, especially since he has the
ability to veto any deal using his no-trade clause. While Beal is reportedly
open to waiving that clause to join a contending team, ideally one in a
warm-weather city, he also seems to be comfortable with the idea of remaining
in Phoenix, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.
替Beal寻找下一站是个挑战，特别是他有霸王条款可以否决任何交易，虽然Beal愿意放弃
他的交易否决权以加入一支具有争冠实力的球队，且最好是位于温暖气候城市的球队，
但根据Michael Scotto 的报导，Beal对于留在凤凰城似乎也感到很舒适
Appearing on ESPN (Twitter video links), NBA insider Brian Windhorst backed
up the notion that the Heat are talking to teams besides the Suns about
Butler and said Miami is “really, really trying to make this happen,”
adding that the team’s asking price on Butler has dropped a little from
where it was earlier in the month.
根据ESPN的记者Brian Windhorst的报导，热火确实有在跟太阳以外的球队谈Butler的
交易而且"非常非常努力想让达成交易"，而且球队对Butler的要价相比上个月以来有所
下降
“Obviously, the Phoenix Suns have tried to get this done for weeks,”
Windhorst said. “They have tried three-, four-, five-team machinations. They
have not been able to overcome the fact that what they’ve really got to
trade is Bradley Beal, who has a no-trade clause and not a very big market.
So now I do believe this is going to bring in some other teams. We could see
some surprising moves in this little battle in the next couple of days.
“… I am not saying for sure this is going to happen. I’m not predicting
what’s going to happen. But I do think some teams that thought they were out
of this are coming back in because it doesn’t look like the Suns and Heat
are going to be able to consummate a deal. I think we might see a team swoop
in here and get Jimmy Butler at a cheap price. A guy who can be the best
player in a playoff series at a bargain price.”
"很显然，太阳过去几周已经努力尝试完成交易，他们尝试了，3-4-5队的交易提案，但
他们没办法解决的问题是要交易的对象是Bradley Beal，有交易否决权且在他的交易市场
并不大。所以现在我想可能会有其他球队跳出来，我们可能会在未来几天看到有一些让人
意外的动作"
"我不是说交易一定会发生，我不是尝试预言接下来会发生什么，但我的确认为原本退出
交易的球队可能会重新加入，因为看起来太阳和热火无法完成交易，或许会有一支球队以
较低的代价拿走Jimmy Butler，用特价拿走一名能在季后赛系列赛中成为最佳球员的家伙
"
Since word of Butler’s desire to be traded first broke last month, reports
have indicated that the Heat are willing to hang onto the six-time All-Star
through this season and revisit trade talks in the summer if they don’t get
the sort of return they want by February 6. The club is said to be
prioritizing win-now players with contracts that don’t extend beyond 2025/26.
在上个月Butler喊卖我后，如果不能在交易大限前拿回他们要的回报，热火本来愿意将
这名6届全明星留到暑假再继续谈，而热火要的是现在可以帮助赢球的球员以及不会超过
26赛季的合约
However, with the standoff between the two sides continuing to escalate, it
appears increasingly untenable for Butler to remain on the roster for several
more months, which is why the front office is more motivated than ever to
find a viable deal.
然而随着双方越闹越僵，Butler继续待在热火几个月这种做法越来越不可行，所以管理层
比以往都还积极寻找可行的交易
As Jackson and Chiang point out, while Butler’s camp has long conveyed that
he intends to decline his 2025/26 player option in favor of free agency, the
veteran forward could make life difficult on the Heat by picking up that
option in June and essentially putting Miami back in the same situation it’s
in now — with a disgruntled star on a maximum-salary deal, hamstringing the
team’s ability to improve the roster around him.
另外尽管Butler的团队表示他计划在25-26赛季拒绝球员选项并进入自由市场，但若Butler
在6月执行他的选项，将使热火陷入跟目前相同的困境，一个对球队不满且拿顶薪的明星球
员，同时缺少改善阵容的灵活性
Additionally, while the Heat are theoretically saving some money as a result
of Butler’s suspensions, team-imposed suspensions don’t affect a team’s
tax bill, and based on existing precedents, it’s possible Butler will regain
a chunk of his lost salary through the appeal process. In other words, the
financial incentive to continue suspending him is minimal.
另外虽然热火可以靠禁赛他省下一点钱，但这对球队的豪华税毫无影响，Butler预计会透
过上诉拿回他被罚的部分薪水，换言之用禁赛拿走他的钱刺激他应该没啥用
Neither Windhorst nor the duo of Jackson and Chiang named specific teams
outside of Phoenix that might be exploring a deal for Butler. Previous
reporting has indicated that the Grizzlies have kicked the tires on the
possibility, despite being warned against it, while Marc Stein said on Monday
that rival clubs continue to wonder if the Bucks will get involved.
目前的消息都还没提到除太阳以外，哪些球队可能对Butler有兴趣，先前有消息指出灰熊
有兴趣-即使有其他消息提出了警告
(就Butler不想去灰熊)
而Marc Stein在周一表示，联盟内的其他球队仍在观望公鹿会不会参加Butler的交易案。
应该是不会再拖了，大概下周交易大限前就确定会送走了
因为热火自己也从本来想拖延，变成稍微感觉到不能再拖下去了
目前是稍微对要价让步增加其他球队的兴趣，也可能有利交易的扩展
搞不好最后出手的会是让人意想不到的球队也说不定
然后太阳就老问题，搞不定Beal就没得谈
