NBA rumors link Julius Randle to a potential Jimmy Butler trade involving the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Miami Heat.

No matter how badly the Phoenix Suns may want Jimmy Butler, there just doesn't seem to be a viable way for them to get him. Nobody wants the Bradley Beal contract. Even if someone did, Beal himself doesn't seem eager to drop his no-trade clause to help the Suns dump him.

The Jimmy Butler-Heat saga got more interesting. Timberwolves forward Julius Randle is on Miami’s radar and has been since the offseason, SNY’s Ian Begley reported Tuesday. The Knicks parted ways with Randle before the season started in a trade that brought Karl Anthony-Towns to New York.
