Celtics’ Smart fined $25K for obscene gesture

As Jimmy Butler closes in on a return to the Miami Heat from his suspension, trade rumors continue to swirl around him and his team. Butler reportedly still wants to go to the Phoenix Suns, but that continues to be a hard trade puzzle to piece together.

It was also recently reported that Butler’s camp has told the Milwaukee Bucks that he isn’t interested in being traded there. Other league sources have said that Butler hasn’t ruled out a deal to Milwaukee.

It was also reported that Butler’s representatives let the Memphis Grizzlies know that he doesn’t want to be traded there. To this point, no additional reporting has come out to counter that.
