Golden State has rotation players on expiring contracts, which Miami is reported to covet in any Butler trade, in Gary Payton II, Dennis Schroder and Kevon Looney. The Warriors also have their own first-round picks each year through 2031, though they will likely strive to protect those in any short-term deal.

Here is a look at four teams in the running for Jimmy Butler, how a deal with each could happen and what obstacles are in the way.

The NBA trade deadline is Feb. 6 and the buzz around notable players and teams is building. Keep an eye on players such as Jimmy Butler, Cameron Johnson and Zach LaVine, who'll be linked to possible trades. Another star who has emerged in trade talks is Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox.

Two more NBA stars were reportedly on the move Sunday night as the San Antonio Spurs, Sacramento Kings and Chicago Bulls struck a three-team deal.
