The Golden State Warriors have consistently been linked with a potential trade for Jimmy Butler in recent weeks. However, since Butler handed in a trade request to the Miami Heat, the Warriors have been rumored to be pulling away.

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.

Despite speculation around Butler, the Warriors are more likely to target two other names on the trade market in Chicago and Brooklyn.
