Jimmy Butler has blocked multiple trades that would’ve landed him on contending teams

Kevin Garnett on the Jimmy Butler situation - “This is how non-guarantees are going to come into our league"

The NBA would have a very long lockout if they want that at all cost....

If I'm the Heat I'm simply taking the best trade offer provided to me. If Jimmy doesn't like his new team then he can choose not to report and simply not get paid. The Heat don't owe him any favors now after the way he's acted recently.

This is a bit too simplistic. The team giving assets for Jimmy are going to want him to actually want to be there, which he most likely will not.

Every party is basically stuck in this situation which is why it’s been a standstill. I actually dig the Heat just not really doing anything with it. They can’t really trade him to where he wants to go, so **** it

In this scenario the team trading for Jimmy are calling his bluff that he won't report and willing to give up assets anyway. Jimmy has made a lot of money in his career but I'm sure he won't want to see millions lost if he chooses to sit out the season.

I don't think those teams are worried about him not reporting at all, they're worried that if he doesn't want to be there he'll report and be a malcontent and play but not put any actual effort into to it like he was doing in Miami before they suspended him indefinitely.
