Deal specifics are not yet known but the Wolves and Heat, I'm told, have been discussing a trade without the involvement of a third team https://t.co/QAzJmk9tKo

As @NYTSports reported last week, Wolves ownership has been notified that Miami is Jimmy Butler's preferred destination, which is significant given that Butler becomes a free agent July 1 https://t.co/nid1sI613K

The Heat and Wolves have been reportedly going back and forth on a possible deal for the past couple weeks and it seems that the two teams are getting close.
The one thing holding the deal back is likely the reluctance of Wolves head coach Tom Thibodeau, who reportedly is trying to get more out of the deal than the Heat are willing to part with.
It was last reported that the Heat were making both Hassan Whiteside and Goran Dragic available in a possible trade, while Dion Waiters, Tyler Johnson, and Justise Winslow have also been mentioned in trade rumors.
