Does Jimmy Butler’s Miami Heat situation mirror the Damian Lillard situation while he was on the trade market from the Portland Trail Blazers?

In an intriguing three-time trade, the Heat could compensate for Butler’s departure by landing a declining Milwaukee Bucks star and NBA champion. “First thing's first: credit for this creative deal construction goes to ESPN's Bobby Marks,” CBS Sports’ Sam Quinn wrote Friday.

Two straight games of low rebounding numbers, single-digit points and limited shot attempts led to this exchange between Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press and Butler following the double-digit loss to Indiana.
