After being traded to the Warriors, Jimmy Butler coincidentally will make his debut with another team that traded him.

Depending on how you process any recent Heat news, that latter point feels correct, given some of Butler’s relationships with players on Miami’s roster. That is especially true of younger contributors who have grown to see Butler as a mentor no matter his team-related drama or level of candor.

The Suns may feel like acquiring Butler is the only way to fix their broken roster. But they’d only be buying a big headache.
