Per ESPN, he previously indicated that he wouldn’t sign an extension with the Memphis Grizzlies when they inquired about a trade. Those talks subsequently fizzled, as have trade discussions with the Warriors — at least for now, according to the report.

Butler is trying to steer a trade toward the Phoenix Suns, with whom he has said he would sign a long-term extension. The Suns reportedly have been trying to put together a multi-team deal to land Butler.

Butler, 35, has a $52 million player option for next season, and it is expected he will decline it and become a free agent if he doesn’t wind up in Phoenix.
