The post National Reporter Confirms Stephen Curry’s Deliberate Front Office Move as Zach LaVine & Jimmy Butler Trade Ideas Explored appeared first on EssentiallySports.

Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra gave Tyler Herro his flowers and made a comparison for him without saying the player's name.

As Tyler Herro continues to impress, Heat teammate Bam Adebayo compares him to Stephen Curry.

The Golden State Warriors could acquire a Miami Heat phenom by parting with a promising wing dealing with a significant injury.

Golden State has a wealth of tradeable assets. As such, they're well-positioned to get involved in any potential trade for a star-level player. According to ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk, that's why the Warriors veteran trio would rather the front office remain patient rather than jump into negotiations for an aging star like Jimmy Butler.

The latest NBA rumors involve the Bucks' attempts to gain flexibility, the Warriors' trade deadline goals, and the Suns' diminishing chances at Jimmy Butler.

The Heat’s top candidate for the Feb. 16 All-Star Game, which will take place at Chase Center in San Francisco, is guard Tyler Herro. Heat center Bam Adebayo and forward Jimmy Butler (despite currently serving his second team suspension this month and pushing for a trade out of Miami) have also received All-Star consideration this season.

The NBA trade deadline is not until Feb. 6, but the buzz around notable players and teams is building up. Keep an eye on players such as Jimmy Butler, Zion Williamson and Zach LaVine, who'll be linked to possible trades. One team to watch is the Phoenix Suns, who have stayed busy in January, making two trades while remaining in the mix for Butler.

The Sixers have a veteran-laden roster full of players who should theoretically be of interest to contending teams. There are five Sixers who may be the most likely to generate trade calls from those buyers, but their markets -- both in terms of salary and draft compensation -- will vary quite a bit.

The Suns look like they will be a play-in team when the regular season ends. But one more trade could be on the horizon.

The NBA Trade Deadline is rapidly approaching and insider Matt Moore shares what he's hearing on the Bucks, Raptors, Nets and more.
