Wolves focused on Heat in Butler talks

Jimmy Butler reportedly informed the Minnesota Timberwolves he would prefer to be dealt to the Miami Heat, and the Wolves appear to be doing their best to facilitate that request.

Minnesota has "remained focused" on Miami in its Butler trade talks, according to a report from ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The two sides have been consistently engaged in talks for several days, and the Heat pushed the Wolves for an answer on a revised offer on Wednesday, according to the report.

Wojnarowski added that no deal was expected to happen Wednesday night.
