Shaq got into it with his TNT colleagues over the Butler situation as the Heat star serves his second suspension of the month.

The Jimmy Butler trade saga is starting to heat up as the Feb. 6 trade deadline draws near. The veteran forward was recently handed an indefinite suspension by the Miami Heat, which could ease the way to him being traded in the coming days.

The Lakers' players would love to see a trade that bolsters the roster, but they acknowledge that most moves are complex and expensive.

The Los Angeles Lakers are fifth in the Western Conference, but if they go after a reported trade target, they could have more than enough size to tackle the Denver Nuggets.
