It seems like Jimmy Butler is leaning into the recent NBA trade rumors in a big way.
We’re still a few months away from the NBA trade deadline, but recent rumors — stemming from insider John Gambadoro — have linked Butler to the Phoenix Suns. Butler has been part of the Miami Heat for the last six seasons, but the rumor mill has been swirling around the 35-year-old for some time now.
And on Thursday, Butler fanned the flames of the recent rumors by posting pictures of his new orange (!!!) hair to his Instagram story ahead of the Heat’s game against the Toronto Raptors.

Of course, this is Jimmy Butler we’re talking about, so this very much seems like a deliberate troll based on the latest chatter. Plus, this isn’t the first time Butler has changed his hair based on the rumor mill. Add it to the list!
