Heading into the 2024-25 campaign, Heat forward Jimmy Butler was coming off year where he missed the entirety of the playoffs after Miami qualified via the play-in tournament. With one final guaranteed year on his contract, team president Pat Riley made it clear this summer an extension for Butler would largely center around his availability.
Although Butler still has plenty of time before deciding whether or not to decline his player option, he's found his name in trade rumors. Earlier this week, ESPN's Shams Charania reported Miami is open to listening to offers on Butler but the stars would have to align on any deal given Miami's recent surge.
On the flip side, Butler is reportedly interested in going to Houston, Dallas or Golden State if a deal were to materialize.
