According to reports from an NBA analyst and insider for ‘The Athletic’ John Hollinger, Jimmy Butler, a prominent member of the Miami Heat for the past five seasons, may be leaving the team in the near future. The reports suggest that rumors about Butler’s departure from Miami are growing and that the player is hoping to obtain a $113 million two-year deal when his current contract ends in two years.
Despite Butler’s value to the team and his contributions to Miami’s success, there are concerns that his pursuit of a max contract may put at risk his friendly connection with the Heat. While Miami has yet to express interest in extending Butler’s contract or announce any plans to move him, opposing viewpoints may force the team to let him go.
