The Miami Heat are open to listening to trade offers for star wing Jimmy Butler. The Heat have been stuck in Play-In Tournament range and have been unable to find common ground with Butler on an extension.
Butler has let it be known that he’d prefer to be traded to the Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets or Golden State. The first two teams play in his home state of Texas, and all three are contenders. That’s crucial for Butler, who prefers to play for a win-now team.
The veteran wing makes $48.8 million this season. Butler holds a player option for $52.4 million for the 2025-26 season. The 35-year-old could opt out of his contract and sign an extension with a new team following a trade. Butler could also opt in and extend this summer, as well as opting out and going to free agency in July.
