The Miami Heat are reportedly willing to trade Jimmy Butler as they look to build around younger stars Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro.
The Heat are willing to listen to trade offers for Jimmy Butler , according to a report. Butler, 35, is on a contract worth $49 million this year with a $52 million player option for next year. Potential suitors have been informed that Butler intends to decline that option in order to become a free agent. Multiple teams have reportedly already reached out to the Heat, and Butler is open to the Suns, Warriors, Mavericks and Rockets among others.
The Heat gave Bam Adebayo, 27, a three-year, $166 million extension last offseason — while the team and Butler failed to reach an agreement on an extension. Miami also has 24-year-old Tyler Herro, who is enjoying a career year, in the midst of a four-year, $120 million deal. It appears the Heat prefer to move forward building around the pair of younger stars rather than Butler. Butler has led the Heat to the playoffs each of the last five years, including two NBA finals berths and an Eastern Conference finals appearance
