Pat Riley said he isn't sure what the Miami Heat will do regarding Jimmy Butler's two-year extension.
Pat Riley discusses Jimmy Butler's assertion that if he were healthy the Heat would have beaten the Celtics and Knicks. Butler is almost certainly going to ask the Heat for a two-year extension this summer -- it could guarantee him as much as $113 million for the 2025-26 and 2026-27 seasons -- and Riley said Monday in his annual end-of-season remarks that he isn't sure what the team will do when that moment arrives.
"That's a big decision on our part to commit those kinds of resources unless you have somebody who's going to be there and available every single night," Riley said."That's the truth." But he also didn't shy away from doling out criticism. Butler, speaking this past weekend at a Formula 1 race in Miami Gardens, said"if I was playing, Boston would be at home, New York damn sure would ... be at home."
