Eccentric and colorful, Jimmy Butler has a lasting place in Heat lore, albeit with the big goal unfinished. Miami hasn't won a title during his time there.

MIAMI — The Miami Heat in its Jimmy Butler era has been consistently good enough to tease and tantalize but not good enough to turn the hope into celebration. So it is again now, just past the quarter mark of his sixth NBA season in South Florida, with a team 12-10 after three impressive straight wins.

Butler’s five-plus seasons in Miami have been an on-balance success if you’re a bottom-liner. Two NBA Finals and an Eastern Conference final series have seen the Heat as legit contenders in three of five seasons. And Butler already has risen to fifth all-time in club win shares, after only Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Alonzo Mourning and current teammate Bam Adebayo.

ESPN’s NBA insider Shams Charania reported Tuesday Miami is “open” to offers for Butler and that the player cites Houston , Dallas and Golden State as preferred destinations. There has been speculation involving Denver and the L.A. Lakers, too. He reportedly wants a win-now team, an acknowledgment he doesn’t think Miami is one.

But I know this: Houston, Dallas and Golden State among them have a combined 10 tradeable first-round draft picks to dangle in a deal for Butler. Each has young players good enough to be a part of Heat plans moving forward. No team will give up a comparable star for Butler, but a package of players and picks, yes.
