Miami’s president Pat Riley has stated that there are no plans to trade Jimmy Butler this summer, despite speculation from other executives. During a media session, Riley emphasized the importance of making a commitment to players who will be available consistently, as the Heat faced challenges with injuries last season.
Riley highlighted the need for players on the court and advised Butler to focus on playing rather than making critical comments about other teams after his comments at the F1 Grand Prix in Miami. Despite this, Butler’s potential contract extension remains a factor to watch as he is likely to ask for a max extension worth around $113 million. However, Miami is hesitant to commit due to his age and injury history.
There have been concerns that Butler has a history of making contract issues uncomfortable for the team when he is unhappy. If he does not receive the contract he desires, it could create further tension and uncertainty within the team. Ultimately, Miami faces important decisions regarding Butler’s future with the team and how they plan to handle his contract situation.
