Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler is reported to want a trade. The NBA trade market is expected to fluctuate greatly.
U.S. sports media ESPN reported on the 26th that Miami's Butler wants to join the winning competition team through a trade.
The deadline for trade in the NBA is February 7 next year. According to ESPN, Butler has yet to officially request a trade. However, he informed each team that he will give up the option for the 2025-2026 season and come to the free agent market after this season. 메이저사이트
Butler has received a lot of attention from various teams over the past two weeks. Butler currently has the Phoenix Suns, the Golden State Warriors, the Dallas Mavericks, and the Houston Rockets as candidates for his next destination. When Butler joins the team, they will instantly boost their power and become a team that can challenge for the championship.
However, if Butler attempts to leave Miami through a trade, the club needs cooperation. While checking on Butler in the first half of the year, the Miami Marlins are not rushing to set up a negotiation table. The team will likely make a final decision on whether to renew the contract with Butler at the end of the season. Miami is currently ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference with 14 wins and 13 losses.
Butler and Miami did not sign an extension contract ahead of this season. Butler will be paid 49 million U.S. dollars this year, with an option of 52 million dollars next year. Ahead of the season, Miami signed a three-year, 160-million-dollar extension contract with key big man Bam Adebayo.
Butler, one of the NBA's leading stars, has an average of 18.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 4.9 assists this season. He has not played since injuring his left ankle against the Oklahoma City Thunder on the 21st.
In particular, he has extensive experience in spring basketball, as he played in 12 of the 13 seasons in the playoffs. Among them, he reached the NBA Finals twice in Miami and was also named an NBA All-Star six times.
