Will the Miami Heat really give Jimmy Butler a max extension?
are going to have to make a decision about the future of the franchise. Extend Butler or prepare for the next phase, whatever that may be.
But again, that hasn't mattered because he would show up when the games really mattered. He was"Playoff Jimmy" and he helped Miami reach the NBA Finals twice in his first four seasons with the franchise. This year, with him unvailable during the regular season the Heat finished with the 8th best record in the Eastern Conference for the second straight year. Instead of making a miraculous run to the Finals, they were eliminated in five games by a hated rival.
While Butler and the Heat have until next summer to work out that deal it doesn't sound like Butler wants to wait. According to the,"Butler and his camp will push for that extension before the start of the upcoming season. Choosing not to offer this exact extension this offseason could lead to a disgruntled Butler."
It would be pretty interesting to see Butler and Pat Riley have a staring contest because what other franchise would want an expensive, aging star who rarely plays? I mean, besides the teams that already have one or two of their own. And how much is another team willing to give up in a deal for Butler?
