The funniest part about this whole Jimmy Butler saga is that I’m not sure the Heat can even trade him. Nobody wants him

He’s on an expiring contract…I guess he has a player option

I didn’t realize he said he would decline his player option. I figured he was locked in through ‘26.

Probably. He won't decline it if he can't get comparable money I'd bet. Might be hard to find a team to give him more.

Teams a bit desperate with aging stars…it’s why he wants suns/warriors

Problem with that is the new salary cap rule are very prohibitive for those teams and they have very few draft picks.

But not prohibitive if he’s already on the team…that’s why he wants traded now

That's my point. It's very difficult for teams like the Suns to trade for him. Beal also has a no trade clause IIRC.

Ya they won’t want him. I don’t think he’ll end up in Phoenix

He'll decline it in Miami, but would probably pick it up somewhere else.
