Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler is entering his 14th NBA season. Butler has spent the last five seasons of his career in Miami, making two All-Star teams and winning two Eastern Conference championships.
There have been no indications from Miami or Butler that they are looking to move on from their five-year partnership, but the six-time NBA All-Star can become a free agent after this season. Drawing some attention to this on an episode of The TK Show, Sam Amick of The Athletic said the Golden State Warriors are a team interested in Butler.
Via Amick: “You need the wheels to fall off somewhere. Like you said, not free agency-wise, talking trade-wise. A couple guys who come to mind, Jimmy Butler is going to be a free agent next summer. Didn’t get an extension done. The Warriors, as you know, have interest there and I think probably made a couple calls during the summer. That name comes to mind.”
Butler made an Instagram post on Thursday that included seven photos/videos from what looks like an offseason vacation.
Via Butler: “I’m the captain now”
Butler’s post has over 220 comments, many of which have come from Warriors fans.
Via iammbackdanger: “come to @warriors pls”
Via marvenmich: “Future Warrior🫡💙💛”
Via rebelpcustoms: “Come to Golden State we love you!!!”
Via ligaorve: “Gsw baby!!”
Via catitabetty: “Livin his best life b4 going to the warriors”
Needless to say, many Warriors fans want to see Butler come to Golden State and play alongside Steph Curry.
