Butler\u2019s defensive toughness and skill set are what the Warriors need to get back into title contention after losing\u00a0Klay Thompson and the decline of Wiggins\u2019 play.<\/p>\n<p>While Kuminga showed plenty of promise last season, he\u2019s still young for the Warriors to rely on as Curry\u2019s co-star, especially in pressure-packed situations.<\/p>\n<p>Butler is no stranger to that as he is known for raising his game when the pressure is high. He\u2019s not called \u201cPlayoff Jimmy\u201d for nothing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Warriors almost certainly need more raw talent to get back to the title contenders\u2019 tier, \u201d Bailey wrote. \u201cAnd the potential one-two punch from Curry and his unparalleled outside shooting and Butler\u2019s inside-the-arc scoring is easy to imagine.<\/p>\n<div class=\"intersectionObserverRefElement\">\n<p class=\"\">A defense led by Butler and Draymond Green could cause plenty of heartache for opponents, too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For the Heat, acquiring Kuminga in this trade scenario to run with Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo still makes them a relevant team in the weaker Eastern Conference while the Warriors\u2019 draft capital set them up for the future.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"intersectionObserverRefElement\">\n<h2>Jimmy Butler\u2019s Time in Miami Is Ticking<\/h2>\n<p>Butler\u2019s future in Miami has been clouded with uncertainty ever since Heat president Pat Riley put him on notice by not extending him this summer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t have to do that for a year,\u201d\u00a0Riley said\u00a0about Butler\u2019s extension while speaking to reporters during his exit interview on May 6. \u201cAnd so, we have not discussed that internally right now, but we have to look at that, making that kind of commitment.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"intersectionObserverRefElement\">\n<p class=\"\">Butler has a $52 million player option for the 2025-26 season, which he could decline to sign a new long-term deal.<\/p>\n<p>According to\u00a0Anthony Chiang\u00a0of the Miami Herald, Butler was seeking a new two-year extension worth $113 million.<\/p>\n<p>Riley said he wants to see overall changes from Butler before committing a large extension with the Heat star going into his late 30s.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to go through the litany of factors right now because they all blow up into different hypotheticals, but yeah, that\u2019s a big decision on our part, to commit that kind of resources unless you have somebody who\u2019s really going to be there available every single night,\u201d Riley said. \u201cThat\u2019s the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Warriors Seek to Maximize Steph Curry\u2019s Window<\/h2>\n<p>Warriors owner Joe Lacob has openly said they have been active in pursuing trades to surround Curry with the talent necessary to compete for more titles.<\/p>\n<p>While their efforts have yet to lead to a star trade, Lacob does not believe they have been wasting Curry\u2019s remaining years in his prime.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI gotta be honest I don\u2019t really think of it that way,\u201d Lacob said\u00a0Lacob said on the \u201cTK Show\u201d podcast on July 26. \u201cIt matters to me every bit as much as it matters to our fans, for Steph.
