After Klay Thompson’s departure, the Golden State Warriors are facing the prospect of trying to win a title without their iconic core. But when one star goes, it leaves room for the arrival of another, and the Warriors reportedly already have a replacement in mind: longtime veteran Jimmy Butler.<\/p>\n

\u201cJimmy Butler’s going to be a free agent next summer. Didn’t get an extension done. The Warriors have interest there and probably made a couple calls [to Miami] this summer,”\u00a0reported Sam Amick on\u00a0The TK Show.<\/p>\n

Butler, 34, is well-respected around the league for his professionalism, competitive spirit, and his admirable work ethic. The 6x All-Star completed stints with the Bulls, Timberwolves, and 76ers before making his way to the Miami Heat, where he’s been since 2019.<\/p>\n

Over five years with the\u00a0Heat, Butler is averaging 21.3 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 5.7 assists per game on 49.6% shooting. He’s led them to the NBA Finals twice and helped them advance to the Eastern Finals back in 2022.<\/p>\n

Publicly, Butler has been very vocal about this loyalty to the Heat and he’s\u00a0announced his intentions to retire with the franchise several times before. After achieving so much success together, Butler and the Heat are intertwined and many are convinced that the NBA swingman will retire in their uniform.<\/p>\n
