But Lee has never been shy about speaking his mind on NBA news, so it\u2019s interesting that he didn\u2019t have any strong feelings to share about the Warriors reportedly being linked to his client.<\/p>\n<p>In case Lee\u2019s post didn\u2019t make it clear, Butler is celebrating his 35th birthday on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>The six-time All-Star will soon begin his 14th NBA season and sixth with the Heat. Last season, an injured Butler had to watch helplessly as Miami was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. He certainly has a different ending in mind this season.<\/p>\n<p>The Heat have enjoyed two trips to the NBA Finals during Butler\u2019s stint with the organization. The squad came within two wins of an NBA title in 2020 and within three wins in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Even if the 2024-25 campaign ends up being Butler\u2019s last with Miami, it\u2019s a safe bet that he\u2019s going to do everything in his power to finish the job this season and bring an NBA championship back to South Florida.<\/p>\n<p>Assuming he gets through the 2024-25 season without being traded, Butler will be able to turn his attention to his future once the 2025 offseason rolls around. The murky nature of his situation could lead to him being a\u00a0highly motivated player this season.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">&#8220;I&#8217;m told (Jimmy Butler) will not be signing an extension with the Heat or any other team ahead of his opt-out in 2025 free agency.&#8221;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ShamsCharania?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ShamsCharania<\/a>\u00a0gave us some updates on Butler&#8217;s future\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5jAREMuhbw\">pic.twitter.com\/5jAREMuhbw<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Stadium (@Stadium)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Stadium\/status\/1806112481326018794?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 26, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Heat will open their 2024-25 regular season next month with a home game against the\u00a0Orlando Magic\u00a0(Oct. 23).
