NBA Rumors: Golden State Warriors would be interested in hiring Jimmy Butler. After failing to secure the services of Paul George or Lauri Markkanen, they would now go after the Miami Heat star whose contract expires next season.
Analyst Sam Amick has been the one to break the news, stating that "he would have made some calls" and that the key is that the player has not signed an extension with the Heat.
"You need the wheels to fall somewhere," Amick said about Golden State's need for a star player to be available through a trade. "As you said, not in free agency, but on the market. A couple of guys come to mind, Jimmy Butler is going to be a free agent next summer. He didn't secure an extension. The Warriors, as you know, are interested in him and I think they probably made a couple of calls during the summer. That name comes to mind."
Jimmy has a player option for the 2025/26 season worth 52.4 million dollars, so he could be a free agent next summer.
