NBA Rumors: The type of player Miami Heat wants in exchange for Jimmy Butler

The Miami Heat is not interested in getting into long-term financial trouble. Amid all the controversy surrounding Jimmy Butler, the Florida franchise will trade its star player. But there is a condition.

The Heat does not want players with long-term contracts. They are interested in those who are in the last 1-2 years and can make an immediate impact. Miami aims to compete for the championship this season. This information was revealed by insider Jake Fischer from NBA Rumors on The Stein Line.

The reason Miami wants to make the playoffs this season is to transfer their first-round pick to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2025 NBA Draft. If that pick is not traded, it will roll over to the 2026 draft without protections.
