Rumors are circulating that Jimmy Butler’s tenure with the Miami Heat might be uncertain, according to John Hollinger. Despite being extension-eligible, his performance declined this season and frequent absences have raised concerns.
Additionally, the Heat’s emphasis on Bam Adebayo as the torchbearer of Heat Culture, with less mention of Butler, adds to the speculation.
“Jimmy Butler is extension-eligible, but between his declining play this season and the constant absences, there are increasingly loud whispers that his future might not be in Miami.
“The Heat openly talking about Bam Adebayo as the keeper of the Heat Culture flame and not mentioning Butler as much is another notable point.”
