The Golden State Warriors are reportedly interested in acquiring Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler, who will be a free agent next summer after failing to secure a contract extension this offseason. NBA insider Sam Amick revealed that the Warriors made 'a couple calls' to Miami regarding Butler's availability, highlighting their need for a secondary scoring option as they prepare for the upcoming season. Butler, set to earn $48.8 million this season with a $52.4 million player option for 2025-26, is coming off a season where he missed the playoffs due to injury. The Warriors have cleared salary space through recent departures, positioning themselves to potentially construct a trade package for Butler. Although Heat president Pat Riley shows no interest in trading Butler, the Warriors could still pursue this opportunity as they aim to maintain their championship window with veteran stars like Stephen Curry. The trade deadline may be pivotal for the Warriors if they seek to finalize a deal for Butler before he hits free agency.
