Per ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, the mercurial Jimmy Butler — a rumored Golden State Warriors trade target — has signaled to the Warriors that he is unwilling to sign a contract extension should he be traded to the Bay Area.
The Heat’s Jimmy Butler has communicated to the Warriors that he’s unwilling to sign an extension there & therefore trade talks to send him to Golden State have ended for now, sources told ESPN.
