The Miami Heat reportedly don't have "urgency" to deal Jimmy Butler, who can decline his $52.4 million player option for 2025-26 and become a free agent over the summer.

"This is exactly where it is: the Heat are open to listening to trade offers for Jimmy Butler,"
ESPN's Shams Charania said Tuesday on the Pat McAfee Show (h/t RealGM). "That's what sources told me last week. That remains the case. There's no urgency though. He's on a $49 million contract this year. He has a $52 million player option for next year.
