The Miami Heat have the attention of at least one premiere free agent as we near June 30th. Per Tim Reynolds of the AP, Jimmy Butler is more than willing to meet with the Heat once free agency begins.
Jimmy Butler has told confidants that if Miami wants to talk on or after June 30 he would certainly – and happily – listen, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.
(Of course, the “how would Miami have the $$$” portion of this equation remains most unclear.)
The first step is to get the meeting, but the second step is to figure out how on earth the most expensive team to miss the playoffs in the history of the NBA can actually add a free agent who is likely to earn the max or close to it.
