Miami Heat star forward Jimmy Butler reportedly made it clear to team president Pat Riley that he has no future in South Florida.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Butler reiterated in a face-to-face meeting with Riley last week that he wants to be traded and will not sign a new contract with the Heat. Sources told Charania that Butler added that he "intends to only use his $52 million player option in the offseason for 2025-26 as a trade maneuver."
