BREAKING: Stephen curry warriors seriously exploring shocking’ Idea of entertaining triple Exodus’ for one incoming Miami Heat trade” as Curry new partner already found” after Klay Thompson departure….
Jimmy Butler, who joined the Miami Heat in 2019, has served as the team’s public face. Since then, he has been successful in leading them to two NBA Finals, but both times they have tragically lost. However, the Golden State Warriors are the most recent team to be connected to him, suggesting that his long-term future may not be at South Beach.
It is not hard to see why the Warriors might have an eye on Butler’s situation. He will be a free agent next summer if he decides to turn down his player option with the Heat.
If rumors are accurate then Butler was looking for a max extension this summer. The Heat seemingly had doubts about that, largely as a result of his injury history. According to Taylor Wirth on NBC Sports, The Athletic’s Sam Amick reported on a recent episode of “The TK Show” with Tim Kawakami: “You need the wheels to fall off somewhere.
Not free agency-wise, talking trade-wise. A couple guys who come to mind, Jimmy Butler is going to be a free agent next summer. Didn’t get an extension done. The Warriors, as you know, have interest there and I think probably made a couple calls during the summer. That name comes to mind.”
Butler might be exactly what the Warriors need following the departure of Klay Thompson this summer. The dynasty might be over but they will surely try to remain in contention, as Steph Curry only has a few prime years left on the court. Arkay has suggested the idea of a trade on TWSN that would see the Warriors receive Butler while the Heat would get Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody, Kevon Looney, 2025 first-round pick and 2027 first-round pick.
Of course, one has to wonder whether the Warriors would even be open to the idea of trading Kuminga after his excellent 2023-24 season.
The Warriors reportedly did not feel prepared to include Kuminga in a trade for Paul George this summer since they see him as an integral component of both their present and future. However, the longer the Warriors fail to sign a superstar to support Curry, the greater the pressure will be on them to find a solution.
