Jimmy Butler est devenu le joueur de rugby le mieux payé avec 122,7 millions de dollars par an, en signant aujourd’hui sa lettre…

The five-year marriage between star wing Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat could soon be coming to an end. After Miami’s first-round loss to the eventual champion Boston Celtics in the NBA Playoffs, front office head Pat Riley called Butler out.

This came following an injury-plagued end of the season in which Butler had to sit out the playoffs. At 34 years old, Butler might be on a different timeline than the Heat. Hence, why rumors continue to pop up regarding a potential trade.

Matt Moore of The Action Network just recently added more fodder to Butler-related trade rumors.

“Butler has one more year left on his deal with the Heat. The Heat don’t have to trade him. Whether you think having Jimmy Butler disgruntled in the final year of a deal sounds like a fun time is certainly something everyone has to decide, Moore noted. “But there’s at least a feeling in league circles that if the Heat decide not to extend him at his preferred price, they’ll facilitate a deal.”

Butler is eligible for an extension worth around $113 million over two seasons. That’s what he is said to be seeking.
