NBA Owners To Vote This Week On Proposed European League

During a recent episode of The Pat McAfee Show, the topic of Jimmy Butler’s future came up. NBA insider Shams Charania gave some insight into where Butler and the Miami Heat are at.

“My sense is Jimmy Butler does not want to be anywhere but Miami,” Charania told Pat McAfee. “Sense is that he loves it in Miami. But again, he is extension-eligible this year. There are multiple teams out there that would give him an extension, and I think this is something that we’ll see play out over the next month or so. The Heat don’t want to trade him; he wants an extension. Will they give him an extension? That’s the question.”

Butler is reportedly looking for a two-year extension worth over $112 million. It’s unclear if the Heat will offer that amount to the veteran wing. The Philadelphia 76ers have been rumored to have interest in a reunion with Butler, which could via a trade and eventual extension. Philadelphia projects to have over $60 million in cap space this offseason.

Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors could open discussions on a new contract extension as the franchise would like him to remain with them for the remainder of his career. Curry signed a four-year, $215.3 million extension in 2021 that expires after the 25-26 season.

Curry is eligible to sign a one-year extension for the 26-27 season at approximately $62.6 million. Curry is limited on his extension due to the over-38 rule of the CBA. Curry and the Warriors have until October 21st to extend the extra year, otherwise it could be picked back up during the 2025 offseason.

“That guy can get whatever he wants,” said Mike Dunleavy. “All that stuff will get figured out. And Steph will be, I’m pretty confident he’ll be a Warrior for life.”

Dunleavy also expects extension talks to pick up with Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody.
