Trade deadline passes: Here are the moves

Dwane Casey could transition from head coach of the Detroit Pistons to a front office role this offseason, sources tell Jake Fischer of Yahoo.

While various staffers with the Pistons are preparing for Casey to not remain as head coach, one source insists it will be Casey’s decision.

Casey maintains a strong relationship with Tom Gores and he has received support despite four straight losing seasons.

Casey delayed his media availability after Wednesday’s game due to a meeting with Gores. Casey and Gores will meet again once the season is over.

Casey has one more season remaining on his contract.

Jimmy Butler has at least three teams willing to trade for him this offseason with the intent of then signing him to a max-level extension, sources tell Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald.

Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reported earlier this week that the Sixers have interest in trading for and then extending Butler.

The two-year max extension that Butler and his camp will push for this offseason includes salaries of $54.3 million for the 25-26 season and $58.6 million for 26-27.

Butler would be eligible to sign the same two-year, $113 million extension that he can sign with the Heat with any team he’s traded to because his Bird Rights carry over in a trade, but that deal could not be agreed upon for six months.

Butler would ideally like to finish his career with the Heat, but he also is seeking the extension.
