Jimmy Butler could be on the move after a disappointing season with the Miami Heat. The star player is seeking a max extension, but the Heat have been hesitant to commit due to his injury history. Other teams, like the Philadelphia 76ers, may be interested in trading for Butler. Despite the uncertainty, Butler hinted at a potential interest in joining the Los Angeles Lakers during an event with the Los Angeles Sparks, wearing No. 22, which is currently unavailable on the Lakers due to team legends.

The Lakers have been active in the trade market and could benefit from Butler's skillset as a two-way wing player. However, a deal involving Butler would be challenging due to his hefty contract and age. Nonetheless, Butler is exploring his options and keeping an eye on potential suitors if the Heat decide not to extend his contract.
