The Miami Heat may consider trading star forward Jimmy Butler, with the Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks showing interest. Despite earlier links to the Brooklyn Nets, Butler is not seen as a fit for their young roster.
Butler's future is uncertain, especially with the possibility of hitting unrestricted free agency in 2025. Currently, the Heat are at .500, and while they reached the NBA Finals as an eighth seed last season, Pat Riley might hesitate to move Butler if they remain competitive.
Butler has played 14 games this season, averaging 18.9 points and showing strong shooting percentages. While a trade isn't imminent, the Golden State Warriors have also expressed interest in Butler, indicating that several teams could pursue him if he becomes available.
