[Music] hey guys let's get more news about Miami Heat but first don't forget to subscribe and leave your like report Jimmy Butler likes Nets as free agent destination the Nets officially entered rebuild mode this offseason by trading their best player Mikel Bridges to the Knicks however their path back to relevancy could be fast-tracked 12 months from now with the acquisition of Jimmy Butler according to Brian Lewis of the New York Post Butler likes Brooklyn as a free agent destination next summer if he's unable to Ink a long-term contract extension with the heat the report added that Butler who owns a $ 52.4 million player option for the 2025 to 26 season is widely expected to turn down the option to seek a new long-term contract as a free agent the odds of him picking up his player option are slim unless he agrees to a max deal with the heat beforehand Lewis wrote the six-time allstar is the most accomplished standout on that free agent list not named LeBron James and he likes Brooklyn according to sources close to the player the heat are clearly not enthused about offering Max money to the 34 yearold Butler who missed a combined 65 games over his last three seasons during during his season ending news conference heat boss Pat Riley was upfront about not going all in on Butler questioning the Star Wings availability and endurance when Riley made those comments it seemed inevitable that Miami would move Butler instead of losing him for nothing as a free agent next year yet Barry Jackson of the Miami heral reported in July that the heat is sick not shopping Butler and intends to play out the 2024 to2 season before re assessing the situation next summer one thing is for certain Butler seems determined to prove his worth as he auditions for possibly the final big money contract of his career the Houston native has been spotted hooping at various proam events this summer and also participated in Yao Ming's charity event in China last week Butler averaged 20.8 points 5.3 rebounds and 5.0 assists last season projecting what the heat started lineup might realistically look like in 2025 to 26 when it comes to starting lineups coach Eric spola is no stranger to mixing things up unfortunately injuries have forced him into that position over recent years at full strength the Heat's regular first unit this past season featured Terry roier Tyler Harrow Jimmy Butler Nikola jovic and Bam atabo that group is also the likely projected lineup going into the new campaign as beautiful as it sounds to slide atabo to the power forward position and pairing him with the 7 foot Kell we spoler probably won't go that route right out of the gate as talented and hungry where may be he still has raw potential that needs to be worked into NBA action as a rookie this notion could change deeper into the season but for now joic seems more relied on with his proven experience Jamie j junor will be a candidate for a major role regardless if he isn't a starter ESPN had him slated as a Sixth Man of the Year candidate in a recent article a sophomore leap from what was already an impressive rookie season from jaquez could help Elevate this Heat team with all this being said how different could an opening night lineup look like a year from now for the 2025 to 26 Season with Jimmy Butler's impending free agency Andor room for roll changes from core guys there could be a lot of possibilities but here is a realistic first unit that could pose a real threat to teams around the league PG Tyler hero Hero's playmaking ability is something that the heat covet and there have been a lot of performances to justify that he put together a pair of elite outings in that role during last season's play-in and first round series following roer's injury the growth in his game each season has included increasing assists going from 2.2 as a rookie to 4.5 last year it has been a gradual increase but the older he gets the more the ball will be in his hands to create offense Harrow has so much offensive talent that having him at the point guard position regularly could work out as a combo guard an everyday role as such could mean a change for roier in any future rotations if he sticks around however roier has expressed a willingness to play in any role necessary to help the team a sixthman type of position is something he could thrive in adding some much needed scoring balance and provide a way to have the ball in his hands more with bench groups the shooting guard position is one that Butler is familiar with from his Chicago Bulls days at 6'7 a change in that regard going from small forward could also bring more size into the backcourt and a perfect defensive partner for Harrow not to mention as Butler ages and possibly a two-year window of the best from him could make it easier for defensive assignments on smaller players to make a lineup like this work he is going to have to continue shooting the ball from long range at an efficient clip he shot 41% from that category a year ago and three-point shooting could be something that the heat star continues to lean on as he gets older with all the trade rumors that gain traction regarding Butler at the start of the offse season he quickly shut that down by making the decision to wait on a new contract after this upcoming season he could opt in with his $53 million contract through 2025 to 26 next summer there is also the possibility of him opting out to sign a new deal or even leave to go elsewhere money May ultimately talk in what could be Butler's last real Payday however the heat franchise star has been adamant on wanting to play in Miami for the rest of his career it would be really tough to imagine him retiring with another team at this point proposed trade sends Golden State Warriors icon Stephen Curry to Miami Heat it was always meant to be a happy ending for Stephan Curry and the Golden State Warriors but recent events have raised doubts about that could it lead to the greatest shooter in basketball history pulling on a Miami Heat jersey someday Klay Thompson left the warrior this Summer that would have been Unthinkable a few years back but he just has not looked the same player since suffering those two major injuries Thompson's exit broke up his iconic Trio with curry and Draymond Green which brought four championships to the Warriors it was sad to see Thompson leave the Warriors but at the same time it was not hard to understand why the decision made sense for both parties but when a legend like him leaves the least the fans expect is for someone some to be brought in who can improve the team as a whole and help them get back into contention the Warriors failed to do that this summer and do not look anywhere near being Championship contenders they were believed to be interested in Paul George but a trade package could not be agreed this all has now led to speculation about Curry's future with the franchise in an article on twws Marissa Meyers proposed a trade that would see Curry join the heat while the Warriors would receive Tyler Harrow nikol lovic 2025 first round pick and 2027 first round pick of course one would think that the Warriors would do everything possible to keep Curry he is still playing at an MVP level and is coming off winning Olympic gold with Team USA Curry leaving would not only be a blow to the warriors on the court but to their Global popularity as well in an Ideal World Curry will retire with the Warriors a one team Legend like Kobe Bryant Dirk novitzki Larry Bird Tim Duncan and Magic Johnson but never say never in basketball and you fan what do you think of the situation of Stephen Curry leave your opinion in the comments
