Given the Sixers realistic options, I’m all in on Jimmy Butler. Trade what is necessary to make it happen. He’ll hold Embiid/others accountable, & he wants the final shot. Yes, he’s getting older & will miss games, but he has the desire to win, not just collect his paycheck. – 10:34 AM

More on this storyline
Anthony Chiang: After entering offseason wanting a max extension, a league source confirms Jimmy Butler now intends to bypass extension request this summer. Instead, Butler plans to play out next season with Heat under current contract before making a decision on his opt-out next offseason. -via Twitter @Anthony_Chiang / June 26, 2024
Ira Winderman: Can confirm from NBA source that the intent now is for Jimmy Butler to bypass extension request at July opening of that window, but could be revisited during season. Butler has opt out for 2025-26 season. In other words, likely no summer drama…but room for plenty winter drama. -via Twitter @IraHeatBeat / June 26, 2024
NBA Central: Jimmy Butler is ‘determined’ to have a career year next season, per @ShamsCharania “I’m told Jimmy Butler is absolutely determined to have a big season next year and set himself up for a major payday in 2025 free agency.” (Via @Stadium ) -via Twitter @TheNBACentral / June 26, 2024
