Jimmy Butler has had some fantastic moments and seasons in Miami, but the time has come for him to change the middle - weeks ago there was speculation that the NBA ace would leave Florida, and now he himself has spoken about the fact that he is simply no longer happy as a member of " heat".

"What do I want to happen? To see how the pleasure of playing basketball comes back to me. Wherever it is, we'll find out very soon. I'm happy here outside the field, but I want to dominate again somewhere. "I want to play and help the team win, and I'm not doing that right now," said the 35-year-old Butler.

When asked by a journalist if he could find happiness in Miami once again, he answered:

"Probably not".

Recently, Miami president Pat Riley pointed out that the franchise has no intention of trading Butler, who is interested in Phoenix and Golden State.

It is mentioned that the Suns are ready to include Bradley Beal in the trade for him. However, Bill's contract is such that he is the one who is wondering if he will leave Arizona or not.

Before Miami, Butler played for Chicago, Minnesota and Philadelphia. He played in two Grand Finals with the Heat and lost to the LA Lakers in 2020 and Denver in 2023.
