Jimmy Butler likely to seek four-year, max extension from Heat this offseason, per report

Jimmy Butler has exceeded the Miami Heat's wildest expectations since he joined the team through a 2019 sign-and-trade. The veteran forward led the team to the 2019 NBA Finals, and despite an early bout with COVID-19, he managed to bounce back and post career-best numbers in rebounds and assists this season. Butler struggled in a first-round sweep by the Milwaukee Bucks, but with another All-NBA berth likely on the horizon and the Heat expecting to contend for championships over the next several years, the five-time All-Star is expected to seek compensation for his success with the Heat.
