It only took five seasons for Jimmy Butler to establish himself as one of the greatest Miami Heat players ever.
Butler, who turned 35 in September, has already helped lead the Heat to three Eastern Conference finals appearances and two NBA Finals appearances since joining the team during the 2019 offseason. But Butler still enters his sixth season with the Heat amid some uncertainty surrounding his future with the organization.
With a $52.4 million player option in Butler’s contract for next season, he can become a free agent this upcoming summer. If Butler opts out and becomes a free agent next offseason, he will be eligible to sign a four-year max contract projected to be worth about $243 million with the Heat or a max three-year contract worth $171 million elsewhere
