Lately, it’s become clear that the Miami Heat are on the clock with their star veteran, Jimmy Butler. Although Butler is under contract for next season, the All-Star wants to earn some long-term security sooner rather than later.Several reports have indicated that Butler wants the max extension. If he doesn’t get it from the Heat, he’s expected to seek a trade to a team who would be willing to meet that demand.
