Jimmy Butler has been one of the best players in the NBA over the last decade.

During the middle of the 2024-25 season, the six-time All-Star was traded to the Golden State Warriors (after part of six years with the Miami Heat).

As part of the deal, Butler also signed a contract extension that will keep him locked in with Golden State until the summer of 2027.

Therefore, the Warriors owe Butler over $110 million over the next two seasons (via Spotrac).

Butler ended up being a huge addition to the Warriors.

He finished the stint with averages of 17.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.7 steals per contest while shooting 47.6% from the field and 27.9% from the three-point range in 30 games.

Via @DubNationMedia (on August 14): "Seen too much Jimmy Butler hate from warriors fans lately, let me remind you all

Turned our season around helping us to a 23-7 record after trading for him

Got hurt game 2 against the rockets and proceeded to come back game 4 and drop 27 pts

It’s cool tho stay on that side"

Butler has also spent time with the Chicago Bulls, Philadelphia 76ers and Minnesota Timberwolves over 14 seasons.

Over his run with the Heat, Butler led the franchise to the NBA Finals twice.
