Is staying on the Miami Heat part of Jimmy Butler's 2025 resolution? We just don't know and after speaking to the media Tuesday, it doesn't really sound like it's a top priority for him? He was asked about what he thinks about all the trade speculation going on and Jimmy said, `Does it matter? I honestly do not care about being traded, where I'm supposed to go, who's saying what. All of that is out of my control. He goes on to say that it's ultimately going to be Pat Riley's decision.
Jimmy Butler is 35 years old. He's averaging 18.5 points a game and he hasn't played since Dec. 20, even so he only played seven minutes during that game. The Heat have a pretty soft schedule the next few days at home. They face the 5-28 Pelicans Wednesday, then the Pacers come to town and then the struggling Jazz finish out the home series before the Heat go to the West Coast. What type of Jimmy Butler will we see starting this year and even more, is he going to stay on the Miami Heat?
