Yeah he's done as a top 10 player. Move him get the assets to possibly make a move for DeAaron Fox. This team has no shot against Boston with Butler making 50 mil for multiple seasons. A core of Fox, Herro and Bam doesnt beat Boston. But it gives you a longer window to add more pieces around them. It's a fact older players get worse every season. Butler is worse than he was last year. He will be worse next year than he is now. And even worse 2 seasons ago. If Heat want to be in denial over that, then we get more seasons like last year. Where they can get to round 2 because they compete hard but can't contend.
Because Butler's making 45 mil a season? Which has a bigger impact on this team being successful, Butler at 45 or having both Robinson and Rozier combined for 45 mil? I don't get this obsession with the amount of money when there are much bigger wastes of money on the roster.
Good luck on adding that next star since Miami's added one in 10 years of looking for one, that's a sobering reality I've had to live through with another team with a bunch of high 1st round picks.
The Heat are fine with his current contract. Butler is looking for the Max which is putting him on avarage 60 mill per.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. But Butler and the Heat don’t have to reach that point if they can agree to the two-year max contract extension worth about $113 million that he’s already eligible for. The Heat also has until June 30 to sign Butler to this extension, which would keep him in Miami through the 2026-27 season when he’ll be 37 years old.

Are they? Why not just have him opt in and add 1 or 2 years to that then? I wouldn't go for 4 more years, 2-3 more years after this to me is safe.
