Jimmy Butler says he's not worrying about his future with Heat amid trade speculation

Jimmy Butler knows there are tons of questions about his future with the Miami Heat. He might get traded, he might leave as a free agent next summer, he might exercise a $52.4 million option to return to the Heat or he might get a new contract.

“Who knows?” Butler asked.

Evidently, even he doesn't have answers.

The Heat forward — who has led the team to a pair of NBA Finals trips in his Miami tenure — spoke out about trade speculation Wednesday, telling reporters after practice that he doesn't mind his name being in the rumor mill. ESPN reported earlier in the week that the Heat are open to receiving trade offers; that wouldn't be surprising, given Butler's contract status and the possibility that he might leave with the Heat getting nothing in return next summer.
