Jimmy Butler Eyeing Brooklyn Nets? Miami Heat Superstar ‘Fond’ Of Team

There’s no telling where Miami Heat superstar Jimmy Butler will play after this season.
Butler is entering the final year of his contract where he’ll look to prove himself deserving of a maximum contract while the Heat’s front office is evaluating his worth. With either side potentially ready to end the tenure, other teams come into play for the 35-year-old.
The New York Post’s Brian Lewis proposes the Brooklyn Nets as a destination, reporting Butler is ‘fond’ of the organization.
“Butler isn’t just open to Brooklyn, but fond of it,” Lewis wrote. “Now, he’s not a Net and he might never get close to becoming one. But to dismiss the possibility out of hand is foolish. Butler has decided he’ll play out next season and won’t extend in Miami ahead of his opt-out in 2025. He seems intent on hitting free agency, even if (when?) the Heat finally get around to giving him a concrete offer.”
This move doesn’t make sense for the Nets or Butler at the moment. Brooklyn’s front office just kicked off a rebuild by moving on from star forward Mikal Bridges and others while the veteran star is seeking his first career championship.
Unless the appeal of the city and money overpowers the desire of winning a title, it’s hard to imagine Butler in a Nets uniform.

MIAMI – Broward County Public Schools officials said Saturday they are aware of a social media post threatening several area schools and are working closely with local law enforcement to determine the credibility of the threat.
They said they are taking steps to identify those responsible.
“The safety of our schools, students and staff is our top priority,” officials said.
School officials are urging parents to remind their children that, “Making a threat against our schools is a felony and carries lifelong consequences including arrest, expulsion and severe disciplinary measures.”
Late Thursday evening, Nicole Nearor, the principal of Coconut Creek High School, sent a message to parents saying they were aware of “a potential threat to our school of an image made via social media. We immediately worked with law enforcement to safely handle the situation. As a precautionary measure, there are extra police and security personnel on our campus.”
It is unclear who was behind the potential threat to the high school.
Broward has the sixth largest school system in the country with over 250,000 students, 31,000 employees and more than 320 schools, centers, technical colleges and charter schools.

MIAMI – Stephanie Alonso died Friday, days after the 7-year-old girl was struck by a driver outside a pharmacy in Miami.
The incident happened on Monday when Stephanie and her mom were walking toward the main entrance of Navarro Pharmacy on Southwest 32nd Avenue and 22nd Street in Miami before 4 p.m.
A Red Nissan SUV driven by an elderly woman struck the girl and sideswiped her mom.
“Instead of pressing the brakes, the 92-year-old accelerates, and we can see (through surveillance videos) that the vehicle accelerates and goes right toward them. It sideswipes the mother, hits the girl,” said Mike Vega, public information officer for Miami Police. “She was not pinned under the car; she was actually right next to the vehicle.”
Stephanie was rushed to Jackson Memorial Hospital in critical condition.
Stephanie would have turned 8 on Sept. 21.
Miami Police have not revealed the identity of the driver, except for her age.
“We issued a ticket for careless driving, but we did not issue it to her yet because we have to wait on the outcome of the case,” Vega said.
