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-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A 12-year-old girl was shot in the arm after gunfire erupted in a northwest Miami-Dade neighborhood early Tuesday morning, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said they responded just before 1 a.m. to the area of Northwest 64th Street and Northwest 21st Avenue in the county’s Gladeview area, where they found three vehicles struck by gunfire, including a silver Hyundai.
“The car was parked outside of the residence. It was occupied by three juveniles, so it was the girl and her two siblings that were in the vehicle. The mom was outside of the vehicle at the time, so this could have been a very different outcome,” MDSO Detective Samantha Choon said.
Authorities said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue medics transported the girl to a nearby hospital in stable condition.
A family member of the victim told Local 10’s Jackie Pascale that the girl is now home and doing OK.
They said neither her siblings nor their mother was injured in the shooting.
According to investigators, no arrests have been made, and detectives have not released any suspect information at this time.
Neighbor Marie Grimes said she was shaken after hearing multiple gunshots.
“I heard the booms — boom, boom, boom, boom — and I said, ‘Oh my God, what’s happening?’” she said. “Maybe five or six, ’cause look at that right there. I’m just glad the little girl is OK.”
Investigators asked neighbors to check their surveillance or Ring camera footage from around 1 a.m. and contact authorities with any information.
Anyone with information on the shooting is urged to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477. Anonymous tips are accepted.

Three people were hurt after a building caught fire on Lincoln Road on Sunday, according to authorities.
The Miami Beach Fire Department said it was working a fire near 230 Lincoln Road.

Three people were taken to Mount Sinai Medical Center with minor injuries.
The building was evacuated, and FPL has shut off power to the surrounding area, the fire department said.
