Analysts say Jimmy Butler’s Miami days are “over.”

Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat have had a successful season. They have made two trips to the NBA Finals and one to the Eastern Conference Finals since he joined the squad in 2019.

That’s especially remarkable in light of the fact that Pat Riley hasn’t paired him with a more talented player, and even though Bam Adebayo is among the finest defenders in the league, he lacks the offensive complement he needs to overcome obstacles. However, good things come to an end eventually, so Butler’s stay in South Beach may be coming to an end.

That’s what ESPN NBA analyst Alan Hahn seems to believe, at least. He told listeners on Get Up that the Miami Heat’s Butler era was coming to an end.

Pat Riley’s open digs at Butler, in his opinion, were a portent of things to come. More importantly, though, he thinks Daryl Morey will make a concerted effort to get him back to Philadelphia. In 2019, Butler was treated unfairly by the Philadelphia 76ers, after he famously accused them of favoring Tobias Harris over him.

Despite signing with the Heat, he has maintained a tight relationship with Joel Embiid. Additionally, Morey might undo the error made by Elton Brand before him, since the Heat are supposedly undecided about offering Butler the maximum contract extension he may be seeking. Though anything may happen in the league, this will be one of the more interesting offseason plots to watch.
