Jimmy Butler Says He Has No Plans To Leave The Miami Heat
Jimmy Butler has lasted longer than most expected with the Miami Heat.
Butler is now in the middle of his first season in Miami and doesn't see himself leaving for another team. In a recent interview with UPROXX.com, Butler said he has no plans of playing elsewhere because of his bond with teammates Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo.
Honestly, I see a lot of myself when you talk about the career path and trajectory of everything," Butler said. "They’ve figured it out. They realized that they belong in this league. They’re constantly proving that they belong in this league. Not only that, they’ve gotten better every single year, and they’re gonna continue to get better every single year. And before you know it, we’re all going to end up winning a championship together because I don’t plan on going anywhere. Tyler doesn’t plan on going anywhere. Bam doesn’t plan on going anywhere, so we’re gonna have to figure it out.
At 29-23, the Heat are No. 6 in the Eastern Conference standings and appear headed toward another postseason run after making the conference finals last year. They play the New York Knicks Thursday.
