NBA Fans React to Exciting Jimmy Butler News

The Golden State Warriors made a splash trade this past season during the NBA's trade deadline when they acquired Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler. Doing so at a bargain, it came at the cost of uncertainty, with Butler having a rocky exit in Miami. However, the trade paid off for Golden State, as Butler led the team on a run that ended in the second round of the postseason.

Now, as Butler is set to turn 36 years old by the start of next season, the six-time All-Star is doing more than just spending his time hanging out with sports icons like Kylian Mbappe and Lando Norris. In fact, a new report reveals that Butler could be finding his way into becoming a professional team owner this offseason.
