Jimmy Butler is ready for a change of scenery.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Miami Heat star “prefers” a trade out of town by the February 6 trade deadline. However, he reportedly hasn’t officially asked the Heat for a trade.

Butler, 35, is in his 14th year in the NBA. He has been with the Heat since 2019. Miami is reportedly open to offers from Butler, who is primarily seeking a trade to a win-now contender. Teams Butler is reportedly open to joining include the Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors, Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets.

The Heat have been to the playoffs in five of Butler’s six full seasons in Miami. He hoped the Heat could be his chance to win the NBA Finals and get his long-awaited championship ring, and they came close several times. The Heat made the Finals in 2020, Butler’s first season in Miami, losing 4-2 to the Los Angeles Lakers in the COVID-19 bubble finals. Three years later, the Heat were in the finals again, but lost 4-1 to the Denver Nuggets.

The 2023-2024 season marked the first time the Heat were not in the playoffs since Butler joined the team, and while the Heat have not been in the basement so far in the 2024-2025 season, they are struggling to stay up Water. They sit in sixth place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 14-13, putting them above the play-in line, but there are still a few games left to play. The two teams directly behind the Heat both have a .500 record and could very easily overtake them.
