Rival Execs Believe Jimmy Butler Could Be Heading To Philly

Despite Jimmy Butler having two years left on his current deal, the 34-year-old wants a contract extension that may be a little too high for Pat Riley and the Miami Heat.

He is eligible for a two-year, $113 million extension to tack onto the remaining one-year left on the deal with a player option in 2025-26.

Even though he took the Heat to the Finals two times during his tenure (2020, 2023), Miami’s position on giving him more guaranteed money is unknown. If they decide not to extend him, then rival executives believe the Philadelphia 76ers will trade for Butler for a “family reunion.”

This is according to Marc Stein, as it’s believed Daryl Morey wants to add another piece to go with Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid, almost running it back with Butler after a current five-year break.

Rival teams will keep their eye on Philly and Miami, especially since Morey has more than $60 million to play with and a roster to build for championships.

Marcus Morris Expected To Sign With Either Sixers Or Cavaliers

According to multiple reports, Marcus Morris has finalized his selection to either the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Philadelphia 76ers. Both teams had him on their roster last season.

As Morris heads into his 14th season, the 34-year-old can either re-sign with Cleveland or return to Philly. Either way, he wants a contract that isn’t centered around money but on a meaningful role.

In 37 games with Philly, Morris averaged 6.7 points and 2.9 rebounds. In 12 games with Cleveland, Morris averaged 5.8 points and 2.1 rebounds.

According to multiple reports, the Philadelphia 76ers will be signing Reggie Jackson after he clears waivers from the Charlotte Hornets. This is the second time in two years Jackson has been waived by the Hornets.

The Denver Nuggets traded the 34-year-old to Charlotte to shed his salary, which saw them getting two second-rounders from Denver to take the money.

Philadelphia needed to fill their hole in the backcourt, depth-related concerns, and they found Jackson to be the right match.

Jackson averaged 10.2 points and 3.8 assists in all 82 games last season for the Nuggets.
