NBA News: Jimmy Butler signs new mega contract at the Miami Hea

Jimmy Butler has prescribed the Miami Heat in the long term. The Forward has officially approved a contract extension until 2026.

The 31-year-old came to Miami in 2019 and renounced his players' option for the 2022/23 season to extend his contract prematurely. Butler remains for a maximum of 184 million dollars over four years to 2026, holding a player option for the last year.

"Jimmy is beside Bam [Adebayo] the anchor and the face of our franchise," Team President Pat Riley explained the decision of the Heat. "With Jimmy, we have an all-NBA and an all-defense player, which is scratch-beard and otherwise simply completely. He deserves this contract because he became one of the best players of the league."

Nevertheless, the extension came a bit surprising, because Butler then almost 37 years old when his contract expires. The fivefold All-Star wants to stay in Miami and at the side of his friend Kyle Lowry, who came via Sign-and-Trade from Toronto, to play another chance of the finals.

In 2020, Butler had already led the Heat to the finals, but Miami lost the Los Angeles Lakers around Lebron James and Anthony Davis in six. The year thereafter, the Heat could not confirm the success, even in round one it sat against the later Champion Milwaukee Bucks a sweep.
