Warriors and Lakers Eye Jimmy Butler Amid Trade Speculations

Golden State and Los Angeles consider moves for the Miami Heat star as his contract extension remains uncertain.

The Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers are exploring potential trades for Miami Heat's Jimmy Butler.
Warriors owner Joe Lacob has shown interest in Butler after failed attempts to acquire other All-Stars like Paul George and Lauri Markkanen.
The Lakers are also considering Butler to bolster their roster alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
Butler, who turns 35, has not signed a contract extension with the Heat, leading to trade speculations.
The Heat's president, Pat Riley, has expressed hesitation about committing to a long-term extension for Butler due to his age and injury history.
