Heat general manager on potential Jimmy Butler extension: It will work itself out
And then there is the elephant in the room that could remain there throughout the season, Jimmy Butler’s open window to negotiate an extension through June 30. “As Pat said at his press conference, it doesn’t have to be something you do now,” Elisburg said in an interview on Sirius XM NBA Radio. “You have an opportunity to do this all year long, so there’s an opportunity to do it at some point in time. And there’s an opportunity if he becomes a free agent next year to sit down and do a contract at that point in time. So there’s always an opportunity to do it. “I think Jimmy has indicated he wants to be in Miami. We’ve indicated we like Jimmy and we want him to be in Miami. Pat has indicated in his postseason press conference that there are things to see and there are challenges. Jimmy is familiar with having challenges and being part of being challenged. Pat and Jimmy are two very strong-willed people who are looking for the same thing, which is ultimately to win. So my view of it at the end of the day, it ultimately will work itself out.”Source: South Florida Sun-Sentinel
