Butler had a great season with the Heat in 2022-23, averaging 22.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.8 steals per game. He was fifth in the league in steals and was named to the All-NBA Second Team. He also helped the Heat reach the NBA Finals for the second time in three years, where they lost to the Denver Nuggets in five games.
Butler is not going anywhere anytime soon, as he reportedly signed a four-year, $184 million contract extension with the Heat in August. He will be joined by his new teammate Kyle Lowry, who arrived from the Toronto Raptors via a sign-and-trade deal.
