Bucks Told They Are Not Out Of Jimmy Butler Sweepstakes Despite Phoenix Rumors; Deal Not Considered Imminent
Butler, who is making $48.8 million this season, is eligible for free agency after the season and has informed Miami officials that he will not sign a new contract with the team. The six-time All-Star has a $52.4 million player option for next season but is unlikely to exercise it unless it helps a deal go through.
