Andy Elisburg said the Miami Heat are in no rush to sign Jimmy Butler to an extension. Said Pat Riley wants to challenge Jimmy Butler to get more out of him.
Miami Heat general manager Andy Elisburg said the team is in no rush to sign Jimmy Butler to an extension.
Elisburg recently appeared on SiriusXM NBA Radio with Ryan McDonough to explain the reasoning behind the lack of negotiations. "As Pat Riley said in his press conference, it isn't something we have to do now. We have an opportunity to do this all year long, and then there's an opportunity that he becomes a free agent next year and we sit down and do a contract at that point," Elisburg said. "If a player wants to be in Miami, and we want him in Miami, the rest of it is logistics. That's how Pat has always approached it. Whether it's room or timing, that just becomes a piece of it.
