Coming into the campaign, there was a lot of positivity around him. He was rumored to be focused on earning a big contract extension from the\u00a0Miami Heat\u00a0after he was not handed one in the offseason.<\/p>\n<p>Butler&#8217;s performances have not backed up the hype though. He has had good games here and there, but overall, he has not looked anywhere near his best.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\">\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\" data-zone-count=\"4\">\n<div class=\"not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c m-in-content-ad is-loaded\">\n<div id=\"ad-in_content-cfda989f2d39498187a5215aec9ad0f3\" data-google-query-id=\"CI-x_qDpzokDFbhXDwIdIhwdaQ\" data-ad-size=\"300x250\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/88059007\/athlonsports.com\/nba\/inside-the-heat_2__container__\"><iframe id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/88059007\/athlonsports.com\/nba\/inside-the-heat_2\" tabindex=\"0\" title=\"3rd party ad content\" name=\"google_ads_iframe_\/88059007\/athlonsports.com\/nba\/inside-the-heat_2\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" aria-label=\"Advertisement\" data-load-complete=\"true\" data-google-container-id=\"2\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>After seven games, Butler is averaging 18.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists while shooting just 16.7% from three-point range, one of the worst in the league.<\/p>\n<p>If things do not improve, it would not be a surprise if the Heat start fielding trade offers for Butler.

He has long been a rock-solid scorer and secondary creator, and his three-ball has so far impressed with both quantity and quality.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s also possible Miami needs a long-term replacement for Jimmy Butler, who has a chance to join Ingram in 2025 free agency.
