BREAKING NEWS: Heat FA Alec Burks Reveals His Top Destination for 2025-26 Season….

In a surprising offseason revelation, veteran guard Alec Burks—who recently finished his stint with the Miami Heat—has officially named his preferred destination for the upcoming 2025-26 NBA season.

According to league sources and a statement from Burks himself, the 33-year-old swingman has identified the **Golden State Warriors** as his top choice in free agency, signaling both a potential homecoming and a strategic move in the twilight of his career.

> “I’ve always respected what the Warriors have built—on and off the court,” Burks told reporters during a private event in Los Angeles. “At this point in my career, I want to compete for a title and play in a system that values smart, unselfish basketball. Golden State checks those boxes.”

Burks, who averaged 9.7 points and 2.3 assists in a reserve role for the Heat last season, was praised for his shot-making, veteran leadership, and ability to swing momentum off the bench. While Miami has reportedly shown interest in re-signing him, insiders say the Heat are prioritizing younger assets and bigger names in their own free-agent pursuits.

Interestingly, Burks played for the Warriors briefly during the 2019-20 season before being traded mid-year. His familiarity with the organization—and potential to fill a key bench role—could make him an ideal low-cost veteran signing for a team that is looking to retool around Stephen Curry while still contending.

No official contract discussions have begun, but league insiders expect talks to accelerate once free agency officially opens in July. If the Warriors decide to pursue Burks, they’ll likely offer a veteran minimum or bi-annual exception deal—something the guard seems willing to accept in exchange for a realistic shot at a championship.
