Extra on this storyline
Hours earlier than Butler’s fiery postgame information convention on Thursday, there was a dialog between Warmth officers and Butler’s illustration, in accordance with league sources. Butler was bothered after the dialogue as a result of Butler and his agent perceived that Warmth officers have been implying that Butler didn’t play his hardest within the Warmth’s dwelling win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday. Butler scored 9 factors on 5 photographs and didn’t play within the fourth quarter of that contest in his first sport after a five-game absence stemming from an sickness. But the Heat contends that it was a more macro level discussion regarding the team’s concern over Butler’s behavior in recent weeks since the trade noise has grown louder. Butler’s camp left that Thursday conversation with the perception that the Heat was considering suspending him for his effort in Wednesday’s victory over the Pelicans, but the Heat insists it never threatened Butler with a suspension for that reason. -via Miami Herald / January 3, 2025
Two different eventualities now appear out of the query — Miami relenting and giving him a max wage in 2026-27 or the perimeters reaching a compromise deal. Butler is angry that the Heat didn’t offer him a max extension, and the Heat is angry how he has handled this. So a compromise seems unrealistic. Butler has knowledgeable the Warmth that he’ll settle for regardless of the crew decides to do subsequent, whether or not it’s a commerce to any of the 29 different NBA groups or play out the remainder of the season in Miami, in accordance with league sources. -via Miami Herald / January 3, 2025
