Whatever angle you prefer, the point is today was “supposed” to be his return.
The Heat have once again suspended Jimmy Butler, for a 3rd time, and this one is indefinitely.
The reason for this latest decision?
I mean good grief Jimmy Butler, would it kill you to be a professional?
He’s been nothing but a negative both on and off the floor for weeks now.
Why should his starting spot be set in stone?
Just because he’s Jimmy Butler?
They tried to bring him back like nothing happened the first time, and how did that go?
What choice does the team have in this instance?
You unfortunately only have the $52M player option remaining after this season.
Now while that says “indefinitely” we all know what that means.
It just means until the trade deadline when Butler is no longer a member of the Miami Heat.
If you have to “lose” the trade, so be it.
Get assets and move on.
Imagine they don’t trade him though and instead just sit him for the rest of the year?
Does the league office step in?
I feel like that’s uncharted waters so part of me hopes we see it.
