Miami Heat
Drama is afoot in South Beach regarding Jimmy Butler as his camp and the head office try to get their stories straight.
Pat Riley uncharacteristically broke his silence to state the Heat were NOT going to trade Butler. This was in response to Butler’s camp stating he would prefer to be traded before the deadline.
Stay tuned for more action as it sure feels like he will end up moving when it’s all said and done.

With Butler out the Heat are already at a disadvantage, particularly with how Quin Snyder has his squad playing. It’s reminiscent of how he got the Jazz to play when he was in Utah but this time the emphasis is more on offense.
Suffice to say I’ll roll with the Hawks to win and cover the small spread
