Some Heat notes on a Friday:

▪ The view here is that the Heat is showing smart restraint by not succumbing to Minnesota’s immense compensation demands for Minnesota’s Jimmy Butler.

As ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Zach Lowe reported, Minnesota is seeking “quality veterans, top prospects, future assets and salary-cap relief, which is presently too steep of a package for interested teams” and as of Thursday, “there has been no team close to willing to meet Tom Thibodeau’s massive return for a Butler deal. “


The Heat cannot offer cap relief, and it’s prudent not to offer a package includes many of their top assets: Josh Richardson, Goran Dragic, Justise Winslow, Bam Adebayo, Kelly Olynyk. Trading one of those (though not Richardson), a draft pick and another contract? That’s reasonable. But dealing multiple players among those assets and a first-round pick to a team with no great leverage in this situation? I’ll pass.

Spurs traded George Hill fora prospect Kawhi Leonard. A Josh Richardson should not be the sticking point of any deal. I'm starting to believe we're fake trading so that when it "falls through" the fanbase thinks the team tried to do something.

The narrative has been that MIN is being unreasonable in what they want for Butler. I wouldn't be surprised if we have offered JRich and they just want more.
