“Heat Culture” can officially be considered dead and buried. This is a gigantic embarrassment

Butler needs to retire. You never go full Ben Simmons and it's pretty pathetic.

The whole thing was always a construct. This is a team that extended Dion Waiters and Whiteside.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

This is getting ridiculous on both sides. Just trade him already. Riley trying to get legit impact players in return for an old disgruntled player on an expiring contract when everyone knows the situation is ridiculous

And make no mistake I'm not defending Butler - he's a tool and a clown. But his value is only plummeting by the day. This is not a 29 year old Butler. Riley needs to cut his losses already

You're not getting a good offer when there is only 1 known team who wants to pay him the max.

This situation is just weird because we all know it's either PHX or maybe a team like Memphis makes the gamble just for a playoff push.

Miami has nobody to blame this is who Jimmy has always been.

How so? Holding someone accountable is an embarrassment?
