Yes, he has been doing this throughout the whole process. His Camp has been on social media spreading all these rumors throughout the whole time while Butler has been saying he has no idea whats going on. They started this whole hit piece on Riley for over a year now.

Riley and Arison wasnt angry for no damn reason. The whole "unhingded" "crying" and "Butler said it to Riley face", keywords is to stoke up flames by his Media team.

I’m curious to see who comes up though, if we can just cut Keshad to add a good piece we need to do it

Why? This team isn't winning anything. Keep all the young guys. Evaluate them the rest of the season. Make decisions about who we keep in the offseason.

We got Keshad locked up for pennies. Burks would be the one bought out but only if he ask for one and Klutch has him lined up on a contender offering more playing time.

Do not be confused. His PR/Social Media team does the dirty work so he can say he never said that.



Plausible deniability is the act of denying responsibility for an action or statement by claiming a lack of knowledge or intent. It's often used by high-ranking officials to avoid blame for unpopular.

The speaker avoids keeping records of instructions or avoids direct communication so it's impossible to trace who was responsible.


Yeah the Phoenix stuff they we're putting out for sure.

This stuff about Riles crying? I mean I wouldn't put it past them but it makes him look bad not Riley lol whatevs who cares about this tele novela garbage lets just get to playing ball and grab that 4th or 5th seed.

Its not for the older crowd who knows the history. Its for the younger social media crowd who are looking for something to poke each other about and to bring people down to create any interaction and traction on social media. Butler knows most young social media crowd today do not know much of anything about Riley, and the Heat do not use social media like that. Butler is trying to make his own public image to the newer generation who does like the chaos for likes. He is playing the chaos game that makes money on social media.

Still only 21. Can’t pass up on a developmental prospect for free who plays PG with this type of size and length.

Jimmy and his people have shown themselves to be liars multiple times throughout this whole thing. Why start believing them now when he still pretends that money wasn't why he was doing it? Be happy this fool is no longer poisoning this team and aren't stuck for two more years paying him.

Ware didn’t play with JHS and there’s a reason he got cut by a young rebuilding Jazz team

Will need to drop Stevens. They are keeping Dru Smith on it so he gets paid. Unless Burks is bought out and they sign Christopher. Probably easiest path is to drop Stevens.

Yeah they have like a bunch of young guards already and no roster space. Most notably Isiah Collier. Some of these guys get lost in the shuffle

There's clearly not enough championship caliber depth on that team to make it past the first round.
