Tim Bontemps: The argument of “it’s higher to get one thing than nothing” now not applies in at present’s NBA. As we wrote final month, Miami doesn’t wish to be caught with cash it will possibly’t transfer on its books in a Butler commerce. The pliability the LA Clippers created in letting Paul George stroll this summer time marks a viable path for the Warmth — presuming nobody meets their asking value for Butler’s companies.

Extra on this storyline
Tim Bontemps: For all of the noise round a possible Butler commerce, nobody is safer of their seat than Riley in Miami. “You by no means wish to get in a struggle with somebody who has nothing to lose,” one rival govt informed me. “And Pat has nothing to lose.” -via ESPN / January 3, 2025
Brian Windhorst: Riley has lengthy been unafraid to inform his star gamers no. In 2010, when LeBron James hinted he needed Riley to interchange coach Erik Spoelstra, as informed to writer Ian Thomsen within the 2018 e book “The Soul of Basketball,” Riley shut him down within the second. He let Dwyane Wade stroll in a contract dispute. There are lots of different examples over the a long time. This Butler scenario goes to be one other chapter. “The Warmth make errors and typically have points with gamers similar to everybody else,” the GM stated. “However they don’t get pushed round.” -via ESPN / January 3, 2025
Tim Bontemps: A number of sources from across the league who watched the sport thought Butler appeared disengaged. He missed badly on a one-legged nook 3-pointer within the first quarter, didn’t rating till the top of the primary half and had a utilization charge of 12%. -via ESPN / January 3, 2025
