This was said by Miami Heat president Pat Riley. Jimmy Butler and Miami were the perfect starting points.
Last season, the Miami Heat lost to the Boston Celtics in the first round of the playoffs with a 1-4 record. Jimmy Butler didn't play properly in the aftermath of his injury.
After the series, Butler told local media that `If I had been there, I would have won a complete victory over Boston.'
In fact, Miami has given Boston a lot of painful upsets. It was because of Butler, who activated Crazy Mode in the playoffs. Boston ace Jason Tatum won an incredible playoff series victory with a complete victory.
However, Miami President Pat Riley's response was different. "If you didn't play, you should keep your mouth shut." he criticized.
Jimmy Butler's relationship with Miami is virtually over. Miami placed Butler as a trade target. Recently, it was withdrawn again, but now Butler's trade is inevitable.
CBS Sports in the U.S. issued a seven-game suspension to Jimmy Butler for committing harmful behavior to the team on the 6th (Korea time). He said he would actively accept the trade offer,' the report said.
Butler played 25 minutes against New Orleans on the 1st and attempted only five shots. He also played 27 minutes and made six shots against Indiana the next day. There was a shot opportunity, but he made a 'Tae-Hwa-Sung Play'. It was an unspoken protest against Miami.
