An inside look at Jimmy Butler’s last days in Miami before the team and player finally pushed each other away for good.

Like Butler, whose father died last February, Riley lost his father when he was relatively young. Sources tell The Athletic that tears welled in Riley’s eyes as he spoke to Butler about that subject, attempting to connect with him on a human level and repair their fractured relationship during a two-hour meeting.

The clash pits perhaps the NBA's most disgruntled superstar against a franchise that won't bend to his will. And everyone in the NBA is watching.

Either one side bends or a broken relationship will continue as Thursday’s NBA trading deadline approaches for Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat.

With the 2024-25 NBA Trade Deadline nearing, there’s rampant speculation about who could be moved and where. Indeed, the rumor mill has churned out plenty of news about Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler‘s playing future.

With only a few hours remaining before the NBA trade window comes to a close, it is high time that the Miami Heat finds a franchise for Jimmy Butler.

The Jimmy Butler era has come to an end in Miami.The Heat have agreed to trade Butler to the Warriors for Andrew Wiggins, Dennis Schroder, Kyle Anderson and a protected first round pick, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.
