The Miami Heat and Pat Riley caught a lot of flack when they suspended star Jimmy Butler for what they termed as "conduct detrimental to the team." It prompted a complaint from the NBA Player's Association but former Heat great Tim Hardaway says the organization has proof the action was warranted.

The Golden State Warriors appear to have made a major Jimmy Butler trade decision as he looks to leave the Miami Heat.

Butler’s current suspension stems from escalating tensions between him and the Miami Heat organization. This incident comes amid an already tumultuous season, as Butler publicly requested a trade and expressed dissatisfaction with the Heat’s direction.
