The Miami Heat reportedly suspended embattled forward Jimmy Butler on Wednesday evening after missing a team flight. Heat fans were, shall we say, not too pleas

The Miami Heat and Jimmy Butler are engaged in a standoff ahead of the NBA trade deadline. Butler has requested a trade off the Heat, and while Miami initially said no, they eventually suspended him for seven games and said they'd listen to offers. Their latest move involving Butler further supports the notion that he will be traded soon.

And, unlike Jimmy Butler, you can’t just say, “No comment” whenever they want to talk about something. The Miami Heat are in uncharted waters relative to how they often operate. They went through a somewhat similar situation with Dwyane Wade from 2014-2016.
