GO DEEPER Pat Riley on recent reports: Heat ‘will not trade Jimmy Butler’ Whether Butler’s long-term future extends beyond the Heat and to teams like the Warriors, Rockets, Suns or Mavericks relies just as much on sound trade packages as any perceived leveraging in the background. GO DEEPER Heat Today: Jimmy Butler trade rumors swirl, but Heat history with star exits signals waiting game Whatever the case, the bigger picture is still unfolding for Miami and Butler, even as the team takes a day-by-day approach to its star’s future and simply winning games.
