Miami Heat
At times, there have been some rumblings about Jimmy Butler and his status with the Miami Heat. Is anyone surprised?
Last week, Butler had a heated discussion with head coach Erik Spoelstra on the sideline. It is not fair to look too deep into one incident, but by the initial looks of it, this is something that might have been brewing. It is strange for it to happen to the team at the top of the Eastern Conference.
A championship is the bar for the Miami Heat. If it does not happen, Pat Riley has no problem blowing it up. Miami acquired Kyle Lowry from the Toronto Raptors last offseason, so they are set at the top of the offense.
A major move could be in store for the Miami Heat in the offseason if they prove unable to pull off a deep playoff run. Donovan Mitchell would be an intriguing target and would be worthy of parting with Tyler Herro in order to get a deal done.

The Miami Heat have been linked to many big names in the past. They are just one of those franchises that are not afraid to make the big move. This has been going on for over a decade now since Dwyane Wade lured LeBron James and Chris Bosh to town. Mitchell could be the next significant acquisition if he is made available.
