NBA Market: The inevitable is about to happen, and Jimmy Butler is going to leave Miami Heat. The player first leaked that he wanted to leave, and when he saw that Pat Riley said they weren't planning to trade him, he held a press conference to express his sadness and desire to leave. Now the Heat have suspended him, so the countdown begins for his trade before the market closes on February 6th.
"Through his actions and statements, he has shown that he no longer wants to be part of this team," said a statement released by the Heat on Friday night. "Jimmy Butler and his agent have indicated that they want to be traded, therefore, we will listen to offers."
The player will not return to play with the Heat, and for each game missed, he will lose $336,543 or a maximum of 2.35 million according to ESPN. Jimmy is in the final year of his contract with a player option of 52 million. Now it remains to be seen who wants a veteran with many recent physical issues. He will be traded before the NBA Trade Deadline.
