The Miami Heat believe Boston is beatable and that they can still contend without Jimmy Butler, per @sportsreiter Miami would want a win-now piece in any trade involving Butler because they have no plans to rebuild. “In internal deliberations, the Heat concluded they would want a key piece to help them win now in any deal that sent Butler away from Miami. ‘We don't do rebuilds,’ one source quipped. The Heat operate, even now as Butler looks to force his way to any other NBA team, under the idea they are a real contender. They believe avoiding the Play-In Tournament is critical. They acknowledge the Celtics are the East' best team but don't view them as unbeatable. They point out, as they have for years, their track record of playoff success post-LeBron came when most around the NBA doubted their chances, as they do today.” (Via bit.ly/4gEGGna)

@ChefTrillie But Jimmy hasn’t been a role player in almost a decade I don’t see the point you’re making

@dipri31 @JohnJablonka_ Whatever helps you cope at night. 11 years counting and not a chance in sight. Y’all’s drought gone be longer than the bulls. Looking forward to your first round exit this year then Jimmy imploding your locker room next year while you pay him 50mil. Tyler herro lead team coming🤣

@bloodypontiac @DrovsThaWorld @ChefTrillie You’ll have plenty of time to be watching and hoping considering you won’t be getting out the first round then you’ll be stuck paying Jimmy 50 million dollars while he implodes your locker room
