Pat Riley finally landed an all-star this off-season in Jimmy Butler. After landing Butler, the Miami Heat’s focus now is pairing him with another all-star. To aide the Heat in their quest, Heat fans have been taking matters into their own hands through social media.
For the past three seasons, we’ve heard Jimmy Butler get called anything but a great leader. The national media painted Butler as a cancer to teammates, particularly younger players. However, New Orleans Pelicans guard J.J. Redick told Zach Lowe on his podcast that he doesn’t buy that narrative. Despite playing with Butler for less than one full season with the Philadelphia 76ers, the veteran guard had plenty of time to learn about Butler as a teammate.
There’s been a lot of optimism surrounding the Miami Heat this off-season. Not only because of the new addition of all-star forward Jimmy Butler but also because of Bam Adebayo. By trading Hassan Whiteside to Portland, the Heat are showing they fully believe in Adebayo. Another person who’s also very high on Adebayo is Chris Bosh.
ESPN’s Get Up! host Jalen Rose sees a bright future for the Miami Heat. At a recent golf event, Jalen Rose spoke with the Palm Beach Post’s Chris Nelsen Miami’s offseason moves. Rose believes the Heat have something up their sleeve.

After acquiring both Jimmy Butler and Tobias Harris during the 2018-19 season, the Philadelphia 76ers believed they had a great shot at an NBA championship.

Former Miami Heat star Chris Bosh believes the Heat could be a top-three team in the Eastern Conference if they acquired Russell Westbrook.
Last summer, DeMarcus Cousins gambled on himself by accepting the Golden State Warriors’ $5.3 million mid-level exception in hopes of receiving a big payday this summer. After missing most of this past regular season recovering from his Achilles injury, Cousins returned and played in 30 regular season games. While clearly not in all-star form, Cousins was serviceable as the fourth option on a star-studded Warriors team. During the regular season, he averaged 16.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks in 25.7 minutes per game.
It appears the Miami Heat will finally land a star by acquiring Jimmy Butler through a sign and trade. So far, the team will be sending guard Josh Richardson to the Philadelphia 76ers and the Heat will try to move Goran Dragic to a third team. Once the Butler trade is finalized, the Heat will try to land another star. One name that’s been thrown around is Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal.
The Philadelphia 76ers emerged as the mystery team in the Al Horford sweepstakes, signing the free agent big man to a four-year, $109 million deal, writes Andersen Pickard.
Assuming they can find an additional trade partner, the Philadelphia 76ers and Miami Heat are expected to finalize a sign-and-trade involving Jimmy Butler, writes Andersen Pickard.
An important off-season awaits Jimmy Butler, who is an unrestricted free agent. While he hasn’t ruled out a return to the Philadelphia 76ers, the free agent forward will have a conversation with the Miami Heat and the Houston Rockets.
