Ex-NBA Player Weighs In On Jimmy Butler And Miami Heat Dispute
The drama between Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat is intensifying with each passing day. Recently, Butler openly expressed his desire for a trade during an interview. Following his comments, the Heat suspended him for seven games.
Although Butler returned to the court for the game against the Denver Nuggets, which ended in a 113-133 loss, he showed no excitement during the team introductions. In light of this situation, former NBA player Victor Oladipo shared his thoughts on the Butler-Heat saga during a recent interview on “Triple Threat” on CBS Sports.
“Jimmy is just doing what Jimmy does. I don’t think this a shocker to anyone who’s viewed his career and how he’s carried himself… I just hope he finds his joy 1 and 2 end on good terms,” Oladipo said.
