The 4th championship in team history.This season, the South Beach Army did not perform as expected and returned home early in the first round of the playoffs. However, the team’s number one star, “Master Chief” Jimmy Butler, still mightn’t stop talking and said, “Yes. I fought, all that.” Ertic returns home, and Nick will definitely come home too.”Heat president Pat Riley was angry and said at the press conference: “If there is no fight, it’s better to keep quiet.”
‘Master Chief’ Jimmy Butler is injured and will not participate in this year’s playoffs
Jimmy Butler suffered a right knee ligament injury in the first round of the series and the team failed to play in the game once morest the Celtics. The Heat finally lost to the Celtics 1:4 in the series and challenged “Lao” once more. Ba Legend” was unsuccessful, and Butler’s moves during the ensuing offseason attracted a lot of attention. It is currently unclear whether he will remain with the team.
According to American media, Jimmy Butler has two years left on his contract and he will have player options next summer. However, this offseason he wants to get a two-year extension for a total price of US$113 million (regarding NT$3.68). billion), Heat president Pat Riley said, “This issue has not yet been discussed within the team.”
“ESPN” pointed out that the Heat’s consideration is Jimmy Butler’s attendance rate, although he is the most important player in the team, especially Butler’s performance in the playoffs.He’s regarding to turn 35, and age will also be one of the factors the Heat consider.

Butler is not young, and it is not easy to retire in the Heat. The lesson learned from this is Dwyane Wade.
Butler is already 34 years old. Usually, from this age onwards, players slowly lose their optimal form. Therefore, many teams will be more cautious when offering contracts to star players at this age, especially the Heat. At that time, Riley was too stingy with the Heat’s “team soul” Dwyane Wade, leading Wade to leave the team in frustration.
Wade took the initiative to reduce his salary during his peak period to help the Heat have better salary manipulation space to recruit LeBron James and Chris Bosh to form the “Big Three” lineup. But following being in poor physical condition due to knee problems, Riley did not want to offer him a contract. So he decided to leave the team to join the Chicago Bulls in 2016, when Wade was also 34 years old.
Butler is undoubtedly an iconic figure in the history of the Heat, but his achievements in the team are obviously incomparable with Wade. None of the latter can obtain a “pension contract”. Given Butler’s attendance rate and his age, from the looks of it. , it might be even harder for him to get Riley to pay him obediently.

Pat Riley said of the “arrogant” remarks: “I’m wondering, ‘Is this a Jimmy prank or is this real?’ » If you’re not playing once morest Boston (Celtic) or New York (Knicks), “you better shut up regarding your criticism of those teams.”
