Jimmy Butler expressed a desire to rediscover the joy of playing basketball, hinting at a potential trade from the Miami Heat. The star player's performance has been inconsistent, and he's reportedly communicated his trade wishes to the team.
Jimmy Butler - The Canadian Presssays he needs to find joy again on the basketball court. And when asked if he can find that joy in Miami, he had a two-word answer.The relationship between Butler and the Heat — a talking point for weeks now — seems to have further deteriorated. The Heat lost to Indiana 128-115 on Thursday night, Butler scoring exactly nine points and playing exactly zero seconds in the fourth quarter for the second consecutive game.
Thursday's game was, obviously, not a typical Butler performance. He spent many possessions largely camped in the corner on offense and took only six shots in 27 minutes; he took five shots from the floor on Wednesday. Heat coach Butler said he felt like he was focused and that he did his job Thursday, adding “or at least, what my job is now.”
Butler has not reached double figures in scoring in three consecutive games, the first time that's happened since November 2013. He was scoreless against Oklahoma City on Dec. 20, leaving midway through the first quarter because of a twisted ankle and an illness.
