Yesterday at 01:47 PM

With all the trade speculation around Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler, team president Pat Riley has released a statement saying that they will not trade the 35-year-old. This came after rumors of the relationship between the Heat and Butler were fractured, which included Riley telling the forward to keep his “mouth shut” back during a May press conference.

“We usually don’t comment on rumors, but all this speculation has become a distraction to the team and is not fair to the players and coaches. Therefore, we will make it clear – We are not trading Jimmy Butler,” Riley said via the statement that was posted to the team’s official X, formerly Twitter, account.
