Live news on August 16th: According to Shams’ report today, the Heat has traded Heat’s Hayes and a second-round pick in 2032 to the Nets in exchange for a protected second-round pick in 2026 (the draft pick is protected from 31-55).
After hearing the news, Dream11 notified Butler on Instagram, “Jimbo, look what you’ve done!”
Butler replied to Dream11, “Don’t blame me for this. It’s not my fault. Don’t disturb my beautiful summer vacation.”
In January this year, the Heat informed Butler that Hayes would replace his starting position. After hearing this, Butler left the team’s shooting practice and was subsequently suspended indefinitely by the Heat.
