Heat Looking For Win Now Players On Short Term Contracts In Jimmy Butler Trade - RealGM Wiretap
The Miami Heat are trying to thread a pretty complicated needle in any potential Jimmy Butler trade. Miami wants to remain a playoff team, but the Heat also do not want to take on long-term money in a Butler trade.
Miami wants to make the playoffs this season, so that their first-round draft pick will convey to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2025 NBA Draft. If that pick does not convey, it will roll over to the 2026 draft with no protections. That will then force the Heat to give the Charlotte Hornets an unprotected first-round pick in the 2028 draft. If the Heat convey the pick to the Thunder this year, they owe the Hornets a lottery-protected pick in 2027.
In addition, Pat Riley and the Miami front office is looking to create salary flexibility in a Butler deal. The Heat are looking to players in the offseason free agent of trade market in either the summer of 2025 or the summer of 2026. That's why Miami is reluctant to take back long-term money in a potential Butler deal.Cowboys Hire Brian Schottenheimer As Head Coach

Boston Heat Sensors Reveal Uneven Impacts and Gaps in Emergency PlanningNewly released data from climate sensors across Boston shows that some neighborhoods experienced dangerous heat levels days before the city's official heat advisory, raising concerns about emergency planning preparedness. The findings, presented by a team of researchers, local organizations, and city officials, highlight disparities in heat exposure across the city and the need for more targeted interventions. The B-COOL project, a collaboration between various organizations, installed the sensors to better understand heat patterns and vulnerabilities. While prior heat mapping projects identified hotter areas, this data provides more detailed information about the duration and intensity of heat exposure. Researchers discovered that certain neighborhoods, like Dorchester, faced heat advisory temperatures for extended periods, exceeding the city's official declaration. Furthermore, even within neighborhoods, there are variations in temperature, with some pockets experiencing cooler temperatures. These findings will inform future investment strategies and improve communication with residents in vulnerable areas. City officials plan to enhance heat advisory protocols and provide more accessible information to residents, particularly in communities disproportionately affected by extreme heat.
