Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler reacted to agent defending him over trade speculation by Shams Charania
Miami Heat superstar Jimmy Butler has entered the ongoing beef between agent Bernie Lee and ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania.Lee ripped Charania on X this week as the latter reported the latest trade rumors regarding Butler’s future in Miami. Of note, Lee called Charania’s reporting “fabricated” and questioned his credibility as a journalist.“I f—— love it,” Butler said. “I love it, I am all for the back and forth.
It’s been a busy week for Butler, who scored 11 points in Thursday’s 114-104 victory over the Toronto Raptors. Trade rumors have taken attention away from the Heat’s four-game winning streak. Charania reported the Dallas Mavericks, Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets, and Phoenix Suns could all be suitors for Butler. He hits unrestricted free agency next summer.
Butler didn’t fire back at Charania when he spoke with reporters. He’d rather everyone know he appreciates Lee having his back during an uncomfortable time.After a slow start, the Heat have now won four straight. Even the wins keep piling, it is likely the trade rumors slow down. Jake Elman works as a contributing writer to Miami Heat on SI.
