The newest chapter in the Jimmy Butler-Miami Heat trade rumors involves a popular NBA parody account.
It’s never been easier for a post to go viral and, in plenty of cases, mislead its audience into thinking something fake is actually real.
In case you’ve spent the last couple of days living under a rock or stuck in Florida-in-December traffic: Charania reported Tuesday that the Heat are open to listening to trade offers on Butler, who hits unrestricted free agency next summer. Butler’s agent, Bernie Lee, fired back at Charania on Wednesday night and questioned his integrity.
“Statements made regarding the position we have with Jimmy Butler are completely false,” the statement begins. “Some of these rumors have sparked many fraudulent accusations in our front office.”“Don’t believe anything his lying a-- says until it’s actually confirmed,” the last line of the release reads.
