This season, the contract renewal farce of Heat President Pat Riley and Jimmy Butler once became a laughing stock in the entire league.
Riley, who is used to being strong in normal times, actually encountered a tough guy this time. During the game between the two sides, even if Riley issued a ban ticket, Butler refused to bow to the other party, which led to Riley being able to trade the "disobedient" Butler in the end.
After Butler joined the Warriors, the atmosphere in the Heat locker room became very strange. Many people knew that Butler was forced away by Riley, but they did not dare to stand up and speak for Butler.
In the first round of this year's playoffs, when the Heat fell behind the Cavaliers 0-3 in the total score, Herro finally couldn't help but speak. He said in an interview: "If Butler didn't leave, the Heat would definitely not be completely suppressed by the Cavaliers."
In the eyes of many NBA executives, Herro's remarks were challenging Riley in disguise, but what was unexpected was that Riley not only did not care about Herro this time, but instead wanted to give in (preparing to renew Herro's contract at a high price).
Source comes from ESPN famous reporter Bobby Marks: Riley is planning to renew Herro this summer with a three-year contract worth nearly $150 million.
According to statistics, Hero can average 23.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 5.5 assists in the regular season this season, with a shooting percentage of 47.2% and a three-point shooting percentage of 37.5%; in the playoffs, Hero has shrunk many of his data, and he can average only 17.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 41.5% and a three-point shooting percentage of 31.0%.
