老吉米·巴特勒的把戏在南海滩再次上演
吉米·巴特勒(Jimmy Butler)已被禁赛七场。在最近的赛后新闻发布会上，他公开表达了对球队使用他的方式的不满。
他还暗示他想要被交易，这在他之前对球队不满时也曾做过。
迈阿密热火总裁帕特·莱利(Pat Riley)，通常不会回应传闻，他最初表示球队不会交易巴特勒。
“我们通常不会对传闻发表评论，但所有这些猜测已经分散了球队的注意力，对球员和教练也不公平。因此，我们要明确表示——我们不会交易吉米·巴特勒。”
热火随后在周五晚上发布了以下声明：
“我们已经对吉米·巴特勒处以七场禁赛的处罚，原因是他本赛季多次出现不利于球队的行为，尤其是在过去几周。通过他的行为和言论，他已经表明他不再想成为这支球队的一员。”
巴特勒在禁赛期间每场估计损失 336,543 美元，总计约 2,355,798 美元。
美国国家篮球运动员协会表示，他们打算提起申诉，称七场禁赛“过分且不恰当”。
与此同时，迈阿密热火改变了立场，正在寻求交易这位六届全明星球员。
巴特勒正处于一份三年 146,396,031 美元合同的第二年，这可能会限制他的市场行情。
2018 年，巴特勒曾试图离开明尼苏达森林狼队。虽然情况和策略相似，但他的年龄和融入球队的能力已今非昔比。
虽然圣安东尼奥马刺不应该对得到巴特勒表现出任何兴趣，但有些球队可以从他的天赋中受益。
如果巴特勒愿意在季后赛走得更远的球队中担任较小的角色，他可以产生影响。但如果他不愿意在迈阿密打替补，其他球队可能不想冒险。
更有可能的是，巴特勒的篮球智商和领导能力可以使一支年轻的球队受益。但话说回来，这正是他最初被带到南海滩的原因。
他和热火两次打进NBA 总决赛，但分别在 2020 年奥兰多复赛园区输给了洛杉矶湖人，以及在 2023 年输给了丹佛掘金。
在 35 岁时，他不太可能在其他球队复制他在迈阿密取得的成功。
留在迈阿密，去一支有竞争力的球队打替补，或者带领一支年轻、渴望胜利的球队。哪种可能性最大，哪种最合适？有没有可能两者兼顾？

Open Thread: Jimmy Butler suspended for seven games
The old Jimmy Buckets antics are on full display in South Beach
Jimmy Butler has been suspended for seven games. He spoke out against the way the team was utilizing him in a recent post game press conference.
He also alluded that he desires to be traded, a move he has made when dissatisfied with a prior franchise.
President of Miami Heat’s Pat Riley, who normally does not address rumors, initially said the team was not looking to trade Butler.
“We usually don’t comment on rumors, but all this speculation has become a distraction to the team and is not fair to the players and coaches. Therefore, we will make it clear — we are not trading Jimmy Butler.”
The Heat consequently released this statement on Friday evening:
“We have suspended Jimmy Butler for seven games for multiple instances of conduct detrimental to the team over the course of the season and particularly the last several weeks. Through his actions and statements, he has shown he no longer wants to be part of this team.”
Butler could lose an estimated $336,543 per game during the suspension, or roughly $2,355,798.
The National Basketball Players Association stated they intend to file a grievance, calling the seven-game suspension “excessive and inappropriate.”
In the meantime, the Miami Heat have changed their stance and are looking to unload the six time All-Star.
Butler is in the second year of a three-year $146,396,031 contract, which may limit the market for his talent.
In 2018, Butler vied for a trade out of Minnesota. While the situation and tactics are similar, his age and ability to fit in with a team are not.
While the San Antonio Spurs should not show any interest in acquiring Butler, there are some teams who could benefit from his talent.
If Jimmy is willing to take a lesser role on a team with a deep playoff run, he could make an impact. But if he is unwilling to play off the bench for Miami, another franchise might not want to take the risk.
More likely, Butler’s basketball IQ and leadership could benefit a young squad. But then again, that was what he was originally brought to South Beach to do.
He and the Heat got to the NBA Finals twice, but came up short against the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2020 Orlando bubble and once again in 2023 against the Denver Nuggets.
At 35, he’s unlikely to match the success he’s had in Miami with another team.
Stay in Miami, head to a contender off the bench, or lead a young, hungry team. Which of these is the most likely and which on is the best fit? Any chance they are on and the same?
