The Miami Heat’s season has become more about what’s going on off the basketball court than what’s occurring on it. Jimmy Butler‘s circumstances in Miami have rapidly gotten worse, and the Heat star has now formally asked to be traded out of Miami. Regarding this matter, former Heat player Kevin Love also chimed in with a bit of humor
Heat guard Kevin Love made fun of Butler with a funny Instagram post after his trade request was officially approved. Naturally, Butler’s outrageous hairstyle on the media day before the 2023–24 season is the source of the joke. Love took advantage of Butler’s seven-game suspension to make fun of his soon-to-be ex-teammate.
Jimmy Butler has averaged 17.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game in 22 games this season. The veteran Heat star is now frequently a spectator on both ends of the court. Because he is shooting only roughly 10 shots per game and not even trying two 3-pointers every night. This is one of the reasons why the Heat have opted against renewing Butler’s contract.
All eyes now shift to which team will try to sign the Heat star before the trade market deadline. If Butler is traded in the coming weeks, he might end up with the Denver Nuggets, Phoenix Suns, or Golden State Warriors. In their quest to return to the Western Conference playoff picture, Butler is also interested in the Sacramento Kings.
Kevin ‘Love-s’ Cleveland but is ‘Heat Lifer’
The center Kevin Love has played for the Minnesota Timberwolves, Miami Heat, and Cleveland Cavaliers. This was during his remarkable 17-year NBA career. He has consistently averaged 16.3 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game. This is over 945 regular-season games, demonstrating his versatility and dependability. Most recently, he made a decision that won over the Heat fanbase.
On an Instagram post, Kein Love replied to a fan in the comments, “Love my Cleveland people but I’m a Heat Lifer now!” This comes as a surprise to many NBA fans. This is because, in addition to winning the Most Improved Player title, he was instrumental in helping the Cleveland Cavaliers win the 2016 NBA Championship.

His accomplishments, which highlight his skill and impact on the court, include five All-Star selections. He has been an important player for whichever side he has featured in the NBA. That said, Love seems to have made his decision clear regarding his preferred NBA side in the league: the Miami Heat.
