Very discreet in the media since his defeat in the NBA Finals, Jimmy Butler is much more talkative with his relatives, especially about the Heat offseason. But a friend of the player could not hold his tongue, and drives Miami fans to fantasies.
Each offseason causes its share of questions, whether concerning the favorites for the title, but also the possible transfers that could occur. The 2020-21 fiscal year slightly upsets the codes, since it is more logistical and even salary issues that generate the most concern in the offices of the league.
Traditions are not lost, however, since rumors about trades are always as numerous. A destination very popular with players, Miami logically sees its name mentioned in some of them. Recruits would also surely be needed to take the path again to the NBA Finals.
For the time being, only the file of a member of the workforce at the end of the contract, and who would have recently changed his mind about his future, keeps fans of the franchise in suspense. Fortunately, an unusual insider has come to rekindle the flame at home, none other than former NFL star Chad Johnson, a big fan of the Heat.
After conversing with Jimmy Butler we are making a huge splash via trade but I’m sworn to secrecy but I’m excited for my Heat this upcoming season

After talking to Jimmy Butler, I can tell you we’re going to make a huge hit via a trade, but I promised to keep it a secret. Anyway, I’m excited for my Heat and for the coming season.
Some might question the value of such testimony from Ocho Cinco. This last, through his strong relationship with Butler, however, is trustworthy, and would not publicly pitch lies on his behalf. But what could be the nature of the exchange that he mentions in his tweet?
For now, only one big name in the league is regularly sent to South Beach, namely Jrue Holiday. Pat Riley and his deputies would even ready to sacrifice an important player from last season’s run to recover the rear of the Pelicans. This rumor doesn’t really sound like a “huge blow,” however, and so perhaps serves as a smokescreen to cover up another much larger trade on the Heat side.
Either way, Chad Johnson single-handedly set the Heat Nation in turmoil with a simple tweet. Miami fans just have to pull the worms out of her to know the underside of the famous trade.
