During his end-of-season press conference on Friday, Miami Heat president Pat Riley addressed the Jimmy Butler trade, a potential Tyler Herro contract extension and where the team that finished 10th in the East will go from here.

There’s a photo that Miami Heat president Pat Riley keeps in his office. It’s of Jimmy Butler, exhausted in Game 5 of the 2020 NBA Finals, catching his breath while slumped over a barrier that surrounded the court at Walt Disney World.

Pat Riley’s memories of Jimmy Butler are still fond.
