The former NBA star believes trading Jimmy Butler will go down as a worse decision than trading Luka Donsic.
The Miami Heat thought Jimmy Butler was the problem. The franchise felt like it would solve all the problems by trading the former All-Stars. It simply wasn’t.
Butler joined the Warriors in trade and thrived with his new team. Meanwhile, since trade, the heat has been embarrassing and has gone 4-14 in that period.
The Heat coincided with a terrible record from the worst season of all time. One heatstar admitted how disappointing they have been in the past few games.
Kyle Anderson and Andrew Wiggins also claimed they were far from their best. The aftermath of the Butler trade was not kind to them.

Former Mavericks Guard Theopinson spoke to Baja about the deal between Jimmy Butler and Lukadon Sic. He pointed out that Butler’s trade is worse than Donsic’s.
Pinson pointed out that Butler embodies heat culture more than any other star. And the decision to move him left the star heat carrying the team and enforce their culture.
“It’s worse trade than Dallas and the Lakers. Jimmy Butler brought Mother****, regardless of what he thought he was doing in court.”
“He brought me a mentality, I vowed to God.
Pinson’s argument is valid, but there are several reasons why people may oppose him. Although there is no denying how bad Butler’s trade is due to the heat.

The deal between Jimmy Butler and Luka Donsic was under very different circumstances. Butler is a 35-year-old star and didn’t want to be in the heat unless he was paid.
Luka Donsic, meanwhile, loves to play for the Mavericks and is a prominent 25-year-old talent.
Don Sic can change the Lakers’ long-term future, but Butler is unlikely to have as long or as deeply impacted as Don Sic under normal circumstances.
At this point, it’s easy to say which deals are more miserable. However, the heat, unlike the Mavericks, did not mortgage their long-term future by swapping Butlers.
