After a months-long saga that included multiple team suspensions—and trade requests—the Miami Heat dealt Jimmy Butler to the Golden State Warriors ahead of the NBA trade deadline in February. On Tuesday, Butler will take the court for the Warriors against the Heat in his first game in Miami since the drama and blockbuster deal unfolded.
And Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, understandably, was in no mood to discuss the "emotions" of the upcoming game against the Warriors while speaking to reporters before the contest. Immediately after he sat down at the podium, Spoelstra was asked a Butler question.
