Jimmy Butler's desire to force a trade out of Miami is costing him some serious dough.
According to Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald, Butler's most recent two-game suspension—which brings his number of suspended games up to nine for the 2024-25 season—will cost him $3.1 million in lost salary.
He added, however, that Butler "could still get some (or even most) of that back depending on the result of grievances filed through the NBPA."
While you contemplate him losing more money for a pair of suspensions than the average person will make in a lifetime, Butler may want to take some time contemplating whether there's a less expensive way to put pressure on Miami to trade him this season.
