When the Miami Heat landed Jimmy Butler this past summer, the word was that they had done so in part by promising the superstar wingman that they would be looking to add another star and/or pieces that would definitely go towards ensuring that they competed for titles early and often during the tenure that he had signed up for.
While we didn’t exactly know how that would go about manifesting itself, especially with the way that the Miami Heat’s salary situation and books were set up, it’s a safe bet to believe it if Pat Riley has said it.
