Riley refutes report of profanity directed at Thibodeau

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Miami Heat and Minnesota Timberwolves nearly agreed on a trade for Jimmy Butler last weekend. Minnesota “moved to amend the framework of the deal” after sharing Butler’s medical information with the Heat, typically a last move in trade discussions.

What did Pat Riley say when he heard that Minnesota wanted to change the proposed trade at the last minute?

ESPN’s Jorge Sedano, who got his start in local Miami sports radio, said that Riley used a common profanity to Minnesota’s Tom Thibodeau.
