That's the reason why Butler lost his joy, I keep telling you it has little to do with what Riley said and more to do with him not getting an extension, the reason they didn't extend him has nothing to do with his play and everything to do with him missing too many games ever year, I posted this once and I'll do it again, since he's been in Miami, he's played 313 games of a possible 444, that equates to 70% of total games played, which means he's missed 3 out of every 10 games since he's been here, sorry Dell but that's just not good enough, you can't have your best player missing 30% of the season every year, before giving him 50M per year, the Heat wanted Butler to prove he can stay healthy, again, it had nothing to do with performance, they were happy with his on court play, they just wanted him to play more games than he's had, for whatever reason Butler was upset at the Heat's approach, he wanted a new contract before the season, so you can keep calling Riley an asshole, you can keep blaming him for what he said during the offseason, but if you think the Heat handled the situation wrong, then you're saying they should have extended him before the season, you're saying they should have made a 50M per year commitment to a player who has missed 30% of the games during his time here, and that's fine, but the Heat didn't want to make that type of commitment, they thought Butler would handle the situation like a professional, he hasn't, he's acted like a child, Riley and the Heat have done nothing wrong, this is all on Butler, we'll have to see things differently
