If the two parties fail to reach a consensus on their differences on this point, breaking up will actually be a matter of time, but the follow-up is the art of breaking up.
I really have to say something for Butler in this part. His uneasiness has its own context, whether it is sharing worries or excessive power. In short, the Heat are indeed slowly transferring the ball. Tyler Herro and Ade Bam Adebayo has had a higher “USG%” than Butler for two consecutive years. This year, the team’s offensive system has become a dual-core trend and it is even more obvious. Master Chief’s playing time, number of shots and average points per game are all ranked first in his career. At a new low after three seasons, it is a reasonable concern to think that the changes in the team will damage the value.
But on the other hand, excluding those two bad games, Butler’s field goal percentage, eFG% and offensive rebounds have all reached career highs. This also means that he does have better support, and no one will doubt that he is the number one player. , especially his status in the playoffs. If these can exchange for his more abundant physical fitness in the playoffs and the team’s overall better combat effectiveness, this is not another way to consolidate or even increase his worth, so that he can win the championship no matter what the team is now. A way to get a maximum salary when the chances are slim, both inside and outside the team?
These foreseeable team changes, in fact, Dwyane Wade, the president of the University and the Heat, who was on the same team with Butler in the Bulls and was one of the reasons that prompted him to go to Miami, had long predicted that he would have to wait for his younger brother. Be prepared to adjust your mentality as early as possible.
Wade said earlier, “Butler needs to figure out this team this year and how he is going to be the best version of this team.”
“Roles change and you have to find that role and now we’re looking at a team finding itself and Butler has to find his role on this year’s team. It’s not the same as his first year here. The personnel is different. Same, he’s different, he’s older, he’s got more mileage, but he’s smarter than ever as a basketball player.”
Unfortunately, this is not the ideal version of the team in Butler’s mind. Five and a half years ago, he mentioned that he was very happy in the Heat because this team made him feel “needed” and “valued.” Why? The reason why Butler will continue to cause trouble with the 76ers in the Timberwolves is that he is eager to become the focus and number one star of the team. No matter how reasonable it is from a long-term perspective for the team to start transferring the ball rights to young people, Butler still believes that It’s not time for him to step back, and this will harm his own worth.
Butler actually has more and better ways to communicate. By maximizing his worth and leveraging the power of the team, he can leave the Heat and earn as close to the maximum salary as possible. No matter how bad it is, it won’t be the current lose-lose quagmire. .
But no matter what, Butler decided to take the bull by the horns, starting from the little tricks and quibbles on his head: he kept dyeing his hair color similar to the color of the rumored trading team, but pretended to be stupid and dumped the blame on his daughter, “My daughter chose “Purple, so I also chose purple, and she will choose the color tonight too”; to the tragic drama of openly asking for a trade, and obviously trying to save effort on the court to play, but still insisting that he has always been serious and cannot accept being slandered.
