As the trade odyssey of the Miami Heat and Jimmy Butler continues, there was one moment that came as a shock to some fans of the team and the basketball world. With all the speculation, Heat president Pat Riley released a statement saying bluntly that the team will not be trading Butler which garnered more debate among ESPN analysts.

The Miami Heat have been in the news all season, but not always for the right reasons. The Heat are still in title contention with a core of Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, and Tyler Herro but the man who might not be a part of it is Butler.

Rumors have been swirling for weeks the Heat would potentially move their star forward, but the team president said it will not be happening.
