...gotta be related to the Butler deal...

After reading some of the comments, it appears some Heat fans believe they dumped a more odorous contract to make room for Butler than they were trying to dump with Dragic.

The problem still exists for the sign/trade with Philly because contracts have to match closely.

I thought all they had to do was clear the cap space

They do. That problem is resolved by the Whiteside trade. Because of the fact that Jimmy will make close to 30m this season and Richardson will make close to 10m this season, the NBA doesn’t allow it. This is why another team has to be involved...to get that # closer to the 30m.

So how is Jimmy going to adjust to losing in Miami

So I guess it was him and Dragic (at 19 and change) that they need to move.

This is really disappointing. I was looking forward to Butler having to play with that knucklehead.

[McCarthy12]

Me too. But there's still Dion Waiters...

Done now...Richardson is a Sixer.


I like this team a lot. Now they need to sign Ennis, IMO.
