Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra dismissed trade rumors involving Jimmy Butler, saying it’s a narrative he doesn’t care about.
The trade rumors involving Jimmy Butler are getting louder by the day.
ESPN’s Shams Charania has reported that the Miami Heat are “open to listening to offers for Butler and making a deal if the proposal is right.”
But Heat coach isn’t too keen on hearing these trade rumors.
"It's been our best, most consistent stretch of the season. So anything else, any other narrative, I don't care. Nobody should, because most of this stuff has just been all like a bunch of gibberish,” said Spoelstra.
