This season, the highlight team of last year's Finals, the Miami Heat, fell into an unexpected slump. With a 25-23 record, they barely managed to make it to the seventh place in the East. This was a disappointment for the fans, however, for the Heat, the counterattack seems to have become a tradition, a habit of challenging fate. Last season, they made it from the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs to the Finals, creating an incredible feat.
Although the team's current record is not satisfactory, this has not dampened the confidence of fans in the Heat's counterattack. Some say that the Heat are the best at making their mark the tougher the situation, and it seems that the tougher the situation, the stronger they are. This was amply demonstrated in last season's performances. From the Eastern Black Eight to the Finals, the Heat counterattacked all the way and shocked the entire league.
However, the reality needs to be confronted. Keyboard hero MVP Perkins gave his thoughts on the current state of the Heat, calling for no further delay in Butler's few primes. Butler, 34, is still averaging 21 per game, although his performance this season has declined compared to the past4 points 52 plates 44 Assist 12 breaks, the comprehensive data is still bright. What's even more amazing is that his three shooting percentages are achieved separately. 7% and 879%, almost close to the 180 club. Butler has always been a player who lies flat in the regular season and plays his true strength in the playoffs, especially in key moments, he can always show extraordinary fighting ability and become the favorite player of the championship team.
However, in the face of rising age and a series of failures, some voices believe that Butler should consider seizing the tail of his peak and quickly switching to a team that can compete for a championship in order to better challenge for a championship. The rumors swirled amid reports that the Heat were willing to listen to Butler and ask for at least three unprotected first-round picks. While this is considered fake news, the appeal to Butler is really not negligible.
As for Butler's possible whereabouts, there have been speculations from all walks of life. Among them, the Knicks, Philadelphia and Kings are in the top three. The Knicks have made their mark this season and currently sit firmly at the top of the standings in third place in the East. With eight first-round picks in hand, they have enough chips to make any big-name trade. Knicks coach Thibodeau was Butler's mentor, and their chemistry and history of cooperation have created a wonderful future for them to work together. Therefore, it is not for nothing that the Knicks are the first odds to become Butler's new next home, but based on the potential prospect of cooperation between the two parties.
Despite the Knicks' recent winning streak that climbed to third place in the East, fans are still questioning whether they can be a true championship contender. Because the team lacks a superstar like Butler who can play a key role in the playoffs. Although Butler has led the Heat to the Finals twice in the past few seasons, they are one step away from a championship without adequate support.
Faced with this reality, time waits for no one, and successive failures and a gradual rise in age make Butler have to think carefully about his future. Now that the big cities of New York are inviting again, the Knicks are far more financially and competitive than the current Heat. At this critical juncture, Butler must seize the opportunity and not let the desire for a championship be held back by so-called loyalty.
During this period, rumors were rife and the future of the Heat was full of unknowns. However, the most important thing for fans is that they want the team to make decisions that are in the best interest of the team and Butler, and no matter what the outcome, they want to see Butler continue to shine in the league and bring more exciting performances to the basketball world.
