In his current standoff with the Heat front office ( read: Pat Riley ), Miami attempted to avoid the “burn everything down” portion by suspending Butler seven games for conduct detrimental to the team ( read: attempting to force a trade ).

Butler’s seven-game suspension by the Heat for conduct they deemed to be detrimental to the team is now over and he returned to the Heat lineup for the first time in two weeks, scoring 18 points in Miami’s 133-113 loss to the Denver Nuggets.

The Suns would receive Butler, Richaun Holmes, and Josh Richardson, the Heat would receive Beal, Ryan Dunn, and a 2031 first-round pick swap, and the Wizards would receive Duncan Robinson in Bitar’s three-team trade proposal.
