Will “the incident” reemerge during the offseason?
Before their near NBA Finals playoff berth, there was a huge “incident” that nearly derailed the Miami Heat’s season before the playoffs even started. Toward the end of March, Jimmy Butler and Heat coach Erik Spoelstra got into a“verbal fight” that nearly sent the league on fire.
The Heat did a great job of covering that up and “moving past that.” But I can’t help but wonder if that is going to reemerge in one way this offseason. Are there any lingering feelings that didn’t get resolved from that entire situation?
Because you know that there is probably so much more to that story. All the details probably weren’t released and who knows what took place in that locker room after it happened?
I don’t think it’s something we can entirely sweep under the rug just yet. At the very least, it’s something to keep a close eye on heading into the offseason.
