Jimmy Butler wants out of the Miami Heat.

After a surreal, two-minute postgame press conference following the Heat’s 128-115 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Thursday, there’s not much more that can be said about the six-time All-Star. Butler, playing in his second game since five absences due to illness, scored nine points on 3-of-6 shooting, then sat down and criticized his role and his future with the team.

When asked what he wants, Butler didn’t hold back:

When asked if he thought he could recapture that joy in Miami, he responded with just two words: “Probably not.”

It was a tough game all around for Butler, who played a different role than usual in his six seasons with the Heat. Miami was outscored by 27 points in his 27 minutes on the court.

Butler had no warm words for the new role:

He also didn’t seem excited about continuing to play that role with the Heat:

And when he was told that Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra wanted him to play more on the point to become more “activated,” Butler refused:

It was apparently a similar story behind the scenes, as ESPN reported that Butler actually told the Heat that he wanted a trade. He reportedly hasn’t provided a list of preferred destinations and is willing to play anywhere. However, there are no plans for a holdout.

Butler is in the final year of his contract with a $49 million salary and a $52 million player option for next season.

Smoke clouds have been building over Butler’s situation with the Heat for more than a week. There was a report at Christmas that Butler would favor a move away from the Heat before the February deadline, although he had not made a formal request. Heat president Pat Riley strongly rejected the idea, clearly stating in a statement: “We are not trading Jimmy Butler.”

Butler didn’t seem to agree with that, as he basically just shrugged when asked if he wanted to stay with the Heat for the rest of the season. And then, two days later, he told the entire basketball world that he didn’t enjoy the game and didn’t think it could be fixed in Miami.

According to ESPN, the issue centers on Butler’s relationship with Riley, which apparently became strained last spring when Riley announced that Miami would not extend the star’s contract beyond this season. Then, after Butler missed the Heat’s first-round loss to the Boston Celtics last season and suggested Miami would have won with him, Riley said, “If you’re not playing on the court … you should keep your mouth shut.”

Their relationship has reportedly not recovered since then.

It wouldn’t be the first time Butler has sought an exit from a team after deciding his situation wasn’t working, but the Heat always seemed like an ideal partner for the veteran. The results speak for themselves, as the team has reached the playoffs every season with him and the NBA Finals twice. Then again, the Heat fell to 17-15 on Thursday and there wasn’t much reason to expect anything better going forward, especially with Butler playing a role that isn’t working for him.

The NBA trade deadline is February 6th, and Butler just gave teams and fans plenty of reasons to start making their offers.
