PORTLAND, Ore. – First the reasoning, at least the external perspective.
The Miami Heat balked at offering Jimmy Butler a maximum extension because at his age (35), recent history of missed games, and indifference to the regular season.
Certainly a reasonable stance.
But then the Heat, who could not have been more public in announcing they were open for trades, balked at the quality of offers because they were not believed to be commensurate for a player of Butler’s value.
Wait, what?
To that end, it would seem that any potential Butler landing spot eventually would stand as a land of confusion.
What we seemingly have here is a player not valued by the Heat to the degree that the player values himself, but also valued by the Heat as a prime asset on the trade market.
Again, wait, what?
The Heat, when given the opportunity to extend paper and pen for an extension, resisted at the cost of doing such business.

If you’re anything like me, you’ll have piles of messages that have been accumulating in your inbox: receipts, bank and credit card statements, mobile phone bills, plane tickets, restaurant bookings, reminders, security warnings, spam and more.
Mixed in with all that administrative detritus might be some personal missives from friends and family that are worth keeping.
