Pat Riley Opens Up About the 'Jimmy Butler Case': "I Would Have Handled It Differently"

The relationship between Miami Heat and their star, Jimmy Butler, is broken. The Florida franchise will trade their player before the trade deadline in February.

In recent years, the situation between Butler and Pat Riley, president of the Heat, has deteriorated to the point where they can't even stand each other.

On the LeBatard Show with Dan LeBatard, Riley opened up about everything happening with Butler, admitting initially that he would have "handled it differently. No doubt."

Nevertheless, Pat Riley added that players owe something to the teams while under contract: "As players, you have to give the Heat what is truly yours as well. I have explained this to them: while you have a contract here, you owe us something. It's in your collective bargaining agreement. So never take it lightly, and we have a very cooperative group of people."
