Prominent NBA agent makes blunt statement about Jimmy Butler's moves in trade saga - Source: Imagn
Jimmy Butler's trade saga has reached its boiling point with his official trade request to the Miami Heat. ESPN insider Brian Windhorst claimed that an anonymous prominent NBA agent offered a stern warning to the six-time All-Star concerning the Heat's long-serving President Pat Riley.
According to Windhorst, this prominent agent told him that despite his recent official formal request, he couldn't intimidate the Heat President. Pat Riley has been known to operate in an unorthodox style that always chooses the affairs of the organization before the needs of any star player.
"You cannot intimidate Pat Riley," the agent said.
Furthermore, Tim Bontemps of ESPN also claimed that a rival NBA executive asserted that it is futile to get into a fight with Pat Riley, claiming that it's a lost effort because Riley himself has nothing to lose in situations like that.
