Jimmy Butler could potentially leave Miami Heat this off-season.
A Jimmy Butler-less Miami Heat fell short to the Boston Celtics in the first round of the playoffs to put a cap to an already disappointing season. If anything, this series again showed how impactful Butler is to the Heat’s team, especially in the biggest stages. Butler was phenomenal in the Miami Heat’s playoff run, defeating the likes of the Milwaukee Bucks and the Boston Celtics in last year’s Eastern Conference.

Ange Postecoglou opens up on changes amid Tottenham’s dilemma.
Tottenham Hotspur is presently on a losing streak and are on the verge of losing out on a Champions league spot despite their perfect start to the season. After a heavy 2-0 defeat to Chelsea on Thursday, Postecoglou went on a heavy rant, threatening a major axing within the squad and citing that the club needed to experience major changes. He said, “I’ve got to change this squad. I have to. I have to build a squad I think can play out football. For that to happen, there has to be exits.” This comes a few months after his popular “just play” comment to other coaches who complain about the quality of their squads.
