Unfortunately for the Miami Heat, Butler remained set on playing in another city this season and he was indefinitely suspended recently after walking out of practice. It is a situation that has gotten ugly fast. While most blame the player, Heat legend Tim Hardaway believes a lot of it falls on team president Pat Riley.

Being right meant standing firm against the greatest player of this generation at the peak of his powers, not giving James free reign over the kingdom he built, and he was willing to lose James over it — even if James was ultimately destined to head back to Cleveland and, later, Los Angeles.
