He ain’t going nowhere unless the deal makes sense for Heat/Riley.

Dude thought he’d be “cute” and force his way out of Miami - of course Riley has dealt with superstar egos before and trade demands. He ain’t letting this last one ruin his “legacy” of “winning” every battle he has had with some aging talent thinking they are still in their prime.

He’ll wind up agreeing to get paid and not report - then find exactly how much demand there is for a 36 year old Prima Donna in the NBA. Unless your LeBron level - no one’s paying you more than mid level money. Shoulda grabbed that 50 mil option and enjoyed retirement in a year or 2.

So double the fine.... does that mean he loses 2X his salary for missing games?
I thought he was only not being paid for the games he missed. Maybe I've got this wrong.
I think fine referred to his salary. The 7 game suspension will end after tonight's game and he's ready to play again on Friday unless his suspension is extended.

Miami listing the following starting 5...

Rozier...sg
Butler...sf
Herro...og
Highsmith...pf
Adebayo...c

Miami remains favored but that line has pressured down from -2.5 to -1 and pushing toward a pick 'em.
Torture for Butler haha
