The Miami Heat have a midseason mess, because after two trips to the NBA Finals and another to the Eastern Conference final in Jimmy Butler’s five years they refused to give the aging forward a golden parachute near his career’s end.

The Miami Heat and Jimmy Butler are finally moving on from each other — and it's the right move for both sides.

Coming into Saturday, the Heat were 5-5 in games without Butler this season. They also had not lost a game by more than 19 points. As -400 favorites against Utah at home, Miami's 9-for-35 shooting performance from three and -25 rebound margin sealed the embarrassing result that nearly doubled its worst losing margin on the season.
