Jimmy Butler did for the Heat what Danny Ainge imagined Kyrie Irving would for the Celtics

While the Miami Heat's backs are against the wall in the NBA Finals, Jimmy Butler has continued to impress as the leader for the surprising Eastern Conference Champions. The Lakers were the obvious favorites going into the Finals, but who knows how the Heat would have fared in a full seven game series with a healthy Goran Dragic and Bam Adebayo. Pat Riley's plan for the Heat is to still add another max superstar to this team, so don't expect the Heat to just be a one hit wonder.

Since this is a Celtics site, it's interesting to see the parallel with Danny Ainge's plan a few years ago.
