Pat Riley has tried to reel in a superstar to the Miami Heat since the Big Three. After swinging and missing on big names like: Kevin Durant, LaMarcus Aldridge, and Gordon Hayward in previous off-seasons, Riley is said to be making a push for Jimmy Butler of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Striking out on the aforementioned three All-Stars may have led Pat Riley to hit the panic button, signing Hassan Whiteside to a max contract and matching the Brooklyn Nets offer sheet to Tyler Johnson not long after Gordon Hayward decided to sign with the Boston Celtics.
