The Miami Heat clearly had to split from Jimmy Butler last season. The relationship had reached the irreconcilable stage, and the longer the situation took to resolve, the more disconnect it created in the longer room.
Heat fans surely aren't looking back on Butler now. Well, not other than maybe to check when he'll be in the Kaseya Center's visitor's locker room, or perhaps to wonder whether he's already rattling cages in Golden State.
As for Miami's offense, though, it probably remembers the Butler era fondly. Because ever since he left, the Heat have had tremendous trouble getting themselves to the foul line.
