The Miami Heat were in desperation mode it seemed. They were on the precipice of a deal that would bring Jimmy Butler to the team, but the Dallas Mavericks decided they wanted to pull out of the deal. This sent Miami Heat faithful, twitter, and the rest of the social media world into a frenzy.

At its completion, it saw the Miami Heat acquire two appreciating assets in Jimmy Butler and Meyers Leonard while exodusing an asset that had long begun its dive of depreciation in a center who is not to be named.
