MIAMI -- There is a photo that Heat president Pat Riley keeps in his office. It's of Jimmy Butler, exhausted in Game 5 of the 2020 NBA Finals, catching his breath while slumped over a barrier that surrounded the court at Walt Disney World.
Moments like those are the ones Riley chooses to remember.
Speaking for the first time since Butler was suspended three times this season by Miami and ultimately traded in February to the Golden State Warriors, Riley -- at his annual end-of-season news conference -- said he wishes Butler well and suspects that, deep down, the former Heat forward wants good things for Miami as well.
