Warriors are making Jimmy Butler realization Heat likely already knew

The Golden State Warriors are slowly realizing why exactly the Miami Heat grew frustrated with Jimmy Butler. While he has the potential to be a dominant star player, there are times when he's too passive or flat-out uninterested when he's on the floor.

It's one of the reasons why the Heat naturally grew apart from the idea of building around Jimmy, and part of the reason they chose not to pay him the big-money contract he was seeking.

Speaking on this season specifically, there have been too many outings in which Jimmy has been overly passive on the offensive end of the floor.
