"I don’t think what I said last year really was relevant."
"I don’t think what I said last year really was relevant."
Herro fired back at what he called "goofy" coverage.
"I was embarrassed watching that and looking at what the Heat fans did... he quit on them in the middle of the year."
"Casually throwing this out there on his platform is extremely irresponsible."
"I love expectations and having something to play for, so he's lighting a fire for sure."
"It's so uniquely male and so uniquely repressed and stupid, that it's totally unsurprising to see it used to slap Pat Riley across the face."
"I'm glad we've got a new chapter starting."
"We robbed them."
Trash take? Sure. But was it worse than the trade that was actually made?
"The rules have all changed now to 'whatever it is we need to do to suspend him.'"
"Is this not embarrassing for everyone involved?"
"I know what storylines you're looking for..."
"I understand this generation of players and how they want to go about living their life is different."
"Entering my Winston Wolfe phase."
"The 7-game suspension imposed tonight by the Miami Heat on Jimmy Butler is excessive and inappropriate."
"Through his actions and statements, he has shown he no longer wants to be part of this team."
"This relationship is over."
"I want to see me get my joy back from playing basketball. Wherever that may be."
"We will make it clear. We are not trading Jimmy Butler."
"The situation is that I 1000 percent stand on the reporting,"
"I 1,000% stand by it. It's 1,000% facts."
"You know you normally aren't worth my time to acknowledge."
"I got to be emo for a day. But I'm low-key kinda emo all the time."
The series packs plenty of star power.
