Odds are the Miami Heat hoped to move on from veteran star Jimmy Butler before he returned from his suspension against the Denver Nuggets. The fact Butler suited up for the Heat once again likely means team president Pat Riley and the front office are yet to find a return they're satisfied with.

In his current standoff with the Heat front office ( read: Pat Riley ), Miami attempted to avoid the “burn everything down” portion by suspending Butler seven games for conduct detrimental to the team ( read: attempting to force a trade ).

Jimmy Butler is back with the Miami Heat after his suspension, but nothing has really changed. Butler wants the Heat to trade him and the Heat will continue to try to fulfill that request ahead of the NBA’s Feb. 6 trade deadline.
