This season has been filled with many headaches for the Miami Heat.

But none have been larger than the Jimmy Butler drama that derailed them for weeks.

Butler is now gone and the team’s chemistry may have improved, but their record has not.

As noted by Legion Hoops, the Heat are now 4-17 since the Butler trade.

They are the 10th team in the East with a 29-41 record, but hoping to get a lot better.

But any improvement may have to wait until the summer.

They are five games ahead of the 11th seed Toronto Raptors, which means they have a good shot of reaching the Play-In Tournament.

No one is sure what will happen there.

In the past, they have made the most of the Play-In and were able to go far in the postseason.

But that was with Butler, and a lot has changed since then.

It was clear that Butler had to go and the team would be better in the long run without him and the problems that he was causing.

Now they are adjusting to life without him, and it’s obviously full of problems.

It should be noted that they were experiencing difficulties before he left, too, but a lot of fans were hoping things would get smoother once he exited the team.

To make matters even worse, the Golden State Warriors have been thriving since Butler joined them.

Plus, he is playing a lot better and seems very happy with his new team.

Heat fans are unhappy with where their team is, but they feel things will eventually get better.

But Miami might need some bigger adjustments that can only come in the offseason via trades.
