He was just hurt a lot, the Heat promised Butler they would go all out for a Championship and they had a chance to get two proven playoff rotation contributors in Crowder and Iggy for a guy who was having on and off back issues. Like I said, he's got to get healthy and stay healthy. Otherwise there is no chance, regardless of the talent.
Mavs and the Heat are a lot alike ... neither one would offer Crowder an extra year because they wanted to go big game hunting in free agency in 21-22, and now he's been one of the biggest steals of free agency and current a Top 10 power forward in Real Plus Minus (currently sandwhiched right between John Collins and Zion). I wouldn't say either front office is foolproof.
I would have loved to have Crowder back, couldn't believe he ended on the Suns.
They both tought there was some real chance on Giannis.
I know, it's always a business decision, but the heat would have never given Bam away - no matter if his back was soso at that moment.
I wouldn't mind some of their roleplayers - I just don't want bet on potential they couldn't find.
And I don't want Winslow
