How impactful and successful Jimmy Butler’s time with the Miami Heat cannot be understated. However, the Heat knew despite the success, Butler was challenging and unpredictable to deal with daily. His high maintenance seemed to be a price they were willing to pay until it was clear they wouldn’t win a championship with him.

Among the other lease violations: Butler hired his own pool-cleaning people, who neglected their duties, and algae formed and the pumps broke, as per the suit. The five-time NBA All-Star also changed the locks without providing the landlord with a key. The cost of all damages, including mold remediation and new drywall, was $127,282.

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green revealed that Stephen Curry had been correct about a key aspect of the team before Jimmy Butler was traded to the franchise. The Golden State Warriors are a completely different team since Jimmy Butler joined their roster.
