Paul Pierce Believes Pat Riley Is Running Jimmy Butler Out Of Town

The Miami Heat are going through a bit of a crisis right now.

Unfortunately, this isn’t anything new.

Jimmy Butler has been suspended seven games for several instances of conduct detrimental to the team, and he’s formally requested to be traded.

This, however, has all the makings of a Pat Riley masterpiece.

That’s why Paul Pierce believes he’s running him out of town.

Talking on FOX Sports, the Boston Celtics legend recalled how Riley did the same with Shaquille O’Neal, LeBron James, and even Dwyane Wade in the past (via Complex Sports).
