The Heat coach admitted that Butler's trade turmoil this season did have a negative impact on the team

The Heat entered the playoffs from the NBA play-offs this year, but were swept out 0-4 in the first round against the Eastern Conference leader Cavaliers.

Butler and the Heat fell apart and were eventually traded to the Warriors

Eric Spoelstra was recently interviewed by the Miami Herald, saying that Butler's trade turmoil this season did have a negative impact on the team, he said that the Heat is not a club that will make excuses, even if this matter has been handled perfectly, there will still be voices from the outside world questioning whether it can be done better, not to mention that the situation was still very chaotic at the time.

Butler's "sell me" turmoil caused the Heat to suspend him many times, and finally reached an agreement to trade him to the Warriors, and after completing the deal, Butler also immediately signed an extension contract with the Warriors.

However, Eric Spoelstra also bluntly said that even if the Butler trade did not happen, it would be impossible for the Heat to become the first in the East this season, which is completely unrealistic. "Usually when fate comes to an end, it doesn't make such an ugly fuss, which is really unfortunate." Eric Spoelstra looks back at the trade and thinks the Ball and Butler don't have to make things so ugly, but it's over, and the Heat have a new page to move forward.
