It’s becoming awkward. Jimmy Butler, a standout for the Miami Heat, was rumored to be open to a move to the Phoenix Suns just hours ago. However, other sources now state this is untrue, suggesting that the report is untrustworthy.
ESPN insider Shams Charania has been criticized by the NBA player’s agent, Bernie Lee, for rumors that Butler is considering sanctioning a trade out west.
According to Charania, Butler was amenable to joining the Suns, as well as the Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, and Golden State Warriors. There was excitement and conjecture in the NBA world as a result of this knowledge.

Jimmy Butler’s Agent Puts Shams Charania on Blast
Bernie Lee quickly condemned Shams Charania’s claim on social media, calling it “fabricated” and calling for an apology and retraction. Lee vented his annoyance in a string of scathing tweets, claiming that the report was damaging to Butler and the teams it listed in addition to being inaccurate.
I don’t know what I’m going to do because I’m a middle aged dad but just know it would indicate severe dislike. World… all this is fabricated. I have never and honestly it wouldn’t help me or the position I represent to do anything that’s been reported by said “journalist” https://t.co/1KOXza9SKg

He made it clear that their camp would provide any accurate information regarding Butler’s future, not rumors. The friction that can develop between players’ representation and the media, particularly when it comes to delicate subjects like possible trades and career moves, is shown by Lee’s forceful response.
