The Miami Heat swung for the fences and struck out again. They couldnāt get the Portland Trail Blazers to trade themDamian Lillard, missing on yet another big-name player.
Despite their evident shortage of talent and Tyler Herroās injury, the Heat made it to the NBA Finals last season. Now, their roster for next season is even thinner at some positions.
Even so, Heat star Jimmy Butler seems unbothered by the fact that his team didnāt get Lillard, as he recently stated that heās going to be him and the Milwaukee Bucks en route to a ring.
Jimmy Butler Says Heāll Beat The Bucks
āIām happy for Dame to be somewhere where heās wanted,ā Butler said on NBA TV. āHe has a chance to win a championshipā¦ Iām still going to be me. Iām gonna go beat Dame, Giannis, and Adrian Griffin on our way to a title.ā
The Bucks are obviously the team to beat in the Eastern Conference now, and itās hard to think of any team that could take them down in a seven-game series with Lillard in town.

But Erik Spoelstraās team has always found a way to beat the odds and become competitive when the playoffs arrive, so we wonāt be the ones placing our wagers against Butler and company.
