Watch: Heat players found out about Jimmy Butler trade from fan during game

The fan got all of the details down, though some of those players whom he mentioned have since been rerouted by the Heat elsewhere. The reactions from the Miami players were absolutely tremendous as well. Love was out there pressing the fan for further details, Herro had an incredulous grin on his face in response, and Jaquez was looking on with a stunned expression of his own (perhaps wondering if he himself was a part of the trade too).

Butler and Josh Richardson, neither of whom are with the Heat right now, were the only outgoing Miami players involved in the deal. Thus, at least it prevented an awkward situation of a player having to be pulled off the floor in the middle of a game because of a trade ( which we have actually seen in the NBA before).
