Butler appeared to subtly respond to some of this ongoing turmoil at his coffee shop. He went up to one of the baristas and said “this is our best guy” right here. The former Team USA gold medalist at the Olympics then joked that he gave his barista at BIGFACE in Miami a compliment.

Even in a down year, Butler is posting solid numbers: 17.6 points per game on .552/.375/.788 shooting, 5.5 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.2 steals. Butler is not a volume shooter from deep, but he’s no liability, either. And his lack of threes is balanced by a bully-ball style that sees hm live at the charity stripe.
