The Heat love competitors. Butler loves to compete. The Heat want hard workers. Butler works hard. The Heat and Butler have high standards. The Heat are miserable when they don’t win. So is Butler. The Heat accept, if not embrace, conflict.

I’m home and everything about this organization fits me. Everything about the guys on this roster fits me.”
