Miami Heat players Tyler Herro and Kevin Love were told of Jimmy Butler trade by a fan during game against Philadelphia 76ers

One fan shared the news about the Butler trade from the stands to players on the Heat bench during the game, with a video circulating on social media documenting the exchange. These are the times we live in; a fan at a game can just check their phone and share news about a team with the team’s players while they’re on the bench.

The clash pits perhaps the NBA's most disgruntled superstar against a franchise that won't bend to his will. And everyone in the NBA is watching.
