TNT analyst Steve Smith was drafted by the Miami Heat. He also returned later in his career when Pat Riley was in the organization. So he knows the franchise. Which is why Smith said he felt Riley was bluffing when he said he wasn't trading star Jimmy Butler this season.

Pat Riley is trying to quiet the distractions around Jimmy Butler’s status, and put out a statement saying the Heat will not trade their disgruntled star before the Feb. 6 NBA trade deadline.

If Jimmy Butler wants a trade, the Miami Heat have no plans to make him happy. Heat President Pat Riley — in a rare move — spoke out to address rumors Thursday, saying the team has no plans to trade Butler.
