NBA Trades: 3 Reasons why Miami Heat should not trade for Russell Westbrook

#3 The possible volatility of a Westbrook-Butler duo

Westbrook and Butler together could turn out to a bomb waiting to explode

A pairing of Jimmy Butler and Russell Westbrook could be unique but unique in a good or bad way? The two would provide Miami with instant offense which they struggled to produce in 2018/19 (at 105ppg 26th in NBA) and would electrify the Miami fan base.

On the downside, Butler and Westbrook both like to have the ball. Butler is now on his 3rd team in 3 years and has clashed with the coaches and management in Chicago, Minnesota, and Philadelphia along the way.

Westbrook, on the other hand, is well known for being volatile. Several wagging tongues have doubted his credibility as a teammate and those murmurs refuse to die given the fact that he was first left behind by Kevin Durant and now by Paul George.

The two, Westbrook and Butler, could be great together or it could be a combustible situation. The smart move for Miami is finding a different trade partner to reshape their roster into a contender.
