Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat don’t seem to care about those optics. The Heat suspended Butler for a second time in less than weeks, bringing Butler’s total team-imposed absences this season to nine games.

Dereck Lively II is the Mavericks' starting center when he's healthy and not in foul trouble, but it's worth having a quality backup for those concerns. But Gafford is making a little over $13 million this season and is likely viewed as a much more valuable asset than Maxi Kleber.
