When you put it like that, I guess this trade has merit. But I still don't think Mitchell and Butler will play well together. It's as if they take away one another's game instead of complimenting it. We shall see how this goes... But I do agree that Mitchell will not be staying with the Cavs for very much longer, I just don't know which team he will be headed to.

The theory from Heat reporters and fans, is that they actually want to look towards building around Bam. They're thinking of Mitchell as an upgrade of the Herro/Lowry spot. 

There's also a desire to lighten the offensive burden on Jimmy, which frees him up to do more of everything else he's great at and preserves him for the playoffs now that he's getting older.

I'd rather see the Heat go after guys like Caruso who are great complementary guys. 

Also, don't forget that Pat Riley is a big game hunter.
