The Miami Heat have also come under scrutiny for their management of Butler's circumstances. Wendy insists that the team mishandled interpersonal communication, particularly surrounding how Butler was informed of his non-starting status.

This left room for interpretation that the team was antagonizing Butler rather than fostering an environment of respect and professionalism.
