Erik Spoelstra on trade deadline: 'It's an amazing profession, not always the best business'

Asked how his team has dealt with the drama the past six weeks, which included three Butler suspensions, Spoelstra said: “I’ve had it with different teams. I felt it was less with this team, and that’s not taking away from anything that the group had to go through emotionally the past several weeks. “I really commend the group for staying the course and focusing on the present moment. You do want to have empathy for guys when it gets close to the trade deadline. This isn’t just fantasy sports. These are human beings. Having to move and change franchises midseason, that can’t be easy. That’s the business we chose, the part people don’t think about on the outside. It’s an amazing profession, not always the best business.”
