But thanks to the trade of star forward Jimmy Butler during the game, Solmaz quickly became an overnight sensation on social media. When news of the trade that sent Butler to the Golden State Warriors emerged, Solmaz, who was sitting behind the Miami Heat bench, shared the details of the trade to the Heat bench. This was all captured in a video that has since gone viral on social media. A fan sitting behind the Miami Heat bench broke the Jimmy Butler trade news to the team.
Solmaz left out what the other two teams involved in the trade, the Utah Jazz and Detroit Pistons, are getting in the deal.
Regardless, it was cool to see how invested the Heat players were about the trade all while the game was actively going on. On Thursday, Solmaz spoke with CBS News Miami about his viral moment, detailing how it was a spur-of-the-moment decision to get the attention of Heat players and inform them of the move.
Kevin Love was just invested into hearing what the trade details were. And that was pretty funny. Kevin Love did thank me after. And then he just turned around and looked at the game. It was unprofessional and I just wanted the toxic relationship to end. He previously worked at Barrett Sports Media and is a fan of all things Syracuse sports.
