Recent weeks saw the Miami Heat reportedly become engaged in attempts to acquire Jimmy Butler from the Minnesota Timberwolves in a trade.

Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic are starting over again with first-year coach Steve Clifford as they try to end a team-record streak of six straight losing seasons since the blockbuster trade of Dwight Howard following the 2011-12 season.

For the third straight season, the intrastate rivals will get together for the season opener Wednesday night when Miami visits Orlando.
