Butler and Herro were seen working out together after Heat practice on Sunday.

Butler said, "He don't give a damn what nobody thinks, he has that quality too... He's comfortable in his own skin, not worried about what nobody says... he's confident because he works on his game every single day."

Butler also added that Herro listens and asks all the right questions.

Miami opens the season Wednesday at home against Memphis.
