I don't understand how Jimmy Butler, Ben Simmons, James Harden, Zion Williamson, Kawhi Leonard, and Joel Embiid can still get max or overpaid contracts at this point in their tumultuous careers but they blackballed players like Carmelo Anthony, Boogie Cousins and Dwight Howard.
Cousins was a problem in Sacramento. Did it to himself. Then he got hurt ain't nobody was giving him that big contract because of his injury and past attitude. They didn't blackball him.
@Akbulla1482 constant injuries isn't his fault or Zion's or Embiid's fault well maybe Zion's. These players are paid to much money to not be able a full season. Non guaranteed contract should come into play or the NBA won't be able to sustain these growing contracts.

No can't do.

You would create more chaos by removing extensions. Every player that pans out essentially outperforms their contract. An extension is the reason the players stay. Don't blame anyone but Butler. He was always a problematic player.

Should always be non-guaranteed. Game to game evaluations. You don't want to get into shape, a problem in the locker room, not following the game plan on the court, etc. The quality would be even better because they would have to play with the same intensity they play with when it's a contract year coming up.
Boy y’all scraping the bottom of the barrel to protect Butler lol. So, they supposed to follow the trend and pay Butler because other player’s are declining too. Each organization is its own it’s not follow the leader. They are their own leader.
🙋🏾♂️ Jimmy Butler got that child support over his head so he's trying to get more money. He should have worn condoms now he's stressed. Be safe fellas. He should have chose better.
Your comments about Adam Silver is on point! The injury stuff sounds ridiculous; guys cannot control injuries, especially a guy like Kawhi or Lonzo Ball who both had multiple major knee injuries. I don’t consider that load management, those are legit injuries. Or Ben Simmons for that matter, dude had back surgery.

400 mil, and he's still trippin, man I done!!! But all of them do that crap, rich as all get out, and still wants more. Jimmy is hiding something, and needs to come on out!🤣🤣🤣🤣
KG speaks the truth but he also acknowledges both parties. Tho videos & narratives like this don't age well! NBA is a business & players are going to be about business as well. Especially when you are not winning.
The NBA turns its bad PR press on every time a player gets leverage over the franchise. But when the franchise kicks out a player its always what is best for the team. Well players should do what is best for them. Jimmy Butler is making smart financial decisons. Never take a pay cut for the franchise. The billionaire owners never take a pay-cut & they will not refund you the money once you achieve great feats. And oh yes, the Heat will pay Jimmy once he appeals because they gave him severe punishments for minor offenses.
This gets to me. Jimmy is my favorite because of his work ethic and talent, plus he's from Texas. I ignored all the bs from other teams because I knew he was all business and hard work and assumed that was the issue. Now Im seeing this side of Jimmy, and it bums me out. For better or worse, I liked him as a role model. Until this sh*t.
You must not have been around when KG got his big contract? He got the biggest contract at that time but, only because the Wolves had to overpay to keep him from going to LA or big market team. BUT there was no rookie contracts then. Every drafted player got massive contracts with major signing bonuses built in. Glen Robinson got over $100Million before he ever played one minute in the NBA. Donyell Marshall got close to $45Million as the number 5 overall pick (if memory serves) Teams were taking massive losses on every player that were busts. Rookies were guaranteed more money than many All stars. This was in 1997. The pay system was broken.
Kg is talking about not honoring your contract not if you’re hurt taking some money away or if you’re hurt 5 years in a row penalize players is crazy that’s like saying if you get sick more than twice a year or have a preexisting conditions that you develop from the job you’re fired … owners are giving these players this big contracts knowing that some players are a risk like kawhi and kd they were signed as free agent knowing that they were going to miss the 1st year of their contract … believe if the owners wasn’t making money after giving out these big contracts there wouldn’t be big contracts.. imagine how much they make
David Stearn would have put a stop to this. Instead of letting teams try to handle star players and then the player demands a trade because he's mad and other players know the player is wrong but support him out of solidarity and then say they won't go to that team either. If the commissioner tells the player do this or the league will bench you and you can't go anywhere else and then suspend you and take some money. If the player doesn't like it they can go to Europe. If the players assn wants to try and strike over players purposely not upholding their end of a contract and cause a shutdown where the other 90% who do honor their contracts are going to lose their income then the players will stop stop backing idiots.
KG ain't said not one lie, dude spoke the whole truth and the entitlement these players have is gonna screw up the golden ticket for everyone else. Jimmy knows he is a whole damn fraud and has wrote so many checks his ass cannot cash whatsoever. Dude needs to hold up his end of the bargain and play his heart out
The problem is that the games are rigged. John Wall was told not to play for a year so the Rockets could get lottery picks 3 years straight. Then they cut him from the league, and even 2k when he came out and said they were tanking intentionally. How can the owners choose how the games go, when the players also have money on the line (endorsements, fans, etc). Is a pissing match in my opinion… you can see with Luka and the Mavs… looks like they didn’t want to pay him, so off he goes… and here goes media coverage coming to scrutinize the players as usual lol
It's a business at the day if the day both sides made mistakes.But jimmy butler did help Miami get two nba finals with less talented teams when they barely made the playoffs as a 8 seed two years!!Look at the teams they beat that year Milwaukee bucks I believe was a co favorite to win the nba title along with Boston!!Jimmy has been hurt but I think he's looking at the roster and what they are asking him to do.Compared to Boston Celtics who have Tatum Brown and the Unicorn and everybody else they got!
This is funny they are being paid to say this. James harden and Ben simmons did a lot worst. The heat kept a trash team around Jimmy. Let the man go without the drama.
Larry Bird is the reason why today's players have guaranteed contracts. Now they need to get rid of it. These dudes want to get paid big money by putting in little work.
That’s exactly what I’m telling people. His behavior is gonna cause owners to demand non guaranteed contracts. It’s habitual thing with jimmy. He wants more money and loses interest so starts behaving like a child. He lacks professionalism
These players act like kids. When they decide they want to be traded ,they do whatever they can to try to force the teams hand. I wouldn't trade for a player like that. Lets remember these guys are playing basketball for multi millions of dollars a year.
The nba is a business. Luka Doncic a Franchise player was trade without his concent but everyone thinks Jimmy is wrong from wanting out? Do what you think is good for yourself full stop
Its medias fault and anyones who cant deal with media for that its not jimmy fault for being a good player . He was best player to watch in playoffs last i seen ppl quick to believe these media talk people talk on another mans career
Zion already has a non guaranteed with clauses built in it. Embiid first big contract had them also but this last one not so much. I have a strong feeling his re-up with the Sixers will have health/game clauses because he is chronic.
Jimmy is going to fuc around and find out. He better talk to Kaepernick. These owners are going to start black ballin these players. They are making too much money for all this nonsense. They shouldn't have guaranteed contracts. This is ridiculous!!!
It's as Rachel Nichols described...Jimmy Butler should have played through this situation and increased his trade value....By not playing, he's only made things more complicated, and his behavior makes him highly unattractive to other teams....We'll see if he gets what he wants.....

Sometimes the team system makes a good player great, can JB be great on another team when he’s probably gonna be the 3rd option
David Stearn would have put a stop to this. Instead of letting teams try to handle star players and then the player demands a trade because he's mad and other players know the player is wrong but support him out of solidarity and then say they won't go to that team either. If the commissioner tells the player do this or the league will bench you and you can't go anywhere else and then suspend you and take some money. If the player doesn't like it they can go to Europe. If the players assn wants to try and strike over players purposely not upholding their end of a contract and cause a shutdown where the other 90% who do honor their contracts are going to lose their income then the players will stop stop backing idiots.
JB is a bit jaded since Herro is overshadowed him. He wants to be the #1 option, but cannot due to age and games played in a Season.
Herro in't taking the Heat nowhere. He is easy to scheme against in the playoffs.
David Stern would have brought fire and brimstone from the heavens if he was still around.
KG on point 👉....
Jimmy wild
KG ain't said not one lie, dude spoke the whole truth and the entitlement these players have is gonna screw up the golden ticket for everyone else. Jimmy knows he is a whole damn fraud and has wrote so many checks his ass cannot cash whatsoever. Dude needs to hold up his end of the bargain and play his heart out
That 1st comment got me crying
Jimmy been recognized that its a business, didn't y'all just see Luka doncic get traded. I don't blame Jimmy
The problem is that the games are rigged. John Wall was told not to play for a year so the Rockets could get lottery picks 3 years straight. Then they cut him from the league, and even 2k when he came out and said they were tanking intentionally. How can the owners choose how the games go, when the players also have money on the line (endorsements, fans, etc). Is a pissing match in my opinion… you can see with Luka and the Mavs… looks like they didn’t want to pay him, so off he goes… and here goes media coverage coming to scrutinize the players as usual lol
Secondly KG was not the first big contract !!! It was JUWAN HOWARD !!!
It's a business at the day if the day both sides made mistakes.But jimmy butler did help Miami get two nba finals with less talented teams when they barely made the playoffs as a 8 seed two years!!Look at the teams they beat that year Milwaukee bucks I believe was a co favorite to win the nba title along with Boston!!Jimmy has been hurt but I think he's looking at the roster and what they are asking him to do.Compared to Boston Celtics who have Tatum Brown and the Unicorn and everybody else they got!
This is funny they are being paid to say this. James harden and Ben simmons did a lot worst. The heat kept a trash team around Jimmy. Let the man go without the drama.
Larry Bird is the reason why today's players have guaranteed contracts. Now they need to get rid of it. These dudes want to get paid big money by putting in little work.
Jimmy must be living check to check cause this is crazy
That’s exactly what I’m telling people. His behavior is gonna cause owners to demand non guaranteed contracts. It’s habitual thing with jimmy. He wants more money and loses interest so starts behaving like a child. He lacks professionalism
Mike's last deal was over $30,000,000.00 Million let's STOP !!!!
I mean he is absolutely right if you really think bout it.
😂😂😂 not every brainfart should be posted my guy... 🤦🏻♂️
Any team that sign Jimmy and pay him all that money will be ruined for years.
No more freebies owners need to pay as u play
No, Ben Simmons and Williamson will make you guys have non guaranteed contracts.
These players act like kids. When they decide they want to be traded ,they do whatever they can to try to force the teams hand. I wouldn't trade for a player like that. Lets remember these guys are playing basketball for multi millions of dollars a year.
This is why he was traded from the Bulls
I wonder what race he is and I wonder what race of NBA players do this the most?
Money can’t buy class
Ngl I’m not listening to Nichols slam Jimmy after what she did in that bubble in 2020 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The nba is a business. Luka Doncic a Franchise player was trade without his concent but everyone thinks Jimmy is wrong from wanting out? Do what you think is good for yourself full stop
Its medias fault and anyones who cant deal with media for that its not jimmy fault for being a good player . He was best player to watch in playoffs last i seen ppl quick to believe these media talk people talk on another mans career
Rachel mad Jimmy toot it boot it on her 😂😂😂
Its medias fault and anyones who cant deal with media for that its not jimmy fault for being a good player .
Zion already has a non guaranteed with clauses built in it. Embiid first big contract had them also but this last one not so much. I have a strong feeling his re-up with the Sixers will have health/game clauses because he is chronic.
Jimmy is going to fuc around and find out. He better talk to Kaepernick. These owners are going to start black ballin these players. They are making too much money for all this nonsense. They shouldn't have guaranteed contracts. This is ridiculous!!!
Why he can't shoot like that in the game
It's as Rachel Nichols described...Jimmy Butler should have played through this situation and increased his trade value....By not playing, he's only made things more complicated, and his behavior makes him highly unattractive to other teams....We'll see if he gets what he wants.....
Where is John wall now.
Sadly Jimmy don't care what Rachel or KG say. Or no one day tbh
Don’t blame jimmy you can start the blame with harden and KD they started all that switching teams all crazy 🤨
Rachel a hypocrite she gave Jimmy all that attention when he threw a temper tantrum in Minnesota she gave him the ego to fill he can do this
