@@MournfulNetsfan68 yes, he will never suit up for the Heat again. Pat Riley gave him 7 games which is about two weeks according to espn. Heat about to go on a road trip. He will be traded in a week.
2 finals 1 east conference finals Bam and Tyler as his 1,2 punch what else do you want ? He asked for help didn’t get it . He asked for contract extension didn’t get it Missed only 15 games last season with an ankle injury. It takes a full 2 weeks to heal . Where yall getting he don’t play at ?
lol bam ballers harder then Tyler and jimmy The heat trash They lucky Jason Tatum got hurt on the first drive of 2023 They get so lucky yet people think the heat are that team Nope Nobody gunna hold Tyler back 😂
@@boneezy1028 that’s like saying you won mvp for last season nd now people telling you that don’t matter cause it’s a new season 😂 yo points don’t add up to Facrs
Pat Riley is old school, “you embarrass this team publicly cuz I won’t give you $55mil plus for your late 30’s. Alright how about I take $4mil out your pocket on the way out the door with this suspension”
Pat has been ass though, he's signed nobody and fumbled Lillard PG Siakam OG and Derozan trades these past 3 years. Jimmy hard carried nobodies for 5 years. They made Tyler Herro believe he was black😂
Exactly. They put up with him missing all those games for shady reasons and he acts like this after finally being held accountable? Guess they’ll take a bit of compensation back then while we are at it. Goodbye Jimmy, good luck getting paid anywhere close to that player option anywhere else because nobody will pay you even close to that
We pretending like Miami was winning after Lebron left and before Jimmy got there, we werent talking bout "Heat Culture" at this level before Jimmy got there
@@jeffcunningham0389nah g read first He said the level at which we speak of heat culture and actually regard it as something serious wasn’t a widely accepted belief until Jimmy got to show out and we saw a clear difference of what he was on other teams vs heat. Casuals weren’t on that understanding with Bron and the crew bc we were too focused on the trades, his star studded lineup, and his chip potential. Not to say people weren’t talking about the heat cultures advancements with Bron, people just didn’t widely believe it enough until Jimmy, around the time they formed the wall to stop Giannis.
You know nothing about the Miami heat then it’s been heat culture ever since Zo and Hardaway. Win with toughness and grit and hard work. It’s always been here ever since Riley has been here. So your pretending to know Heat Culture when you know nothing lol outsiders think we only were like this with Lebron and Jimmy. I like jimmy and all players that come here but I will always trust Pat. Cause it’s a business and Riley has to do what’s best for the organization and not a player who gets mad and wants to pout and use the media to put out his own narrative force a situation
Jimmy "Cant find joy in basketball making only 52million dollars in one year" Butler Honestly the massive increase in salary is the true culprit for the low rating in the NBA more than the abuse of 3-pointers, the lack of a Dynasty or the past 6 MVPs being European or African. I mean I get his anger, Zion, Pandemic P and Kawhi swimming in money while eating doritos on their couch, while he cant get a contract from his team. But he actin like he's working on retail.
Yep, I don't wanna hear this dude crying...you shoot a ball into a hoop, in Miami, of all places...get some perspective, people are starving these days
"insert thing I don't like about the NBA" is why the NBA is failing. Y'all all make these comments, the self importance is crazy. I've heard a dozen reasons why the NBA is failing this week alone.
But Sam also said he’s not been available how do you want to get paid more but work less lol Phila was desperate because Pandemic P’s, availability is the same as Leonard’s but that’s it the scarcity in the league makes teams pay guys like Pandemic P. I wouldn’t trade him though, because Jimmy has the leverage, decline his player option and make him a free agent at the end of the season. Just don’t play him no more his salary will basically be free for the rest of the season. If they trade him we won’t get fair value in return Mitchell, is right.
& backed 100% by owner mickey harrison not a winning situation for him ..... jimmy no buckets should continue playin' hard & request for a trade privately ....... who knows lakers gm/playin' coach bron bron blames is watchin' & might do somethin' ....... he's already traded his scapegoat dlo & probably needs a new one get the blame when things aren't right ....... go spurs !!!!!! 😂🤣😂🤣-😭😭😭😭😭😭
For the past five years Paul George haven't produced much in the league, he still landed a big contract with the 76ers. After all Jimmy have done for the Heat, he deserves to be compensated for all he has done. He carried that team for the past four years with very little to work with.
Jimmy Buckets has taken the Miami Heat to two finals and three Eastern Conference Championships they had no business being a part of whatsoever. One season of being hurt last year and now Pat Riley wanna be petty.
Yeah, it's petty. Especially after Pat said that his star player, who unfortunately got hurt before the playoffs, "should keep your mouth shut." How you gone tell your star player, who's hyping the team up in the media since he can't play, to shut up. Then treat him like this and expect him to want to stay
Jimmy has been freeloading the regular season for years. Always unavailable to play left and right for sissy reasons. Just because he decided to show up for a couple of postseasons doesn’t mean he can keep getting away with his bs forever. He needs to act like a pro. He is not going to get paid anywhere close to that player option anywhere else so the joke will be on him
He is literally M.I.A during regular season and only show up a postseason.... Someone's gonna play the regular season for him to compete in the playoffs dude
lol my guy, jimmy didn’t make it anywhere without the heat. You’re telling me a scorer better than jimmy wouldn’t have done the same? All the heat needed was one star player and jimmy was that I guess, but he wasn’t consistent enough.
@@AleeshaMoody-y7j thats not true. Heat Culture and the Patriots way have been a thing since the early 2000s. Those are the two staples is sports where a front office truly sets the rules.
Every story has two sides, but at this point, Jimmy is like, 'Forget Them' because the Heat did it first. Say what you want against Jimmy, but everyone saw him as the heart and soul of that team, doing everything possible to help them win, and he stood on business. They don't get to the finals twice without him. Could you not give that man an extension when he, above all, deserved it? I applaud him for writing his ticket to get out end of the story.
He hasnt played games 😂 last year he was cheeks and this year hes been worse.. and he was talking bad about the team last year while not playing.. dude constantly wears out his welcome and wants more money? Get tyler and bam some help and get this diva outta there
Pat Riley is the problem. And the media has yet to call him out on this. For years fans have heard about the mystique and the "greatness" of Pat Riley. After thinking about it, the truth is Pat has only won championships with generational talents (Magic, Kareem, Shaq, Dwade etc.) Outside of that.....what have his teams done? He had decent playoff runs with the Knicks and the Heat, but they never won a championship. Jimmy got them to 2 finals and a ECF with a fringe all-star (Bam Adeboyo) and a bunch of G-League and undrafted guys. I would say he overachieved. Pat ran off Shaq, didn't pay Dwade (gave Bosh the extension instead???), Threw shade at Lebron for leaving (after 4 trips to the finals) and now Butler is out the door. Pat is the problem. To many people have praised "heat culture" and it's gone to his head.
100% agree. I’ve been saying the guy doesn’t care about winning, he only cares about having power and control and players kissing his ass. Jimmy took that sorry team to 2 finals and Pat couldn’t even make a trade to improve the team, but the second Jimmy says something dumb about the Celtics, and Pat throws a conference to put him down. Embarrassing.
instead of giving dwyane wade his money he instead gave it to hassan whiteside, tyler johnson, dion waiters, duncan robinson bro needs to retire but he so stubborn he rather die at his desk than ever just let go of his pride and ego if we would’ve gotten any other star like kyrie, dmitch, harden , dame and just some decent role players we would’ve had a chip by now
Pat is not the problem. He definitely has a major ego, but he has also earned it. Generation talent doesn't not equal success without elite coaching & construction (ie. failed attempts of Brooklyn, the Clippers, and the 76'ers). The problem is Jimmy wants to be paid full-time wages for part-time work, and Pat Riley isn't an idiot. Jimmy himself says that he ramps up in January and after the All-Star break and in the past few years, that has not been enough. Pat should be held responsible for not getting Jimmy help (outside of the sabotaged Dame trade and Jimmy wanting to play with his bff Lowry), but Jimmy is BS-ing himself into another bad ending. As a HEAT fan, I'm wishing we get rid of Jimmy asap. Bro is like a child throwing a tantrum when he doesn't get what he wants and his toxic comments this week show that we need to get him out of our lockerroom.
I absolutely love it. The organizations want to hold players hostage. He took y'all weak ass team to the finals twice. In one year he did it the heat was the weakest team in the playoffs they were an eight seed and knocked out the number one seed. And we all know Jimmy Butler had a large part to do with it. The Celtics as well as the Knicks are too good of teams now they go out and make trades in the rosters come back better. You got porzingis, Holliday and Derek White. The Knicks got Carl Anthony towns. Who have the Miami heat gotten. Nobody it's time to go.
@@UnderiteEntertainmentI agree but at some point we gotta look at Jimmy 3 teams same results on his end. I understand he wants out but you have to sell yourself to other teams, what contender is gonna want him in their locker room?
First of all, jimmy is 35 years old on his way out of the league. No one in their right mind is giving him an extension. Look what the lakers gave Kobe and they ended up with the worst team in franchise history.
I remember he did that press conference after they lost to the Spurs sneak dissing Bron and gave out personal information about Bron the world didn't know at the time
What did they want the Heat to give up to get him, plus Portland didn't want to work a trade with Miami. Stop jock swinging Jimmy... he's a diva with a cheap coffee for sale
are you a bot? wth were you going to do with Lillard? you’d have to trade away a young core for a old pg? you have to be a bot. Oh and clutch sports won’t send any of their players to the heat.
Lotta shit talking here for a guy who carried them to two finals. Be a hardass all you want. Not gonna attract players. Edit: I’m just saying that Jimmy is/was the best player on your mediocre team. He’s always been a 2 option guy playing on a team that needs a one option. They never gave him any real help. If heat culture is not giving your star player any help and disrespecting him on the way out, then fuck that.
Carried my a**. He's NEVER carried anything. One series versus the Bucks. That's it. Check the numbers, pal. BTW, you ain't the only person I've had this argument with. Get ready.
Carry? I was told the Heat have the best coach in the NBA, DPOTY Candidate in Bam, and Herro who won 6MOTY and is now better than Jimmy. Didn't Jimmy burn out and had to be saved by the role players? Miami will attract players regardless, players will suit up in Utah if the money is right.
Zach Lavine has been a good fit for the Heat for a while. Could Butler and Lavine be traded for each other yet again? Lavine is draggin out there this year.
It’s wild because we’ve seen guys do worse and get less. Jimmy in that interview did everything right. He was honest. He wasn’t rude. He stated how he felt. Then he gets 7 games. That’s excessive.
Let's see what's the next team Jimmy Butler will bring to the playoffs 😤 sixers went to ECF with Butler, wolves went to 1st round with Butler after many years and 2 Finals, 3 ECF in Miami for 5years
Yeah maybe if he wants to play hard and find his joy back if not you’ll be getting what Miami is getting from him this year absolutely NOTHING!!! See these dudes don’t even play hard but want all the extensions and benefits of a superstar without actually performing.
@@CzarAice01 lmao you talk about crying but I don't see jimmy shedding no tears. I can tell someone like you allow people to walk all over you without you wanting to voice your "opinion" because yur afraid of being called something.
Riley went from we're not trading Butler to we're listening to all offers. That was fast! Butler must have pulled a George Costanza when he was trying to get fired from the New York Yankees 😂😂😂
This is both true, and something I dont exactly understand. How many players worse than Jimmy get max contracts. He is a diva, but as far as results go, he has gotten them at a better rate than almost anyone else. I really like guys like Jimmy and Jrue Holiday, who do all the things that help you win and am disappointed when guys like Jordan Pool get better contacts than them.
@freshone274 The original poster's statement is true(thing one) And something I dont understand (thing two). The word both is referencing those two things. The sentence works without it, but it was added for the emphasis that I believe the statement is both correct and wrong at the same time (correct in that it will come to pass, and wrong in that I think his value added as more than most max contract players). That all being said, I checked salaries right after posting and saw that he is a top 12 paid player right now which stunned me a little with the Wolves paying Wiggins over him and Philly choosing Tobias Harris over him. I knew he got paid I Miami, but thought it was not much less than he actually did.
I used to respect the hell out of jimmy. He used to put my Celtics in jeopardy every year for a while there. But Zeke is absolutely right about him quitting in his teammates, it’s disgraceful
Recency bias is a helluva drug nowadays. Did we forget what butler did for the heat just 2 years ago: not too mention his whole tenure, with no team around him… because of Pat Riley!! Does he necessarily deserve the money at this age, idk probably not, but to claim he’s just some outright diva who hasn’t lifted up every team his been on, especially the heat, is ridiculous. A lot of people don’t know ball in here.
@@philb.15022019. 76ers were a kawhi shot away from a ecf appearance. That team could’ve won it all. I don’t even need to google search that. That’s just the most recent. It was not top tier but those Teague, Butler, Wiggin & Kat wolves teams weren’t bad and butler was clearly the top player. Watch some baskteball.
Both can be true. But like they said he comes in does great for a few years then does this! 9 pts because he’s not feeling it on the basketball court. That’s not just Miami but your team mates and fans you throwing a middle finger to.
Actually he did the same with Bron when Bron thought he could run the Heat organization like the rest of the teams he’s played for Riley said hell to the know see ya King lol
"We have NO PLANS of taking action against Jimmy" Jimmy gets suspended!!! "We have NO PLANS on trading you" Suspect gets traded! "We have NO PLANS on firing our coach" Suspect gets fired! Anytime they say they're NOT doing something in the NBA, you can bet your ass they're doing it🙄🙄
Ngl this is a message to the nba in general. Some Players in the nba don’t love the game like they used too, they see the money and that’s it. No more competition, no more hard work, no more determination! It’s sad to see!
That’s the objective when you grind from chap to draft day get the bag. That’s always the goal. The Bag. I never heard a kid say I want to be an nba champion. But I’ve heard plenty say I want to be a professional athlete though. That’s the goal
Right a guy that took a bunch of undrafted players to the freaking finals don’t love the game, don’t have hard work, don’t compete and no determination? Man shut up
You can't be talking about Jimmy, Jeff Teague was on the wolves team when Jimmy took a bunch of g league players and spanked everyone, the nba is soft now and guys like Jimmy, cousins and others are considered problems now, not one teammate has ever said anything bad about him
Sorry heat team??? You come straight out of a comic book. Everybody was loving the heat and scared to see this heat TEAM not long ago now Butler is the one that did everything? Y’all some funny fans man
@@samonajackson4083I’m a heat fan and I agree with you !!! Straight up he’s getting 50 M’s a year play more and you will get an extension Simple. Pat let go dwade you think he give a flying f about Jimbo 😂😂😂
Dont expect to see anymore star players go to miami to play for pat....... Miami did lebron, wade and now jimmy who took them bums to 2 nba finals dirty......
Miami didn't do Bron dirty tf are you talking bout? Bron played his contract out and moved on. I'm nowhere near a Bron fan, Jordan will always be the GOAT, but I will give Bron credit where it's due. When he signs his name on a contract he will fulfill it.
@grandtheftaudio6386 lebron told that bum, pat to keep Mike Miller and a few of them role players on the miami heat team, pat decided not too because he was being cheap.......even though the reason why lebron came to Miami because him wade and BOSH were willing to take less money so that the heat can continue to keep legitimate pieces around him........ lebron and the heat gets manhandled in 4 or 5 games to San Antonio spurs, and lebron leaves without even saying goodbye........ Even after pat taunted him In a press conference right after they lost the nba finals claiming you can't win all the time, just comeback and we will revamp the team...michael jordan wouldnt act this way......lol Let's not forget about what pat did to wade, basically told wade to take less money, and he was gonna reimburse him in the future, wade took the less money, he overpaid BOSH, and than when it was time to reimburse wade he dissed him, and wade left to play for Chicago...... Now you got jimmy, carrying a bunch of bums on his roster to 2 nba final appearance and was a shot away against boston from carrying them to a third, never improving the team or getting jimmy another all star to play with, and now treating jimmy like he's a role player...... Pat Riley has a history of being a scumbag and don't expect any stars to play for miami as long as he is still there
Ive been said this about Jimmy Butler for how good he's / unavailable / his personality this is gonna happen almost everywhere he goes unless its a perfect situation. Ive heard quite a few stories about Jimmy Butler from IRL interactions with him whilst he was in Chicago especially during the years Butler was the best player that he was a really unfriendly / not willing to take pictures with fans. Sure it happens with every player but Ive heard about 5-10 stories about this online which makes me think its not a one off thing or fans just making stuff up.
You're absolutely right. The double standard is glaring. When team owners trade or move players for financial reasons, it's often seen as just part of the business. But when players make similar decisions-whether for better contracts, career opportunities, or personal reasons-they can be criticized, labeled as "disloyal" or "troublemakers." It reflects a broader imbalance in how players' autonomy is perceived compared to team owners' power. It's an interesting point about how narratives are shaped based on who's making the move.
Says Jimmy take things too personal and can’t let things roll off his back. Well when the owner calls you at in a press conference and tell you to shut up. You best believe that a grown man will not be okay with that. Could have done it behind close doors but Pat choose to do in an unprofessional way. What Jimmy Butler said is true, he has been carrying the Heat on his back without any other great player. Carry them to 2 finals by himself especially when they didn’t have Tyler Herro in postseason of 2023. Pat Riley acts like he did anything good without superstars to carry his franchise. Get rid of Jimmy Butler and Miami Heat going to be out of the playoffs plus irrelevant! Just like how they were before Jimmy Butler came along. Lol 😂
Yea you’re definitely not someone that actually watches the miami heat. In the first finals run Goran Dragic was the heats best offensive player and leading scorer. Then got hurt in the finals. In the 2nd run butler was carried in rounds 2 and 3 since he got hurt and everyone believed Caleb Martin deserved the ECF mvp award. Butler was then trash in the finals against Denver.
@ Oh… i definitely watch them play alright. So yeah “Playoff Jimmy” didn’t do anything and got carried to the finals. Lol laughable like anyone is going to believe that. Dragic was good but sorry you are mistaken Jimmy Butler was the main player for the Heat in the 2020 run. Caleb Martin has was a good role player but no way a guy who avg 12 points and 5 rebs is going to win ECF MvP award. He did play well in the Boston series but Butler play better overall!
Fake narrative by the organization to spend a negative narrative to make him disgruntled employee and detrimental to the team? It's okay for the organization to leak information or speak negative about a player? But as soon as, a player speak openly about their feelings and thoughts to the public? It's detrimental to the team. He was being asked by a reporter during a post game interview a question. And he gave an honest statement. It wasn't like he couldn't attend nor make himself available to the reporters to answer their questions. Because if he did that? He would have been fine for non complying with the NBA rules to make himself available to the media. Yes, he could have dodged the question or gave a fake response to the question. But he preferred to give them his honest feelings about the situation. And now people want to tell him to be quiet and shut up and dribble the basketball. Yes, he's fortunate to play professional basketball and make a lot of money in the process. But the same rules needs to be applied to the organization for not being able to say negative things about the player openly to the media. It's unfortunate that management and organizations and coaches can speak negatively of a player. But as soon as a player says something negative or expressed dissatisfaction of an organization? Then they want to label him disgruntled or a problem. But it's not the team, management or organizations that is the problem!?? And before anyone comments don't give me the nonsense that he is supposed to remain professional. However, others don't have to be professional nor be held at a higher standards themselves!!! It's funny! That people can give their opinions and say what they want to say!! But as soon as the employee/player speak up for himself and expressed his frustration and dissatisfaction with the company? Then that individual is the only one that has to remain professional. While others can slander or make false narrative about your character as a individual and a players. But you can't speak up for yourself!! And just like players/employees should be held at a certain standards. So should the organization and/or management should be held at even a higher standards!!!
Lets be honest, Miami was very good at drafting and hitting on undrafted free agents. But they were not very good at surrounding Jimmy with established veterans and getting him a another superstar to pair with. Those teams that went to the finals overachieved. For what he gave them he deserved more, and after a while you just get tired. So while this "Jimmy does this everywhere he goes" narrative isn't completely wrong...just remember the context.
THANK YOU!!! People miss the point because he tried to discipline young players in Chicago, push KAT & Wiggins pissing around doing the bare minimum in the Timberwolves, dealt with an up himself Ben Simmons & out of touch coach for 76ers in Brett Brown who wasted years with the talent he had at the time & management pushed Jimmy out. Jimmy came into Miami in 2019/2020 and took this really young team to the Finals in his first year, and did it again with a better group in 2023 as the 8th seed knocking of a prime Bucks team, a prime Celtics team in the rematch conference finals before losing the chip to the Nuggets. All he wanted was help from at least a star or another all star besides Bam. He did most of the work, and almost passed out doing Allen Iverson minutes at the playoffs - he was patient until a star joined the team, but Heat management didnt do that and kept finding potential steals & dark horses (Max Strus, Gabe Vincent, Caleb Martin etc.) He lost his father which we can all agree is a tough loss personally, and during that time with the same mid players and no major stars to help carry, they kept blaming Jimmy expecting more & more when they're not even meeting half way. That narrative everyone is clickbating and following is just wrong!! Jimmy proved himself big time
@@slick6699 That's the point - he did everything and for years they didnt recruit anyone and relied on him to make it work when they overworked him sooo much in the playoffs - he literally almost passed out in 2020 and 2023 for playing heavy minutes. Everyone claiming he's washed but he plays heavy minutes with no help - but the real reason is because Pat Riley is an old school head that doesnt like to be challenged. Expecting same NBA Finals after overworking Jimmy and losing his father - gotta out it in perspective bro!!!!!!
I feel nothing for the heat. They haven’t provided him with any good players. Also the nerve of Sam Mitchell to say anything when he’s been body slammed by Vince Carter and gave the address of a colleague on air. Bruh shut up
This is all Pat’s fault. He never takes accountability for what he does. He talks and says sly stuff to turn people away. He did it to Lebron and D Wade the goat of that organization. Pat made this bed because without Jimmy they heat don’t even sniff the finals but hey they will learn 🤷🏾♂️
@ and that says nothing to the point I made. Like let’s be fr he sucks as an executive he was gifted the best player and the league and fucked it up to where he went bk to Cleveland. He pushed out his homegrown star because of his ego. He gets another high level player that drags his team to the finals and he fails to put talent around him then talks shit. He sucks as an executive. So since he has all those rings it clearly didn’t teach him how to keep a team together did it 🤦🏾♂️
Pat runs the organization and isn't going to be bullied by players, rightfully so. Wade, similar to Butler, wanted the money and Bron wanted his homies running the show. Nah, not in Miami!
@ running an organization is fine but letting your ego ruin your organization is another thing Pat it literally the nba equivalent to Jerry Jones from the nfl. Bron didn’t want his homies running the show he wanted respect same as D Wade sand as Jimmy now Pat’s ego won’t let him do what needs to be done to keep his stars which is why Miami won’t win
35 years old is really up there, plus he was missing games. Why not just finish out the contract? What is so bad you can't finish your contract. Guys finish and leave for another team all the time if the present team doesn't want to pay. When you are aging it gets tougher.
It’s a tough situation for Miami. They have been allowing him to sit out for at least 2 years and maybe longer however, he’s been a leader at demonstrating playing hard when he’s been on the court and a top producer in the NBA during the playoffs.
Sam Mitchell said that Jimmy does this every three or four years? An abject lie. He really hasn't. He wanted to be the man in Chicago but they jerked him around and after SIX seasons he was moved. Minny was soft and that's very evident. Philly still is soft and Jimmy wasn't traded; he didn't want to sign with them in free agency. Since then, he has spent a good long time in Miami and nearly lead them to a bubble championship. Let's not revive the whole 'Jimmy is a diva' nonsense because that's been bull from the get go.
He literally threw a tantrum in minnesota and chicago. When philly turns you down you know something's wrong with that player, they love giving cash to anybody
@@edgarochoa3122 See, people like you are the problem. "He literally threw" no, he did not. That's a lie. And then people hear you spout nonsense and they just jump on it because it sounds good. You're wrong, period. And you don't know what 'literally' means. And what does 'when Philly turns you down' mean? That franchise is some great organization? How many championships have they won?
Lets be honest, Pat Riley did a DWade to Jimmy Butler. Jimmy wants an extension, but Pat dont want to give him as Butler is already 35 years old. If im a superstar/all star free agent, i will never sign to Miami. Miami organization is like Boston when it comes to how they treat players.
He literally dragged the heat to the finals twice, Riley got him no help in the past 2 offseasons so no wonder he's mad, the team isn't in contention to win which is what he wants on top of not getting the extension. Also rich that Isaiah talks about trust the way he damaged the raptors
In the first finals run Goran Dragic was heats leading scorer until he got hurt in the finals. In the 2nd run he had a great first round and then had a mediocre next 2 rounds and it was caleb martin, bam, gabe Vincent and max struss that carried him
I'm not quitting on my teammate. I'm quitting on the front office..... I hate when they try to mix contract, negotiations, and team/sportsmanship... Pat Riley was not entertain entertaining Jimmy at all... so what can you do force your way out duh
Coach dude is a joke R we really gonna pretend jimmy didnt take minasota the furthest in the playoffs in that time and the onlyvreason he wanted out was cause kat & Wiggins were not pulling they weight & he wanted them to be held accountable office made it clear it was kat team jimmy said im out period and we all know he was the 2nd if Not best player on the 76er's but they rather gave the max to Tobias harris so he said yet again IM OUT like come on ppl 😒
@shmizzleshmazzle9830 yes he did not want to be there but I'm not gonna get comfortable and stay somewhere where it's OK to be lazy(kat&wiggins)and when I speak on it management tells me quite this ain't your team this kats team yeah I'm out that just added more fuel to the fire
Ah, my fond memories of Jimmy destroying the Timberwolves. "Butler is out tonight - General Soreness." Is General Soreness a colloquialism for pain in the ass? 😂
My opinion is Mr J Butler has done this several times before. So, regardless if Mr Riley is a root cause of Mr Butler’s antics in Miami he has done this before. He has quit on teammates before. Good luck and God bless.
Butler going to Denver would be a juggernaut out of the West against Boston for a Finals competition. It technically gives Boston a match to truly prepare for and meet obstacle during game scenario.😎
Dude averages 60 games a season for $48,798,677 & is 35. I get you want a chip but you backed yourself into a corner with that super generous contract.
This isn’t suspension this is expulsion because Jimmy is not coming back after it😂

Goodbye Jimmy, good luck getting paid anywhere close to that player option anywhere else because nobody will pay you even close to that
We pretending like Miami was winning after Lebron left and before Jimmy got there, we werent talking bout "Heat Culture" at this level before Jimmy got there
Just because they had success together in the past doesn’t mean you have to cater to the guys every whim.
Lol now your gonna tell us that heat culture was all Butler huh lmao
@@jeffcunningham0389nah g read first
He said the level at which we speak of heat culture and actually regard it as something serious wasn’t a widely accepted belief until Jimmy got to show out and we saw a clear difference of what he was on other teams vs heat.
Casuals weren’t on that understanding with Bron and the crew bc we were too focused on the trades, his star studded lineup, and his chip potential. Not to say people weren’t talking about the heat cultures advancements with Bron, people just didn’t widely believe it enough until Jimmy, around the time they formed the wall to stop Giannis.
No the level of heat culture came from Shaq, Wade, and head coach Pat Riley. Haha what are you smoking? And can I have some?
You know nothing about the Miami heat then it’s been heat culture ever since Zo and Hardaway. Win with toughness and grit and hard work. It’s always been here ever since Riley has been here. So your pretending to know Heat Culture when you know nothing lol outsiders think we only were like this with Lebron and Jimmy. I like jimmy and all players that come here but I will always trust Pat. Cause it’s a business and Riley has to do what’s best for the organization and not a player who gets mad and wants to pout and use the media to put out his own narrative force a situation

Jimmy "Cant find joy in basketball making only 52million dollars in one year" Butler
Honestly the massive increase in salary is the true culprit for the low rating in the NBA
more than the abuse of 3-pointers, the lack of a Dynasty or the past 6 MVPs being European or African.
I mean I get his anger, Zion, Pandemic P and Kawhi swimming in money while eating doritos on their couch, while he cant get a contract from his team.
But he actin like he's working on retail.
Yep, I don't wanna hear this dude crying...you shoot a ball into a hoop, in Miami, of all places...get some perspective, people are starving these days
"insert thing I don't like about the NBA" is why the NBA is failing. Y'all all make these comments, the self importance is crazy. I've heard a dozen reasons why the NBA is failing this week alone.
But Sam also said he’s not been available how do you want to get paid more but work less lol Phila was desperate because Pandemic P’s, availability is the same as Leonard’s but that’s it the scarcity in the league makes teams pay guys like Pandemic P.
I wouldn’t trade him though, because Jimmy has the leverage, decline his player option and make him a free agent at the end of the season. Just don’t play him no more his salary will basically be free for the rest of the season. If they trade him we won’t get fair value in return Mitchell, is right.
Kawhi ain’t sitting on the couch eating chips. He works out every day in recovery. Last season averaged 24 on nearly 50/40/90 splits.

For the past five years Paul George haven't produced much in the league, he still landed a big contract with the 76ers. After all Jimmy have done for the Heat, he deserves to be compensated for all he has done. He carried that team for the past four years with very little to work with.

Right! Carried that G League team to the FINALS! TWICE… once on his back in 2020!
Just because the clippers did something dumb doesn't mean the heat have to do the same.
Jimmy Buckets has taken the Miami Heat to two finals and three Eastern Conference Championships they had no business being a part of whatsoever. One season of being hurt last year and now Pat Riley wanna be petty.
Petty? because he doesnt want a declining player who is starting to break down another $150M
Yeah, it's petty. Especially after Pat said that his star player, who unfortunately got hurt before the playoffs, "should keep your mouth shut." How you gone tell your star player, who's hyping the team up in the media since he can't play, to shut up. Then treat him like this and expect him to want to stay
Lol he got carried in so many of those playoff series. You’re just ignorant to what actually happened
You are absolutely right Multi Black!
The Heat had no business being in those finals and conference championships!
Jimmy knows it’s time to move on!
Jimmy has been freeloading the regular season for years. Always unavailable to play left and right for sissy reasons. Just because he decided to show up for a couple of postseasons doesn’t mean he can keep getting away with his bs forever. He needs to act like a pro. He is not going to get paid anywhere close to that player option anywhere else so the joke will be on him

Say what you want against Jimmy, but everyone saw him as the heart and soul of that team, doing everything possible to help them win, and he stood on business. They don't get to the finals twice without him. Could you not give that man an extension when he, above all, deserved it? I applaud him for writing his ticket to get out end of the story.

Coach: I got you
Pat Riley is the problem. And the media has yet to call him out on this. For years fans have heard about the mystique and the "greatness" of Pat Riley. After thinking about it, the truth is Pat has only won championships with generational talents (Magic, Kareem, Shaq, Dwade etc.) Outside of that.....what have his teams done? He had decent playoff runs with the Knicks and the Heat, but they never won a championship. Jimmy got them to 2 finals and a ECF with a fringe all-star (Bam Adeboyo) and a bunch of G-League and undrafted guys. I would say he overachieved.
Pat ran off Shaq, didn't pay Dwade (gave Bosh the extension instead???), Threw shade at Lebron for leaving (after 4 trips to the finals) and now Butler is out the door. Pat is the problem. To many people have praised "heat culture" and it's gone to his head.
100% agree. I’ve been saying the guy doesn’t care about winning, he only cares about having power and control and players kissing his ass. Jimmy took that sorry team to 2 finals and Pat couldn’t even make a trade to improve the team, but the second Jimmy says something dumb about the Celtics, and Pat throws a conference to put him down. Embarrassing.
Been saying this for a while… and I’m a Heat fan
instead of giving dwyane wade his money he instead gave it to hassan whiteside, tyler johnson, dion waiters, duncan robinson bro needs to retire but he so stubborn he rather die at his desk than ever just let go of his pride and ego if we would’ve gotten any other star like kyrie, dmitch, harden , dame and just some decent role players we would’ve had a chip by now
Pat is not the problem. He definitely has a major ego, but he has also earned it. Generation talent doesn't not equal success without elite coaching & construction (ie. failed attempts of Brooklyn, the Clippers, and the 76'ers). The problem is Jimmy wants to be paid full-time wages for part-time work, and Pat Riley isn't an idiot. Jimmy himself says that he ramps up in January and after the All-Star break and in the past few years, that has not been enough. Pat should be held responsible for not getting Jimmy help (outside of the sabotaged Dame trade and Jimmy wanting to play with his bff Lowry), but Jimmy is BS-ing himself into another bad ending.
As a HEAT fan, I'm wishing we get rid of Jimmy asap. Bro is like a child throwing a tantrum when he doesn't get what he wants and his toxic comments this week show that we need to get him out of our lockerroom.
Who wins w/o a generational talent?
I absolutely love it. The organizations want to hold players hostage. He took y'all weak ass team to the finals twice. In one year he did it the heat was the weakest team in the playoffs they were an eight seed and knocked out the number one seed. And we all know Jimmy Butler had a large part to do with it. The Celtics as well as the Knicks are too good of teams now they go out and make trades in the rosters come back better. You got porzingis, Holliday and Derek White. The Knicks got Carl Anthony towns. Who have the Miami heat gotten. Nobody it's time to go.
I agree with you
Heat is on hostage here coz no team would want to trade for Jimmy's contract.
@@UnderiteEntertainmentI agree but at some point we gotta look at Jimmy 3 teams same results on his end. I understand he wants out but you have to sell yourself to other teams, what contender is gonna want him in their locker room?
@@Flawda_marlon561big mistake move of jimmy butler
First of all, jimmy is 35 years old on his way out of the league. No one in their right mind is giving him an extension. Look what the lakers gave Kobe and they ended up with the worst team in franchise history.
Sam that threatened his co-host on live television is saying Jimmy should let shit go. How rich, smh
No one who knows his past can be remotely surprised by any of this.
Didn't pat treat LBJ and wade like crap on their way out to. Just saying respect is a 2 way street.
I remember he did that press conference after they lost to the Spurs sneak dissing Bron and gave out personal information about Bron the world didn't know at the time
"Like crap" 😂 They made business decisions that panned out to be wise
Lebron told him he was gonna win him 8 rings, he held him to it.
Bron left because Pat isn't kissing his ass
@@dazzypeters6793 Good, and Bron aint kissing Pat's ass either
Pat was content to let this team stagnate, wouldn't put up a trade package to get Lillard and now Jimmy is heading out too
He f'd up with the Dame trade!!
What did they want the Heat to give up to get him, plus Portland didn't want to work a trade with Miami. Stop jock swinging Jimmy... he's a diva with a cheap coffee for sale
At this point in their careers Id rather have Herro 😅
Pat NEEDS to retire.
are you a bot? wth were you going to do with Lillard? you’d have to trade away a young core for a old pg? you have to be a bot. Oh and clutch sports won’t send any of their players to the heat.
Lotta shit talking here for a guy who carried them to two finals. Be a hardass all you want. Not gonna attract players.
Edit:
I’m just saying that Jimmy is/was the best player on your mediocre team. He’s always been a 2 option guy playing on a team that needs a one option. They never gave him any real help. If heat culture is not giving your star player any help and disrespecting him on the way out, then fuck that.
Carried my a**. He's NEVER carried anything. One series versus the Bucks. That's it. Check the numbers, pal. BTW, you ain't the only person I've had this argument with. Get ready.
Did he win anything?
Carry? I was told the Heat have the best coach in the NBA, DPOTY Candidate in Bam, and Herro who won 6MOTY and is now better than Jimmy. Didn't Jimmy burn out and had to be saved by the role players? Miami will attract players regardless, players will suit up in Utah if the money is right.
He absolutely played like cheeks in every series except the bucks 😂
Everyone wants to play in Miami.
Zach Lavine has been a good fit for the Heat for a while. Could Butler and Lavine be traded for each other yet again? Lavine is draggin out there this year.
It’s wild because we’ve seen guys do worse and get less. Jimmy in that interview did everything right. He was honest. He wasn’t rude. He stated how he felt. Then he gets 7 games. That’s excessive.
You have zero idea what he was doing or saying behind the cameras
Whose making 50 million and quita on his teammates? Do your job
Let's see what's the next team Jimmy Butler will bring to the playoffs 😤 sixers went to ECF with Butler, wolves went to 1st round with Butler after many years and 2 Finals, 3 ECF in Miami for 5years
Preach!
They went to the semis
Yeah maybe if he wants to play hard and find his joy back if not you’ll be getting what Miami is getting from him this year absolutely NOTHING!!! See these dudes don’t even play hard but want all the extensions and benefits of a superstar without actually performing.
Playyers who leave miami end up becoming bums. I wonder why 😅
If he truly cares about winning a chip he'll go to Denver
So, everyone thinks Jimmy's sole issue is money??? Also, Jimmy didn't make each team he played for better???

This is both true, and something I dont exactly understand. How many players worse than Jimmy get max contracts. He is a diva, but as far as results go, he has gotten them at a better rate than almost anyone else.
I really like guys like Jimmy and Jrue Holiday, who do all the things that help you win and am disappointed when guys like Jordan Pool get better contacts than them.
@@nichodemus10Both true? Bro only made one point. What are these two things that are true? Elaborate you foul fiend (SpongeBob reference).
@freshone274 The original poster's statement is true(thing one) And something I dont understand (thing two). The word both is referencing those two things. The sentence works without it, but it was added for the emphasis that I believe the statement is both correct and wrong at the same time (correct in that it will come to pass, and wrong in that I think his value added as more than most max contract players).
That all being said, I checked salaries right after posting and saw that he is a top 12 paid player right now which stunned me a little with the Wolves paying Wiggins over him and Philly choosing Tobias Harris over him. I knew he got paid I Miami, but thought it was not much less than he actually did.

Why didn’t he lift his other, supposedly better and more talented teams?
Both can be true. But like they said he comes in does great for a few years then does this! 9 pts because he’s not feeling it on the basketball court. That’s not just Miami but your team mates and fans you throwing a middle finger to.

Nah Jimmy being Jimmy and Pat isn't having it 😂😂😂 . Jimmy has done this everywhere ... remember the mess he caused in MIN !
Ive been said this about Jimmy Butler for how good he's / unavailable / his personality this is gonna happen almost everywhere he goes unless its a perfect situation. Ive heard quite a few stories about Jimmy Butler from IRL interactions with him whilst he was in Chicago especially during the years Butler was the best player that he was a really unfriendly / not willing to take pictures with fans. Sure it happens with every player but Ive heard about 5-10 stories about this online which makes me think its not a one off thing or fans just making stuff up.
You're absolutely right. The double standard is glaring. When team owners trade or move players for financial reasons, it's often seen as just part of the business. But when players make similar decisions-whether for better contracts, career opportunities, or personal reasons-they can be criticized, labeled as "disloyal" or "troublemakers." It reflects a broader imbalance in how players' autonomy is perceived compared to team owners' power. It's an interesting point about how narratives are shaped based on who's making the move.
Jimmy Bulters needs to go back to where it all started in Chicago and end it there by leading them to a championship!
???😂😂😂
Does the nba cup count?
@@aqdalati Sure does. he played OK.
Says Jimmy take things too personal and can’t let things roll off his back. Well when the owner calls you at in a press conference and tell you to shut up. You best believe that a grown man will not be okay with that. Could have done it behind close doors but Pat choose to do in an unprofessional way.
What Jimmy Butler said is true, he has been carrying the Heat on his back without any other great player. Carry them to 2 finals by himself especially when they didn’t have Tyler Herro in postseason of 2023.
Pat Riley acts like he did anything good without superstars to carry his franchise. Get rid of Jimmy Butler and Miami Heat going to be out of the playoffs plus irrelevant! Just like how they were before Jimmy Butler came along. Lol 😂
Yea you’re definitely not someone that actually watches the miami heat. In the first finals run Goran Dragic was the heats best offensive player and leading scorer. Then got hurt in the finals. In the 2nd run butler was carried in rounds 2 and 3 since he got hurt and everyone believed Caleb Martin deserved the ECF mvp award. Butler was then trash in the finals against Denver.
@ Oh… i definitely watch them play alright. So yeah “Playoff Jimmy” didn’t do anything and got carried to the finals. Lol laughable like anyone is going to believe that.
Dragic was good but sorry you are mistaken Jimmy Butler was the main player for the Heat in the 2020 run.

Fake narrative by the organization to spend a negative narrative to make him disgruntled employee and detrimental to the team? It's okay for the organization to leak information or speak negative about a player? But as soon as, a player speak openly about their feelings and thoughts to the public? It's detrimental to the team. He was being asked by a reporter during a post game interview a question. And he gave an honest statement. It wasn't like he couldn't attend nor make himself available to the reporters to answer their questions. Because if he did that? He would have been fine for non complying with the NBA rules to make himself available to the media. Yes, he could have dodged the question or gave a fake response to the question. But he preferred to give them his honest feelings about the situation. And now people want to tell him to be quiet and shut up and dribble the basketball. Yes, he's fortunate to play professional basketball and make a lot of money in the process. But the same rules needs to be applied to the organization for not being able to say negative things about the player openly to the media. It's unfortunate that management and organizations and coaches can speak negatively of a player. But as soon as a player says something negative or expressed dissatisfaction of an organization? Then they want to label him disgruntled or a problem. But it's not the team, management or organizations that is the problem!?? And before anyone comments don't give me the nonsense that he is supposed to remain professional. However, others don't have to be professional nor be held at a higher standards themselves!!! It's funny! That people can give their opinions and say what they want to say!! But as soon as the employee/player speak up for himself and expressed his frustration and dissatisfaction with the company? Then that individual is the only one that has to remain professional. While others can slander or make false narrative about your character as a individual and a players. But you can't speak up for yourself!! And just like players/employees should be held at a certain standards. So should the organization and/or management should be held at even a higher standards!!!
Man jimmy is a goof ball. Trying to act like this is anyone else’s fault….😂😂😂😂
You’re the village idiot ! He gets paid a lot of money to play hoop !
@@Sicwitit_SquadMAN YOU A GOOFBALL AND WHOEVER RAISED YOU IS ONE AS WELL
Sam Mitchell is exactly right 💯
Zeke, with his medical condition, sounds better each and every day 😊
Jimmy says trade me, you best listen. Jimmy mad because yall not doing everything to win. Send him to the Celtics since y'all quitting on Winning.
JB for JB?
@@Healthy_Toki HELL no.
Oh to the Celtics can afford another player making 50+ million a year?
Unless the Celtics are giving up one of the jays and draft picks, they can kick rocks
Lets be honest, Miami was very good at drafting and hitting on undrafted free agents. But they were not very good at surrounding Jimmy with established veterans and getting him a another superstar to pair with. Those teams that went to the finals overachieved. For what he gave them he deserved more, and after a while you just get tired. So while this "Jimmy does this everywhere he goes" narrative isn't completely wrong...just remember the context.
THANK YOU!!!
People miss the point because he tried to discipline young players in Chicago, push KAT & Wiggins pissing around doing the bare minimum in the Timberwolves, dealt with an up himself Ben Simmons & out of touch coach for 76ers in Brett Brown who wasted years with the talent he had at the time & management pushed Jimmy out.
Jimmy came into Miami in 2019/2020 and took this really young team to the Finals in his first year, and did it again with a better group in 2023 as the 8th seed knocking of a prime Bucks team, a prime Celtics team in the rematch conference finals before losing the chip to the Nuggets.
All he wanted was help from at least a star or another all star besides Bam. He did most of the work, and almost passed out doing Allen Iverson minutes at the playoffs - he was patient until a star joined the team, but Heat management didnt do that and kept finding potential steals & dark horses (Max Strus, Gabe Vincent, Caleb Martin etc.)
He lost his father which we can all agree is a tough loss personally, and during that time with the same mid players and no major stars to help carry, they kept blaming Jimmy expecting more & more when they're not even meeting half way.
That narrative everyone is clickbating and following is just wrong!! Jimmy proved himself big time
They would have given him a max but he is washed now. He always gets injured and doesn't take things seriously anymore
@@slick6699 That's the point - he did everything and for years they didnt recruit anyone and relied on him to make it work when they overworked him sooo much in the playoffs - he literally almost passed out in 2020 and 2023 for playing heavy minutes. Everyone claiming he's washed but he plays heavy minutes with no help - but the real reason is because Pat Riley is an old school head that doesnt like to be challenged. Expecting same NBA Finals after overworking Jimmy and losing his father - gotta out it in perspective bro!!!!!!
Butler, “forget” Miami. Go somewhere better.
Amen. And I'm a looong Heat fan.
good to see Isaiah still working with what he's going through
He ain't quit on his teammates. The organization will ship yo ass off and don't give af about you and your teammates
Jimmy being Jimmy. Does this to all teams that he been to.
As Pat does this to every player.
Pat is being Pat, he did this to Wade, Shaq and pushed Lebron away.
@@thelongnguyens lebron tried to get Spo fried and that did not happen, he left
Oh you mean take them to the finals?
Idc Im on Jimmy’s side
We dont care either
Sam Mitchell kettle calling the pot black lol he dont let nothing slide theeaten his co host like the mafia lol
Same ol same ol with Jimmy Butler . It was samething in Chicago, Minnesota, Philadelphia,now with the Heat .
Hold up this guy talking shit you put your co-worker address on TV
Right lol.
I feel nothing for the heat. They haven’t provided him with any good players. Also the nerve of Sam Mitchell to say anything when he’s been body slammed by Vince Carter and gave the address of a colleague on air. Bruh shut up
They have two all stars around him wtf are you talking about 😂
This is all Pat’s fault. He never takes accountability for what he does. He talks and says sly stuff to turn people away. He did it to Lebron and D Wade the goat of that organization. Pat made this bed because without Jimmy they heat don’t even sniff the finals but hey they will learn 🤷🏾♂️
Um Pat has 9 rings lol im sure he knows more than you or any player
@ and that says nothing to the point I made. Like let’s be fr he sucks as an executive he was gifted the best player and the league and fucked it up to where he went bk to Cleveland. He pushed out his homegrown star because of his ego. He gets another high level player that drags his team to the finals and he fails to put talent around him then talks shit. He sucks as an executive. So since he has all those rings it clearly didn’t teach him how to keep a team together did it 🤦🏾♂️
Pat runs the organization and isn't going to be bullied by players, rightfully so. Wade, similar to Butler, wanted the money and Bron wanted his homies running the show. Nah, not in Miami!
@ running an organization is fine but letting your ego ruin your organization is another thing Pat it literally the nba equivalent to Jerry Jones from the nfl. Bron didn’t want his homies running the show he wanted respect same as D Wade sand as Jimmy now Pat’s ego won’t let him do what needs to be done to keep his stars which is why Miami won’t win
I don't trust anything Isaiah Thomas says Jimmy Butler quit on his teammates unacceptable
You don't tell a grown man to keep his mouth shut
That grown man, works for an organization, not himself. He should let his play talk, along with his teammates, and keep quiet.
@JayCity10 As a man, i wouldn't allow anyone to talk to me like that
35 years old is really up there, plus he was missing games. Why not just finish out the contract? What is so bad you can't finish your contract. Guys finish and leave for another team all the time if the present team doesn't want to pay. When you are aging it gets tougher.
Cause he knows other teams wont have his bird rights or will give him max. He needed riley to extend him
Pat being pat. Trying to act tough but now he's losing even more leverage when trying to trade with other teams. Dummy
Losing what? 35 year old jimmy?
Trust, pat riley is gonna be okay lol hes got 9 rings.
Sam Mitchell was glad he had a job when he played, of course he couldn't understand what superstar players feel
Sam Mitchell with the sneak diss LOL but he right, Jimmy did this in Chicago, Minnesota and now Miami
It’s a tough situation for Miami. They have been allowing him to sit out for at least 2 years and maybe longer however, he’s been a leader at demonstrating playing hard when he’s been on the court and a top producer in the NBA during the playoffs.
Come back to Chicago. We need a small forward.
When he was winning, everyone loves him. Now he old , dirt from past battles is scattered around him.
You either retire or move on. That's it .
Sam Mitchell said that Jimmy does this every three or four years? An abject lie. He really hasn't. He wanted to be the man in Chicago but they jerked him around and after SIX seasons he was moved. Minny was soft and that's very evident. Philly still is soft and Jimmy wasn't traded; he didn't want to sign with them in free agency. Since then, he has spent a good long time in Miami and nearly lead them to a bubble championship. Let's not revive the whole 'Jimmy is a diva' nonsense because that's been bull from the get go.
He literally threw a tantrum in minnesota and chicago. When philly turns you down you know something's wrong with that player, they love giving cash to anybody
@@edgarochoa3122 See, people like you are the problem. "He literally threw" no, he did not. That's a lie. And then people hear you spout nonsense and they just jump on it because it sounds good. You're wrong, period. And you don't know what 'literally' means. And what does 'when Philly turns you down' mean? That franchise is some great organization? How many championships have they won?
Lets be honest, Pat Riley did a DWade to Jimmy Butler. Jimmy wants an extension, but Pat dont want to give him as Butler is already 35 years old. If im a superstar/all star free agent, i will never sign to Miami. Miami organization is like Boston when it comes to how they treat players.
He literally dragged the heat to the finals twice, Riley got him no help in the past 2 offseasons so no wonder he's mad, the team isn't in contention to win which is what he wants on top of not getting the extension. Also rich that Isaiah talks about trust the way he damaged the raptors
Did he literally drag them, or do you not know what the word literally means?
In the first finals run Goran Dragic was heats leading scorer until he got hurt in the finals. In the 2nd run he had a great first round and then had a mediocre next 2 rounds and it was caleb martin, bam, gabe Vincent and max struss that carried him
@@jeffcunningham0389This is some absolute historical revisionist nonsense lol
I'm not quitting on my teammate. I'm quitting on the front office..... I hate when they try to mix contract, negotiations, and team/sportsmanship... Pat Riley was not entertain entertaining Jimmy at all... so what can you do force your way out duh
Sam Mitchell - the man who refused to draw-up a double team on Kobe during his 81pt night,
Coach dude is a joke R we really gonna pretend jimmy didnt take minasota the furthest in the playoffs in that time and the onlyvreason he wanted out was cause kat & Wiggins were not pulling they weight & he wanted them to be held accountable office made it clear it was kat team jimmy said im out period and we all know he was the 2nd if Not best player on the 76er's but they rather gave the max to Tobias harris so he said yet again IM OUT like come on ppl 😒
jimmy did not want to be in mn from the jump and refused to be a leader
@shmizzleshmazzle9830 yes he did not want to be there but I'm not gonna get comfortable and stay somewhere where it's OK to be lazy(kat&wiggins)and when I speak on it management tells me quite this ain't your team this kats team yeah I'm out that just added more fuel to the fire
Ah, my fond memories of Jimmy destroying the Timberwolves. "Butler is out tonight - General Soreness." Is General Soreness a colloquialism for pain in the ass? 😂
👏🏼🤣👏🏼
Jimmy being jimmy, he shows up when he wants to which is actually toxic af
My opinion is Mr J Butler has done this several times before. So, regardless if Mr Riley is a root cause of Mr Butler’s antics in Miami he has done this before.
He has quit on teammates before. Good luck and God bless.
He's setting up many businesses that'll take care of his income without basketball. So he takes the risk. But one way or another...F the Heat!
Simply, Jimmy Butler is soo full of himself and just another sour grape as he ages
Not a good look for Miami.
Exactly!
Butler going to Denver would be a juggernaut out of the West against Boston for a Finals competition. It technically gives Boston a match to truly prepare for and meet obstacle during game scenario.😎
Seeing what Jokic was able to do with a guy like Westbrook makes you really wonder just how good butler and jokic would be together
He hasn't done this everywhere he's been but it sure is trending in that direction.
Pat Riley is tripping.
Nope. Franchise comes first
I agree you can't quit on your teammates
Well if your teammates are not as good then what?
i love they act like jimmy just never shows up. we forget how he has gone on multiple finals runs and deep playoff runs
What happened in Minnesota was he was trying to motivate players to play with more consistency. Philly should have kept him
“Forget you” Lol Zeke is funny! 😂
Dude averages 60 games a season for $48,798,677 & is 35. I get you want a chip but you backed yourself into a corner with that super generous contract.
