Jimmy is not contending, he wants a bag like everyone else, and once he gets it, he will be in rapid decline unwilling to try as hard, NBA is a great example how money changes people.
Kelly oubre Jr got Jimmy on the leg which is bad
What would you do if you are never on a Championship contending team? You're gonna go get paid at the end of your career if you can. Consolation prize.
you are spot on. i have been observing the changes in darius garlands personality this year now that he is making so much more mula. i miss the old DG.
Yea NBA, NFL, NHL, MBL and every pro sport where big money is involve.
Money just exposes who people really are including those who want the money from the well off individual
I don’t know who Bradley Beals agent is, but they deserve an award of some kind. I don’t understand how he was able to get a no trade clause. It’s crazy that LeBron has one as well for his age but he’s earned it. I don’t understand how they’re even on the same level.
Yeah, it's absolutely insane. At least with Lebron he's earned it over his career
He did it by manipulating a bad and desperate organization in dc
They caught Washington in a desperate state. Then his agent got his son who's the CEO of the Suns to trade for him. My guess is they thought that relationship would leave them safe if they needed to move Beal but that now seems like a misstep.
the Wizards gave him the contract and well, it's the Wizards.
@@jojetparedes4024 i agree but the suns should have made him completely get rid of it before they signed him. Now their franchise will burn for it, going from a champ contender to a joke with no future in a few seasons.
Respect on top of respect for what Butler has done in the playoffs, but any GM that maxes him at this age should be charged with criminal negligence.
Edit- also, respect to Beal. Absolute masterclass in bag thievery.
Beal's agent is the GOAT 😂
@@EmptyxVoidTobias Harris’s agent is the goat lol
At least Beal was an all star 3 times
@@EmptyxVoid especially with that NO TRADE clause. LOL
Great comment 😂
Butler was injured during the last Heat playoffs
I feel like a lot of these older superstars like Harden and Jimmy don’t really understand or care that the new CBA makes it very difficult to massively overpay players for past service and because they have been automatically getting the max for a decade plus, they’ve kind of lost touch with reality.
he's a diva. and at 35, he ain't getting a max contract. he just ain't. he can cry, pout and sulk all he wants but it is the truth.
Never underestimate how STUPID NBA gms are.
Bro shut up, dude dragged a sorry team to 2 finals. Who else did that?
@@Justinian43 with you 110 percent margin!! Plays with force and brains - one of the best 2 way players our time
@@generalzod7959 way more than a diva! Your description is shallow unsympathetic and to me just lame !check my other comment. JB is what a player in the Association should be!
Napfather Riley is all pride no work. JB overachieved with just Caleb as best partner. Not with Bosh, Wade and Ray.. just Caleb.. Jimmy's that good.
Josh Hart had a great quote about Jimmy. He said that Jimmy plays like he's in a video game in that he goes off on a bunch of side quests throughout the season. He seems to check out of games and go off on these little tasks instead of just playing the game.
Same Josh Hart that intentionally injured Jimmy and prevented us from seeing one of the greatest playoff runs ever in 2023. That Josh Hart?
Sounds like a Hater to me
bro cant even defend Jimmy lol
so he’s not tryna win?
@BLACKSTA361ayeee stop spreading nonsensical babble
@BLACKSTA361 you know, coming from a Cheat fan talking about "intentionally injuring" someone it's quite... a thing
Jimmy butler is the only player in the nba that can simultaneously not try in the regular season and also have an unquestionable work ethic
His PR team is legendary, that's why
he needs to understand that no one is bigger than the program and everyone is replaceable..
Specially if you are going against Pat Riley
FACTSSSSSSSSSSS tell em my brother!!! no one gets passed the godfather. Pack ya bag and take ur bum ass coffee with you.
Bullshit LeBron literally trades players and gets coaches fired 😂.
@@Mely83exactly, LeBron, a guy who to a lot of people is the greatest player ever. Jimmy hasn’t done anything to have this demands. Pat let a prime Bron walk and he’s going to pursue old washed Jimmy? Lol
@@Mely83 except Bron tried that in Miami and Riley told him to get out of his office lol. Bron tried to get Spo fired and 15 years later he's still there...Pat Riley is the last guy on earth that would give in to this kind of nonsense.
Fame and money changed him.
No..too much hair treatment. . .went to his brain
black people with money am I right?
This new CBA is going to humble a lot of "max" players.
Best outcome would be him not getting traded. Declines his player option and then is left with nothing but vet minimum offers and he goes to China and we never have to hear about him again.
It’s not about winning. Nobody is buying tix to watch Jimmy play.
Of course they are, pretty sure people in Miami do every week wtf lol. Doesn't mean he's in the right.
😂@@michaelhaydenbell
Jimmy should've demanded a trade in 2023 off season when Miami didnt offer him max. his value was high after a finals run. Some other team wouldhve extended his contract
Jimmy is a moody player;he play as a star from time to time but many times he play without energy and commitment to win.His ego is inflated and do not deserve the millions that he is asking. The Heat are better know without Jimmy. At this moment he is a bad apple.
The Heat got blown out by the worst offense in the league by 36 points without jimmy and youre saying theyre better
I think to some extent, Jimmy has earned some superstar rights.
You're definitely right that Jimmy is no superstar, and he does play arrogantly at times, which is wrong on Jimmy side, but where I think Jimmy has the earned the right to make demands to an extent is that he's the best player on whatever team he is on, mainly after his Bulls time.
TimberWolves; Kat and Wiggins weren't winning anything when Jimmy was there, and while not Jimmy isn't as talented as those two, his drive made him better than those two.
76ers; probably the best situation because he was 2nd behind Embiid, but 76ers front office was too scared to "handle" Jimmy and chose a lesser talent in Tobias Harris.
Miami; Jimmy is arguably their best player, which he has carried them into the playoffs and finals.
Jimmy has admitted he isn't the most talented or gifted. So, being on teams where he's arguably the best player that can also significantly help in winning. In my opinion, he does deserve *SOME* rights to make demands.
Also, as an not rich person, I won't knock anyone wanting to get paid, especially those who have risen from the bottom 🤷♂️
Bro he's BEEN paid, he's been set for life for about a decade now lol. If you're still chasing money that hard after that then you'd need to gain some perspective on life.
@@michaelhaydenbell Agree! 2025-26 season Butler still has a player option of 52 million extension with Heat. It is not that he does not have big contract on hand. He wants a long term big contract.
Stop with the carrying into the finals narrative. Bro was mid outside that Bucks series
He is the Miami heat superstar player who has had more success than the following players in his tenure in Miami
Paul George
Joel embiid
Kevin Durant
Russel Westbrook
Deaaron fox
Donovan Mitchell
Zion
Trae young
Anthony edwards
Ja morant
Kat
Sga
Lamelo
Demar derosan
James harden
FACTS...and Paul George just signed a 4yr, $212 milly max contract and he is ONE year younger than Jimmy. Tired of the Jimmy hate.
Spot on
he is better than pg13, and he got a mad bag
Not a good example as its working out horribly for Philly. seeing someone make a mistake and then making the same mistake is lunacy
A mad bag i wouldn't go that far he has edge grit and poise . He is not that fancy with the dribble like PG 13 but he can play back to the basket and doesn't back down from the physicality . But he has clear advantage on PG is that he has mad balllz he like to take the big shot . And that shit u don't learn u either have it or not plain and simple .
Sixers are bozos for life
PG took a calculated risk at age 34. He declined an extension and played in 74 games, the most for him since 2018.
He could have gotten hurt and lost most of what he got.
Jimmy has security for next season in a 52M option which PG didn't have. If Jimmy wants to go the PG route, he would need to play, excel, and hit UFA.
Comparing them is like comparing apples and grenades.
@@loicthiant7448pg is a joke, he has no impact on the clips and now 76rs. He is just fancy
All im saying is this.
Bam Adebayo got the max and hes not only stalled but even regressed as a player
Does he deserve a max because hes younger? Cause hes clearly reached his ceiling is not a better player than Jimmy Butler even now
I dont get Pat Rileys logic
Being younger means more long term options as it relates to the contract being tradeable down the line. Jimmy's contract would be hard to move at a max deal when he's 36
Bro. Because with Jimmy it's a 100% GUARANTEE that he's going to regress over that contract, not just a slight risk.
Bam was never going to be better but you're fooling yourself if you didn't think he played a massive part in Miami playoff runs they don't make it past the second round without him.
@@dred9174 He was terrible for most of the 2022 and 2023 run. Maybe in 2020
@BLACKSTA361 Jimmy was terrible too outside of that Bucks series in 2023 lol
No this is a Pat Riley issue because he did this to magic, Kareem, shaq, Lebron and Dwade. Butler should have known if they not taking care of wade why would they do that for you. The heat gonna have a hard time getting a superstar.
Dont forget he did this to alonzo mourning as well
Toxic old dude
@ exactly nobody will hold him accountable how he thinks he is more important than some of the best players to have ever played. He has always had an ego. What he get mad at Jimmy doing he did to lebron and wade.
Facts
He's not exactly hard done by. He's going to have to scrape by on the peanuts he's getting now.
LeBron was going back to Cleveland anyway. No matter what Riley did. Shaq was also never the same player after that 06 run as he played for 3 teams in 4 years after that and was a shell of himself.
People forget that last time he was in the playoffs (1 and half year ago). He was the second best player in the playoffs and sent 3 contenders home.
Basketball terrorist gabe vincent and caleb martin did that.
Also, Spoelstra sending those two bums and Adebayo to injure eerybody in their way
What has he won? And what he don’t lately?
"Second best player in the playoffs and sent 3 contenders home" No I think people forget that he wasn't that and the Heat as a team did. Outside of that Bucks series Jimmy was MID and got carried by Spoelstra coaching and Gabe Vincent and Caleb Martin hot shooting nights consistently....not to mention nearly blowing a 3-0 lead until Tatum got injured and was a no show in the finals....I don't understand why y'all overrate him...
@@jordancromwell Tatum didn't "get injured", he was injured on purpose by vincent
All that money spent for hairdos requires a higher base salary.
If Michael Jordan had a son in The NBA, he would behave and play like Jimmy Butler.
Because he has a son in the NBA. And his mame is Jimmy Butler
he would prolly have a ring too
Legit bruh 🎉🎉🎉
But he doesn't. He has a son (the one we know about) and he's a clown. That's what happens when you grow up in the world with a quazzillionaire father who neglects you, you don't even make it that far.
I don’t watch Heat games because I don’t watch the opps but tell me a team that has made an NBA FINALS without a Superstar. We gotta stop acting like jimmy is not him.
Facts
04 Pistons actually won a championship without a Superstar. Jimmy ain't made an All-Star team in 3 years and never averaged 25 ppg in a season. Great player, but he is only Him in a few series in his career.
@@MikeM-np4odmagic never averaged 25 either, sometimes you need more than one number 🤷♂️
@rob.parsnips Apples and oranges based on eras. Magic's 23ppg in 86-87 was 10th in the NBA that year. Jimmy's 22ppg for Miami in 22-23 wasn't even top 20 that season. Plus Magic was giving you 10-12 apg. Also hate to do the win share argument..but Jimmy only had one year in Miami with a win share over 10. Magic had a win share over 10 every season of his career except 2. Just different levels to being HIM. Got to do it all the time or consistently not just a few series in your career to be a superstar. Jimmy has been great, top 5 Heat player all-time based on his playoff performances, but overall superstar...nah.
They would not have made the finals and semis the last 3 years without butler wtf you talking about ? And they totally would have beat Boston if jimmy was healthy you are just wrong.
He is long lost son of Latrell Sprewell
Jimmy Butler should Google "Letrell Sprewell...feeding his family". He needs to see how that turned out.
I heard a lot of thing you think, but not backed by any data or proof. Bro, Jimmy is on a level and there are stats to prove it. The fact he did it coming from second round last pick is just impressive, what are you talking about? Jimmy had some epic playoff games, epic. As good as Kobe and Mike, look it up - If Pat gave him a roster, he would be a champion, probably twice. You trippin
IF and WOULD is applicable to everyone 😂 you can also say that for embid or harden or paul george. jimmy stas is not that impressive, look at his all time points, even john stockton has more points than him 😂
Jimmy is a slightly better version of Middleton but he thinks he’s Kobe
Prime Middleton clears Jimmy butler even
@ nah I don’t think Middleton takes those Miami teams to the finals.
@@TH-cq7bj ur slow
@@southerncoastproductions7587 👍
@@TH-cq7bj He wouldn't just like Jimmy didn't...the guy who literally was mid outside of that Bucks series lol
Jimmy is a superstar. Jimmy is a brand. A lot of worse players than Jimmy. Pat failed him this time round. Pat has failed since Lebron left.
He should be playing in China or elsewhere. NBA is not for him. Ungrateful players don't deserve this privilege.
No He don’t I completely disagree You guys be chatting Jimmy Butler this decade alone so far Beat out Giannis & Tatum in the East with subpar team made to finals 2wice more than KD Bron Cp3 Harden any from his era put some respect 😂
Screw all these millions they're making too, players have gotten too much power and money over the years and look where it's lead to. They need to redo how much they get paid and if they miss games they lose money or get suspended, and the amount of 3s being jacked up is ridiculous there needs to be a ceiling of how many they shoot before they turn into 2s or something because right now it's a 3 point contest back and forth for most games and the plays are virtually the same on every team it's gotten pretty damn boring to watch most of them, I have league pass for free and I stopped watching and started mostly watching highlights so I can scrub through if it's a 3 point contest.
🙄
He misses 20 games per season, consistently.
either you don't remember, or you deliberately omitted the face that Koby refused to shoot the ball because phil Jackson pissed him off
JB and Stephen Curry, all they need now is K Durant!
Mr Nesley Louis 😮
Always liked Jimmy. Dude is the type of player every fans loves. But I agree, he was never actually a #1. The Heat overachieved. They made it to the finals because the TEAM played above their heads. Jimmy is a high end number 2. Philly messed up by letting him go. Probably would’ve got it done with Embiid. But still, he would’ve been a number 2. I think the 2 teams that he’d elevate are the Pacers and the Hawks.
Hear me out Jimmy doesnt say anything to the media does his job. Opts out of his contract in Free agency and gets s big contract. But if i was him i would pick up the last year 52m
Reality is this: Butler dragged a sorry ass team to 2 finals 3 conference finals in 4 years. Nobody as a lonely number one option with no help has done that. The closer we got was 2019 Dame when he dragged the blazers to conference finals.
You all are just so used to mediocre "stars" like Embiid, PG, Ben Simmons, Zion that you think Butler belongs in the same category. Reality: he doesn't! Despite a sleepy old man in Pat Riley not giving him help, dude still took Miami to the highest of places. So give him the respect he deserves. EVERY FINALIST besides 2018 Lebron had a co-star or a very solid team to get there or win it all. Butler had...accending Bam, washed Lowry, washed Dragic, injured Terry Rozier, the remains of Kevin Love, inconsistent Tyler Herro and role players who are competent in the Heat system but suck in other teams like Caleb Martin, Strus and Gabe Vincent.
Jimmy was great for Sixers but Sixers front office was too stupid to sign him. Jimmy carried Miami to the finals twice and pushed the Lakers to game 6 while he was missing 2 of his starters. I think he has a right to be cocky. And the only one who loses if Miami doesn't trade him is Miami because he walks at the end of the seeason. Riley wasted Butler's prime by not getting him the help he needed to win a ring. Riley as a team president. Besides Butler, how many stars have they signed other than Jimmy?
The NBA gave the Heat those two games didn’t want a sweep in the finals bad for tv
Lol saying Jimmy isn't that guy is funny, he doesn't have the normal superstar gifts but he's still that guy that dragged Miami to the finals twice mostly by himself. Jimmy changed but you can't say he's not that guy 😂
He was never going to get them over the hump though. And he's especially not that guy anymore
@ well no, not by himself but who does. Some teams never get some players help. Just brought up to my nephew how Rose had who as his shooting guard all the years. Same with Jimmy in Miami, most teams got healthy during the bubble and he still dragged them to the finals. Iverson with the 76ers as well. Loyalty should go both ways and I guess that's why players act the way they do or become toxic to get paid before the final year hits. It's just wether he can find a team to pay him and he might find a team, there's always a team lol
@ and props on staying active with ppl bro, many say they do it and not really. This like my 3rd account and follow you on the other 2 and just added you on this one too lol
LMAO😂 20+5+5 without defence, almost solo! Without system he is nothing, and Wolves/76 showed it
@@And.One.Hoops1 your just wrong bro but go off! 😂
He owes Timberwolve fans a refund
Beal’s agent couldve gotten CP3 on the lakers with Kobe 😂
I think Jimmy has earned the respect. He is that guy lol he literally willed an average Miami team to the playoffs multiple years I’d say he has better return than a KD and LeBron in that aspect 😂. I guarantee rob polinka wouldn’t be talking shit in the media to LeBron and if he was in that series Miami probably would have won. So wtf are we really talking about here 😂.
You paid attention all these years compared to this guy making video about jimmy with questioning takes
😂
Instead of jimmy saying alright bet let me go show u imma max player … instead he shows he definitely not worth it
either Miami eats part of his contract or all of it it aint gonna happen. reminds me of allen iverson diva type attitude. We all seen Harden get his way multiple times. If Jimmy thinks he as good, thats probably why he thinks he can do the same. The league is at fault for letting this happen too many times.
Suns should just buy out Bradley Beals contract if they do not want him. Then they can get butler and he can get what he wants. It happened in Brooklyn with Joe Johnson, so why not try it and give it a swing.
I am 100% sure that a buyout option will not work because both the team and the player must agree to it in order to terminate the contract. Even if the Suns want to do it, do you think Beal would agree and give up his remaining money?
As for getting Jimmy, even if the Suns get rid of Beal, they still need to complete the trade with the Heat no matter what. The problem the Suns have is that they don't have a good trade package that Riley wants.
Very true. Bro spitting facts 💯
When he beat the starters with the reserves, he was on that level lol. He isnt now but he was then.
Hes a better player now. Could prolly beat the miami heat starters with the shanghai sharks
@BLACKSTA361soon the Shanghai Sharks will be the only team that will sign Jimmy Drama.
I get it. He is not who he used to be. But to think he has not earned this type of expectation is just insane. He took a Heat team to two NBA finals. Two! Getting through Boston and MW. I am not saying he is right but he has a point. Let’s remember some of these players out here getting max like PG and he hasn’t achieve what Jimmy has.
Jimmy is everything he thinks he is. if you led a finals twice with average role players you deserve to get paid idc what anybody says
I have more respect for Jimmy than I do KD. Just my personal opinion
I mean... Its not just about play. Its also about bringing attention to the team. Would you guys be interested in the heat right now if Jimmy wasnt there?
Man stars these days.....not worth what they're paid, not all but A LOT.
Thank you all this hard work jimmy did on the heat now giving it to the next player,he will be crying
This video is on point. He's a part time player. Great video.
The current NBA players are too overpowered. They thought they were bigger than the teams and the officials .
Most delusional take ever. Who was miami heat before jimmy arriving, wade retiring? Answer is dog shit team, organization. Jimmys arrival, presence alone changed franchise direction, also made everyone step up. He was the most important piece for miami to go far in playoffs. 2 finals apperances, going beast mode every playoffs even hurt. So many years have passed and Pat Riley never made moves to improve roster, help jimmy, heat, but somehow he is the problem😂😂😂 Same for minnesota, philly he called out every bs on team, organizational level as whole main reason he was not welcomed anywhere. it's ok when organization bashing players, trading them. It's busines right😂as soon players talk, he a problem, cancer😂. Like f out of here. He is still better then guys with 70-80 mil contracts even at 35
How about Butler Lavine swap? Bulls would get cap relief next season to sign star players plus a chance to contend for a playoff spot this season.
It's not a terrible idea and I've thought about this before.....but I really don't see the Heat doing it
HEAT has Herro they don’t need LaVine
I think Jimmy should be traded to G-LEAGUE.
2 nba finals 3 conference finals in 4 years … I think he thinks he’s a winner
He is the best player in the Heat since LeBron and Dwade days. That's who Jimmy is. He wants his money. Heat paid out sorry, little center name Bam, who can't score and can't get any rebounds.
Warriors wouldn't work in the long run with butler due to him and draymond would clash way too much.
He's' not KD, LeBron, etc. But in the playoffs... dude turns into MICHAEL JORDAN!
straight up FACTS.
I'm with Jimmy on this... 100%
Jimmy is getting his. People act like he's hurting people. Leave the man alone and let him get his money!
Jamal? Didnt realize you had another channel lmao subscribed
Appreciate it brother 🙏
2 yrs, 112 for jimmy butler is insane. Even worse on a contender that already has big contracts. Yikes.
Any gm offering a 35 year old Jimmy not loyal butter a long term contract should be fired.
Bradley Beals contract is ridiculous, no franchise in their right mind will trade for him
I remember back in the chicago days of butler he was kind of like this already, my dad RIP, him and i use to see he would try to out do DRose we would get so mad and were happy when he was traded, don't get me wrong I like his grit and grind but his attitude is just bad, and the suns oh man getting Beal was the stupidest trade in recent history he was liability from the get go with his no trade clause that he has NO BUSINESS having, I don't think any player should ever have one again they can hold a team hostage and ruin the season or even possibly their draft chances.
Bro ist the second best player in Miami.. And carried them to the Finale.. Thats who he is....
For a basketball player is crazy he didn't show more humility when it came to DRose.
good video!
i will add 2 things:
1. he became a massive flopper in recent years. he rely heavily on fake calls and free throw points.
2. in contrast to the myth, jimmy didn't pull his heat teamates in the playoffs. they pulled him until he sometimed showed up and took all the credit.
All of his grievances with all his previous franchises have been justified until this one now at the Heat. To try and say that all the other dramas have been the same as this one now is off the mark.
Update: Butler's agent has told the Memphis Grizzlies not to trade for him.
Since Jimmy is reporting he will decline his player option to get a max in free agency he will simply refuse to re-sign in Memphis.
There is no joy to be had in Memphis evidently.
Phoenix is insane to even consider it.
100% right, jimmy at this point in his career is not worth a max contract. More than a vet minimum id admit. but he needs a big reality check for sure
That Jimmy for KD trade gonna hit
Jimmy Butler vs. Pat Riley is equivalent to a modern soft diva, meeting an oldschool hard no bs Godfather.
Lol pretty much
Can’t lie dude I really like this channel
A homeless nobody that now thinks he’s too good for 50 million per year.
I know what Jimmy did,he help the Heat went to the Final twice. He is worth the hassle. Any NBA teams didn’t want him( Bulls,Timberwolves,and 76er’)- didn’t want to win. On the hand, Jimmy ain’t going to get $40-50 millions per years extension.
I’m convinced Jimmy butler has tiny hands. For years it look like 100% of His dunks are 2 handed cuz He can’t go up with 1. If anyone has a link with Jimmy doing a 1 handed dunk (not off a lob) post it
I never thought about it but I think you're right. Maybe he's one of those players with a smaller wingspan than height idk.
He’ll probably just cry for another trade if he did get sent anywhere 🤦🏽♂️
No one have loyalty to the game , they only have is love for the money ,, 😂😂😂😂 they all should get pay the same ,
jimmys an individual and you dont have any clue of how conversations with Pat went down, Pat doesnt seem like the type of guy who cares about his players feelings, its a bussiness but have that same standard for the players. At the end of the day all of us would be doing whats best for us.
I see it’s the easy trend to blame Jimmy for everything. Miami has failed Jimmy, not the other way around.
Jimmy > MJ
The Antonio Brown diva syndrome 😂
Jimmy might benefit from a visit to the AITA subreddit.
Let me tell y'all what the Heat is going to do: keep him. Send him home if necessary or buy him out. Riley has the advantage and non of the assets to make a trade, especially to the Suns for Beal because they know Beal is a grifter. Jimmy just feels like he's owed more, but Pat doesn't pay for past performances unless you're loyal to the franchise. Look at his track record. He's unrelenting. He's always been FOR player economic empowerment, if and only if it serves him. He's a former player himself and he sees how the money AFFECTS these players: the money, life changing money CHANGES them. No matter the sport. And we've seen countless examples of this. So Pat doesn't care. He'll wait him out and let him walk. Pick up your 50 mil and hit the door. Pat is like the old school Mafia Don Joe Profaci: absolute loyalty and NO money for his best guys. Would rather pay the loyal soldiers OK money and keep their EGOs in check.
100% true he ain't franchise player just watch the NBA finals of Miami and Denver he's predictable when it's crucial time and there's just 3secs left and it's and he has the ball you lose.
can the heat just move on? let him walk. Miami don't have to do anything. as a fans, we thank you but can we all just moved on?
2 finals appearances as the franchise star.. yeah he had a good damn. Career..
But jimmy IS that guy. I understand he's very tough on everyone but he is one of the most hardworking players even at his age right now. He got the Miami heat a team that should've never even been a contender to the finals twice and to a ecf all in the span of 5 years in Miami(one of the seasons he was injured). Also you mention that he's not a superstar and although that is true for the reg season no one can deny what kind of a player he is in the playoffs. Stat wise, play wise, whatever you want when jimmy is playing in the playoffs he gets the team farther than they were without him. When jimmy claims that he's that guy and should be paid more how can you even deny it at this point. His only faults are that he's hard on teammates and coaches, which sure is not a good trait but he gets those wins
He is! 🎉🎉🎉
17 ppg for 55m. Hes already been paid for past service.
As much as I’d love for Jimmy to go to Gotham to reignite the Knicks/Heat rivalry of the 90s, I don’t see Miami trading before the deadline let alone to a likely playoff opponent.
Then again, I’m ready to see my Knicks be title contenders again, and a team-up of Jimmy Buckets with Brunson & KAT could be kinda “super” as teams go…hey I can dream, can’t I?? 😅🤔🙃
Would poison a solid team...dont need him
It's been confirmed MIami is trading butler to the Raptors!
He's been hurt/off the floor 20% of the time the last 5-6 years. Put that together with his attitude you lay out here, it's understandable why Pat R smacked him down. He happens to have an ego and track record too.
