Everybody’s just ignoring that Riley basically brought zero help or roster improvements in all of Jimmy’s years? They overachieved because of pure passion and effort. There is much more for Jimmy to be unhappy about. Miami basically got Jimmy and rode him till the wheels fell off
I guess Gabe Vincent, Max Streuss, Duncan Robinson, and Caleb Martin didn't exist? Drafting Jaime Jazquez never happened. Getting Kyle Lowry also just never happened. The Heat brought in help, but the salary cap is a thing that exists, and you can't do much in free agency when you're paying a third of the cap to a 35 year old who misses 25 games a year. This team did a damn good job for being a small market team, having no stockpiled draft capital from a rebuild, and kept finding ways to replenish. Duncan Robinson was an overpay, but that's really the only misstep that the Heat have made. The go to guy got old. It happens, Teams fizzle out. Bam Adebayo was never a franchise scorer. Tyler Hero isn't the man. The Heat got blasted for not making a Harden deal, Harden left the team in Philly a year and a half later because, that's what Harden does. Sometimes you do almost everything right, and still lose. This team needs to be blown up. The Heat are not known for full tear down rebuilds. It's going to be interesting to see what they do.
Shaq doesnt talk about dudes contracts when they are in negotiating a new contract. Once you sign, he talks about you if you aren't living up to it. Gobert is definitely not worth his contract as he can't score and gets taken out of games in the PLAYOFFS.
@@Dollar-zb2ikbecause it doesn’t breed success to be trash talking when you’re team is out of the playoffs. Also he’s trash talking when not winning anything it’s embarrassing from Riley’s POV
When Kenny said would you give Jimmy 3 years at 60mil, that’s a perfect way to sum it up. He’s 35 and has not been as durable as bron. So justifying that size of a contract at this stage is hard to do
It's not always about money. Jimmy wants to win a championship and with the way the Heat roster has been constructed for the last several years. Miami Heat have no chance of winning. They made it to the Finals twice as an underdog team, thats incompetence from management. All other contender teams have improved the Heat have stayed the same.

Always been a fan of Butler's game. Watched him since his days as a role player for the Bulls. Worked his way into a superstar role and led Miami to 2 Finals. It is sad to see this, but I think if he joins the right team, he can still win a chip before he retires

Pat Riley wasn't giving a long-term contract to a 35 year old player who is has been injury-prone every year in Miami. His performance this season (17.6 ppg) shows decline. Smart basketball decision. Trade him when he still has value. I guarantee Pat Riley wasn't going to cave in to Jimmy's request of getting traded to specific teams. Pat Riley isn't the Minnesota coach. Jimmy is a good player, but giving a long-term contract to him at this point in his career would be a mistake.
All Butler was after was an extension. Not exactly a 'long term contract'... 3 more years of a highly motivated Jimmy Butler would not be a liability for any team. If he does go to the Suns, and he is happy there, you really wanna bet against a Durant/Butler/Booker combination? I dont.

That Finals run showed just how elite he is, but the Heat never made a serious effort to pair him with another star. Instead, they’ve settled for aging players past their prime. Honestly, the Heat have been operating on a bargain mentality ever since the LeBron era and Jimmy is the only one that kept them relevant.
@@baldeagle4710he took the Heat to the finals twice and Pat Riley didn’t make a single move in FA trying to help him instead he refused to pay the good role players. Spo and Jimmy were why they did anything past 5 years
@@baldeagle4710100%! Jimmy is not a superstar. He is just a really good player. The Heat needs to blow this whole thing up. Get rid of Bam, Herro and all of those high contracts on pretty good players that are always injured.
@@elizabethgeorge168 give me a break. When has Jimmy ever played at an mvp level? He is so inconsistent doesn’t even show up half the time for regular season games, so because he doesn’t put in effort they always have a low playoff seed
lol between Pat Riley and the owner they don’t wanna make any real moves because the heat are not a contender. Jimmy been dragging that team for years.
I could be wrong, but when jimmy was gutta, grudgy player, he was the man. But soon as he started rocking the purses and perms, he turned a little bratty. Miami always been a up and down team. They had wade and LeBron and still lost games badly. Jimmy rather wear perms, purses and show his feminine side than be that hard noise player he use to be. NBA players are living a lottery life style every day. You can actually decide who you want to be, especially if you’re healthy, no drugs or sloppy women. No excuses when you’re blessed with the best of the best opportunities.
4:28 if kenny actually thinks that Jimmy gets all the shots think again, he's averaged the same amount of shot attempts in the regular season as Herro. his usage only goes up in the playoffs cos otherwise they would've never gotten to the finals, let alone twice. the whole point is that Jimmy's usage is actually scary low compared to other 'first options' in the league. Plus he never got any real help
He was looking from both perspectives. Shaq was saying Jimmy could and should be closer but maybe not all the money in order to keep winning as a priority.
happiness is just a state of mind... whether or not u get all the money u want u can still be unhappy.. jimmy remember where u came from, and from there, the blessings that went ur way... u r waaaaay more luckier than most people in terms of income... consider myself... retired engr, applied mathematician... monthly pension less than 1k dollars per month... i'm still happy... i have helped many students.. they may or may not remember me.. it doesn't matter to me.. really.. it's just a state of mind... i also came from nothing and now i have better foods, and happy to acquire a hundred dollar guitar...
Bruh I swear it’s an interview out when an nba player from the 90’s said when they wanted to get traded they will play bad on purpose!This is what jimmy doing!
YES he is lying based on context. Was D WADE let go ? YES !! Was D.WADE top notch and on fire to win the team another championship or was he just plodding away sucking up the air and taking away a roster spot for a hungry lion >? Let me help you -- he was no longer the FLASH anymore... he lost two step not just one ! Old dogs has wisdom but thats it. Bark no BITE !!
@bluesyace9564 2020.. he had 6 Points on game 4 of 1st round with Heat winning 4-0..he had 40 vs Bucks but then had 13 ...on the finals he had One game with 40 but Then has 12.. 2021 Lost on the first round with 4 horrible games scoring 10 and 12..
Wade and LeBron still played through their contracts before going somewhere else as "FREE AGENTS" Butler still under contract 1+1, so disappointed with him.
Any player that publicly says they want out of playing for a team under the contract they both signed. Should allow the new team to dismiss the current contract and write another one. Now in this case your Boi gets a extension and paid.. But it's less than Half of what he thinks he's going to get. So then he's gonna force his way out from a team he aint even signed with yet. hahaha. Ya like loser premadonnas way way to much.
As a Heat fan, Butler put effort in his first year by taking us to the Finals & playing his heart out. Second year was disappointing, third year was great, despite the game 7 loss, & the first round vs the Bucks the following year was fantastic. After that series, however, the Monstars suddenly took his talents lol he wasn’t even the third best player on the team. He’s played less than 60 games a season a few times since he arrived & has underwhelmed half the time. I think it’s time for a change of scenery.
That one I didn't like, but otherwise it's a hard decision to pay him $180 M in 3 years. I guess they were hoping to get Damian but couldn't afford Damian. Some players sacrifice pay to get a championship but others would rather choose money. Can someone tell me who sacrificed pay for a championship? Serious question.
@@denniszenanywhere It’s not a hard decision. With today’s medicine and recovery players are extending their primes. Jimmy can still perform at a high level at 38 with his body maintenance and play style. He’s never really been an above the rim player so regressing athleticism isn’t really a concern. He gets his in the midrange and around the basket. You can’t find another player with his mix of qualities that isn’t already a max player. The advanced stats show he’s been a top 5 player over the last 4-5 years. And he’s proven he can get you to the highest of heights
I don't know if you watch the video shaq said he cut some of his payments to get some players during his time in Miami rewatch it again bro@@denniszenanywhere
@@giancarlocorrell5893being able to do it and actually doing it are two entirely different things. There are way too many nights where you check a heat boxscore or watch the game and jimmy’s in street clothes on the bench. If thats who he was when he was younger then what’s gonna change when he’s older?
Pat Riley (in my mind) represents that old mafia archetype. I think he let Wade go because Wade's best friend put the org in an awkward spot and ruined everything. Only player he kept was Bosh who ended retiring from a heart murmer.
He needs to move his old ass around behaving like fake movie characters. He messed up the heats chance of getting a ring by not getting Jimmy help these last 4 years.
@chuckk2fuego76 NOT TRUE! They lost Gabe Vincent and Caleb Martin to FA , they payed Tyler all that money, Duncan Robinson regressed, I wouldn't have signed Kyle Lowrie (lol) they've made moves and drafted and developed players . They signed K Love. They're too competitive to tank and not good enough to win it all. Stuck in mediocrity
I know what he means by not wanting to be in the corner in Miami, but he's not gonna be first option in any of the teams his agent listed as his preferred choice. Maybe Warriors with Steph and Dennis would be ideal, he'd be a good older leader at Houston, Phoenix are a bit dysfunctional and too top heavy. Lastly the Mavs are already really good, but he'd be third maybe even fourth to PJ unless he locks in on defence.
@@reckon7457 It wouldn't make any sense at the Mavs in terms of spacing and overall fit imo. He's gotta accept a spot up shooting and D role cause Mavs have 2 of the best ball handlers in the sport. Butler isn't a POA defender so it would be like adding a better version PJ Washington while reducing their own depth. Sort of pointless imo
@@aryamanmani4025 It would work if Mavs doesn't have Klay or if they trade him for Butler which i doubt will happen because they probably promised Klay they would have him in the roster to try for a championship run. Luka, Kyrie, Jimmy, PJ and Gaff/Lively can go toe to toe with any team. Jimmy would give the Mavs more grit and experience than they already have.
The Heat tried to get greedy and overplayed their hand waiting out the Dame Lillard situation because they had leverage knowing Dame wanted to be there.. Instead of just trading the package the Blazers wanted. Instead Dame went to Milwaukee and the rest is history. We will never know how Butler and Dame would have played together.
You’re a 36 year old veteran team leader walking around with green hair and always injured. He probably piss Pat off every time he sees him in the practice facility
You're absolutely right. A lot of people don't know the difference between a True 1 and a 2. He might have been a 1B in his prime, but now? Definitely a 2, if not a 3. I think he could really help in Denver but they can't afford him.
Jimmy has always been a defensive first player who handles pressure extremely well. He has never been a consistent go to scorer, just a go to facilitator. Ideally he needs someone to carry the load the first 3 quarters offensively for him so he can show up in the 4th and take over
This is absolute facts, he’s not a 1a. 1a guys are players like LeBron, steph, kd, Giannis, etc. that’s never been Jimmy and it’s showed these past few years
I aways supported Jimmy, but I don't respect this diva minded team hopping era. He's abandoned too many teams to take seriously anymore. Same way with James Harden. Lol
As a kings fan seeing how empty that stadium is its crazy. We are below .500 and still all showing up and rooting for our team. We may not be the best franchise but we are the best and most loyal fans. 💜💜💜
Fax every kings game seems like it’s pretty much pack and great energy from the fans even the kings might be below 500 they’re fun to watch for their vibes and culture and I’m a suns fan lol
@@LivinProoofas a Cavs fan I’ve always liked the kings as there’s been no real rivalry or anything like that and man, I was so happy for you guys in 2022. Upset to see what’s happening right now. Loved seeing the energy from the kings crowds and fanbase last few years
Pat Riley is too stubborn. He tries to fleece teams in trades and gets zero trades done as a result. He's a legend but he needs to get out of his own way.
@ajbased44 just think about it. This season is a loss for NOLA. They'll probably have a top 5 pick in the draft. Say they get dylan harper with the pick. Would jimmy really rather gamble in FA or resign on a team with harper, murray, zion, yves missi, and alvarado, hawkins, trey murphy, herb jones off the bench? At least on paper that's borderline top 6 in the west or at least a high seed play-in team
“I dedicated my life to basketball, and I dedicated my life to the Boston Celtics.” -Larry Bird You’ll never see players this committed anymore. They used to be thankful for the opportunity to play for an organization and dedicated their services to that team.
With Jimmy's contract and declining production, he's going to end up on some garbage ass team that wants to use his name to spark ticket sales. He's not going to a contender whatsoever.
chuck is spot on. pretty cut and dry situation that seems way more cloudy from the outside. pat riley and jimmy butler are two egos going head to head at this point, using headlines as ammo.
It wasn’t the injuries but his play. Klay regressed because of those injuries. Lonzo has been injured for the entirety of the last 2 years and if he comes back and plays to the level he’s been before then he’s not going to miss a beat when it comes to a contract. Klay regressed and was getting old. Jimmy is regressing and is getting old.
Butler is being paid handsomely to do his best plus has an option for one more year. This is one of several reasons people are turning the channel. NBA players whining about their team. if you want flexibility sign one year deals. The fact he is quitting on this team is so unprofessional.
Players are just looking for teams that let them be dawgs against the will of Adam silver. Also these super max contracts always end up hurting teams in the end. The ratings aren’t adding up to these salarys
Not a Butler fan but you can hardly call the man unprofessional. Two tours as a Thibs soldier and then Miami? He's given his body to his employers, given them everything. He wants an extension. Riley won't give him one. So he needs to get traded. Public trade demands make this easier, and please note it was Miami who made this trade request public, and it's Miami who has suspended him.
The way the conversation surrounding Butler and how the Heat supposedly screwed him has thrown so much disrespect on Bam and Herro’s names, it’s actually insane. Bam is quite possibly top 15 in the league and people are acting like he’s a scrub. Everyone’s acting like Butler is playing with a team of scrubs, like he isn’t playing with Tyler Herro, Bam Adebayo, a deep bench, and arguably the best coach working right now in Erik Spoelstra. Add to this a max contract and the fact the front office has basically let him make his own schedule without ANY repercussions… What does Jimmy Butler need for you guys to be satisfied? Maybe Riley can literally sacrifice the bench to Satan himself to get Jokic and SGA in a blockbuster trade with the underworld. I swear, some people are slow.
Jimmy played his ass off and carried that mediocre team to DEEP playoff runs multiple years out of sheer will power. The Heat org has made way more money from those playoff runs than they deserved, Jimmy should be getting some of that money

Honestly, the Heat have been operating on a bargain mentality ever since the LeBron era and Jimmy is the only one that kept them relevant.
Jimmy thinks he’s wade but he’s not that good
@@baldeagle4710he took the Heat to the finals twice and Pat Riley didn’t make a single move in FA trying to help him instead he refused to pay the good role players. Spo and Jimmy were why they did anything past 5 years
@@baldeagle4710100%! Jimmy is not a superstar. He is just a really good player. The Heat needs to blow this whole thing up. Get rid of Bam, Herro and all of those high contracts on pretty good players that are always injured.
@@baldeagle4710 did Jimmy have the same help Wade did? Not even close
@@elizabethgeorge168 give me a break. When has Jimmy ever played at an mvp level? He is so inconsistent doesn’t even show up half the time for regular season games, so because he doesn’t put in effort they always have a low playoff seed
I always respect Jimmy Bucket’s work ethics. I hope he win one.
Like his "work ethic" tonight? I lost my respect for the man. He's disrespecting the game half-assing it like it has the last two games.
He never will. Quits on every team. Makes a spectacle of himself. All about him.
@@JimmySaul888 Yep, it was like Harden in his Rockets and Nets last days all over again

He doesnt gaf about reg season tho. He blatantly has said so
lol between Pat Riley and the owner they don’t wanna make any real moves because the heat are not a contender. Jimmy been dragging that team for years.
@weswith360syou mean garbage bam?
@weswith360s so he’s not the reason they’ve made the finals and ECF several times in the last 5 years? So w/o Jimmy they make those deep runs?
Jimmy misses to many games and when they needed him in the post season last yr… he wasn’t available
I could be wrong, but when jimmy was gutta, grudgy player, he was the man. But soon as he started rocking the purses and perms, he turned a little bratty. Miami always been a up and down team. They had wade and LeBron and still lost games badly. Jimmy rather wear perms, purses and show his feminine side than be that hard noise player he use to be. NBA players are living a lottery life style every day. You can actually decide who you want to be, especially if you’re healthy, no drugs or sloppy women. No excuses when you’re blessed with the best of the best opportunities.
@@AintNoWayMedia101only made it twice which is nice but not what they was expecting. He misses games, has too many antics and do bullshit on the court
4:28 if kenny actually thinks that Jimmy gets all the shots think again, he's averaged the same amount of shot attempts in the regular season as Herro. his usage only goes up in the playoffs cos otherwise they would've never gotten to the finals, let alone twice. the whole point is that Jimmy's usage is actually scary low compared to other 'first options' in the league. Plus he never got any real help
Welcome to the Kenny show, he's not said one intelligent thing about basketball in over a decade
Yes, this is load management.
I love Chuck “Jimmy got to start packing his stuff up”.

@@tigerhoods7927 congrats
He was looking from both perspectives. Shaq was saying Jimmy could and should be closer but maybe not all the money in order to keep winning as a priority.

Bruh I swear it’s an interview out when an nba player from the 90’s said when they wanted to get traded they will play bad on purpose!This is what jimmy doing!
You could tell .. I stopped betting on him when I say a start line with only 6/ shots the whole game. Like Yikes
Jimmy is 35 tho, options are limited.
If Chuck says “he let D. Wade go” one more time lol
😂😂😂😂
Is he lying? BECAUSE it worth repeating.
YES he is lying based on context. Was D WADE let go ? YES !! Was D.WADE top notch and on fire to win the team another championship or was he just plodding away sucking up the air and taking away a roster spot for a hungry lion >?

@hauntedrapperwarriors?? Lol

Shams?
If you’re not gonna pay the man, let him go play somewhere else!!!
Under contract
Wade and LeBron still played through their contracts before going somewhere else as "FREE AGENTS" Butler still under contract 1+1, so disappointed with him.
Any player that publicly says they want out of playing for a team under the contract they both signed. Should allow the new team to dismiss the current contract and write another one. Now in this case your Boi gets a extension and paid.. But it's less than Half of what he thinks he's going to get. So then he's gonna force his way out from a team he aint even signed with yet. hahaha. Ya like loser premadonnas way way to much.
shaq still throwin shade at simmons 🤣 cracks me up
So many teams have added help and addressed needs and Jimmy Butler gave Miami a lot. Free that man
As a Heat fan, Butler put effort in his first year by taking us to the Finals & playing his heart out.
Second year was disappointing, third year was great, despite the game 7 loss, & the first round vs the Bucks the following year was fantastic. After that series, however, the Monstars suddenly took his talents lol he wasn’t even the third best player on the team.
He’s played less than 60 games a season a few times since he arrived & has underwhelmed half the time. I think it’s time for a change of scenery.
All I know is the Jimmy Buckets deserves more respect
-- He's 35yo. He avg'd 21ppg in Miami and is on the decline. There's no lack of respect esp if he wants $60M/yr.
What has he done ????
What for?
He's a washed up veteran. He used to be great. He's just a run of the mill player now.
He has no rings and hasn't played a full season since his rookie year. Also stirred drama on every last team he's been on. It's his way or sabotage.
No, he's overrated
This officially solidifies Sham
JIMMY ON OKC. SPURS ON THE KNICKS. PERIOD❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤25
They acting like pat didn’t publicly disrespect Jimmy on that mic last season.
That one I didn't like, but otherwise it's a hard decision to pay him $180 M in 3 years. I guess they were hoping to get Damian but couldn't afford Damian. Some players sacrifice pay to get a championship but others would rather choose money. Can someone tell me who sacrificed pay for a championship? Serious question.
@@denniszenanywhere It’s not a hard decision. With today’s medicine and recovery players are extending their primes. Jimmy can still perform at a high level at 38 with his body maintenance and play style. He’s never really been an above the rim player so regressing athleticism isn’t really a concern. He gets his in the midrange and around the basket. You can’t find another player with his mix of qualities that isn’t already a max player. The advanced stats show he’s been a top 5 player over the last 4-5 years. And he’s proven he can get you to the highest of heights
I don't know if you watch the video shaq said he cut some of his payments to get some players during his time in Miami rewatch it again bro@@denniszenanywhere
@@giancarlocorrell5893 nah, butler is not a max player anymore.
he wont played at the same level at 37/38.
@@giancarlocorrell5893being able to do it and actually doing it are two entirely different things. There are way too many nights where you check a heat boxscore or watch the game and jimmy’s in street clothes on the bench. If thats who he was when he was younger then what’s gonna change when he’s older?
Pat Riley (in my mind) represents that old mafia archetype. I think he let Wade go because Wade's best friend put the org in an awkward spot and ruined everything. Only player he kept was Bosh who ended retiring from a heart murmer.
He needs to move his old ass around behaving like fake movie characters. He messed up the heats chance of getting a ring by not getting Jimmy help these last 4 years.
@chuckk2fuego76 NOT TRUE! They lost Gabe Vincent and Caleb Martin to FA , they payed Tyler all that money, Duncan Robinson regressed, I wouldn't have signed Kyle Lowrie (lol) they've made moves and drafted and developed players . They signed K Love. They're too competitive to tank and not good enough to win it all. Stuck in mediocrity
Pat Riley a week later: nuh uh
RIP your integrity Butler
Beal 😂 for Jimmy a win win situation 🎉
Why would we want Beal? U keep him, Miami should look for drafts and target free agents in the summer
Hell no, we trade him for a young player and some first round picks, we have a young team we can build around and start from the ground up.
Nah it’s kd for jimmy and a few pieces
@@Dimez757problem is he already said he's opting out and going to free agency. That's going to limit what yall can get back for him.
Miami fans don’t want Beal foh
Chuck making the most sense 😂😂
And that's crazy 😯!
I know what he means by not wanting to be in the corner in Miami, but he's not gonna be first option in any of the teams his agent listed as his preferred choice. Maybe Warriors with Steph and Dennis would be ideal, he'd be a good older leader at Houston, Phoenix are a bit dysfunctional and too top heavy. Lastly the Mavs are already really good, but he'd be third maybe even fourth to PJ unless he locks in on defence.
He'd be 3rd in the Mavs just behind Kyrie and Luka. Pat might ask too mich though to the point the trade will fall off.
Hope he comes to GSW
@@reckon7457 It wouldn't make any sense at the Mavs in terms of spacing and overall fit imo. He's gotta accept a spot up shooting and D role cause Mavs have 2 of the best ball handlers in the sport. Butler isn't a POA defender so it would be like adding a better version PJ Washington while reducing their own depth. Sort of pointless imo
@@aryamanmani4025 It would work if Mavs doesn't have Klay or if they trade him for Butler which i doubt will happen because they probably promised Klay they would have him in the roster to try for a championship run.
Luka, Kyrie, Jimmy, PJ and Gaff/Lively can go toe to toe with any team. Jimmy would give the Mavs more grit and experience than they already have.
@@reckon7457 Theres like zero 3p shooting in that team, they would be much less balanced then what they are now.
Jimmy Butler a Miami legend, got them to two finals. He should join the Lakers or the Warriors now. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Just for the Lakers and Warriors to be first round exits.
Pat Riley slept through 3 free agency's and told Spo to figure it out
The Heat tried to get greedy and overplayed their hand waiting out the Dame Lillard situation because they had leverage knowing Dame wanted to be there.. Instead of just trading the package the Blazers wanted. Instead Dame went to Milwaukee and the rest is history. We will never know how Butler and Dame would have played together.
It all went downhill after herro was thrown like a sack of potatoes 😢
they say Herro is afraid to come outside these days

You’re a 36 year old veteran team leader walking around with green hair and always injured. He probably piss Pat off every time he sees him in the practice facility

@ lol yea man, he coming into the office making demands and what not
Yeah, he always wants to attract attention for his appearance rather than for playing basketball
@@hoangphung86 and drinking special coffees
He's a clown
Jimmy has always been a number 2 option, he had number 1 moments but he's a 2 that has overachieved.
You shouldn’t talk basketball
He's done more than 90% percent of the "number 1's" alot of these number 1's can't even make a ecf or wcf.
You're absolutely right. A lot of people don't know the difference between a True 1 and a 2. He might have been a 1B in his prime, but now? Definitely a 2, if not a 3. I think he could really help in Denver but they can't afford him.
Jimmy has always been a defensive first player who handles pressure extremely well. He has never been a consistent go to scorer, just a go to facilitator. Ideally he needs someone to carry the load the first 3 quarters offensively for him so he can show up in the 4th and take over
This is absolute facts, he’s not a 1a. 1a guys are players like LeBron, steph, kd, Giannis, etc. that’s never been Jimmy and it’s showed these past few years
Love seeing Tyrese going off. He is the most likeable player in the NBA.
Jimmy gives it his all where ever he goes
I aways supported Jimmy, but I don't respect this diva minded team hopping era. He's abandoned too many teams to take seriously anymore. Same way with James Harden. Lol
It's about money.
Send him to Chicago
I thought he wants to win
Having Aaron Finch at 4ra events spells quality and trust his presence is a big win
Just go to the Mav’s Jimmy. It’s the happiest team in the NBA lol
We're good, he can go to the Clippers, they love aging half washed vet players who think very highly of themselves

“I dedicated my life to basketball, and I dedicated my life to the Boston Celtics.” -Larry Bird
You’ll never see players this committed anymore. They used to be thankful for the opportunity to play for an organization and dedicated their services to that team.
As much as I hate to say it, Larry Bird is a deadbeat. There's more to this life than hoop and Jimmy Butler is clear about where he stands on that.
@ I’m talking specifically about basketball. There’s no more decency.
He told YOU that. His contract said something entirely different, and that's the thing that counts. He liked working in Boston.
With Jimmy's contract and declining production, he's going to end up on some garbage ass team that wants to use his name to spark ticket sales. He's not going to a contender whatsoever.
if paul george got the contract he got, jimmy can get something similar.
I agree that it’s a contract issue
Jimmy Butler put on a heroic effort in the 2020 playoffs that cements him as a hall of famer

Jimmy Butler hasn't tried consistently in the regular season for 3 years
When Finch shows up at 4rabet events you know it's gonna be a quality time super exciting
chuck is spot on. pretty cut and dry situation that seems way more cloudy from the outside. pat riley and jimmy butler are two egos going head to head at this point, using headlines as ammo.
Charles Barkley is never right. It's not the same as Klay Thompson at all. Thompson was coming off of TWO major injuries.
It wasn’t the injuries but his play. Klay regressed because of those injuries. Lonzo has been injured for the entirety of the last 2 years and if he comes back and plays to the level he’s been before then he’s not going to miss a beat when it comes to a contract. Klay regressed and was getting old. Jimmy is regressing and is getting old.
@joeasuncion2891 daaaaa.... thus it was the two injuries.
Butler is being paid handsomely to do his best plus has an option for one more year. This is one of several reasons people are turning the channel. NBA players whining about their team. if you want flexibility sign one year deals. The fact he is quitting on this team is so unprofessional.
Players are just looking for teams that let them be dawgs against the will of Adam silver.
Also these super max contracts always end up hurting teams in the end. The ratings aren’t adding up to these salarys
Not a Butler fan but you can hardly call the man unprofessional. Two tours as a Thibs soldier and then Miami? He's given his body to his employers, given them everything. He wants an extension. Riley won't give him one. So he needs to get traded. Public trade demands make this easier, and please note it was Miami who made this trade request public, and it's Miami who has suspended him.
He needs to team up with LeGoat!!!
That would be nice
No…..
Goat?? I thought MJ retired..
$55M for a 35yr old not getting big numbers
The way the conversation surrounding Butler and how the Heat supposedly screwed him has thrown so much disrespect on Bam and Herro’s names, it’s actually insane.
Bam is quite possibly top 15 in the league and people are acting like he’s a scrub. Everyone’s acting like Butler is playing with a team of scrubs, like he isn’t playing with Tyler Herro, Bam Adebayo, a deep bench, and arguably the best coach working right now in Erik Spoelstra. Add to this a max contract and the fact the front office has basically let him make his own schedule without ANY repercussions…
What does Jimmy Butler need for you guys to be satisfied? Maybe Riley can literally sacrifice the bench to Satan himself to get Jokic and SGA in a blockbuster trade with the underworld. I swear, some people are slow.
Jimmy played his ass off and carried that mediocre team to DEEP playoff runs multiple years out of sheer will power. The Heat org has made way more money from those playoff runs than they deserved, Jimmy should be getting some of that money
