The ball is in Pat's hand! I trust Riley, players Come & Go and Jimmy with all due respect is often injured….
I don’t wanna believe this
Pat Riley never got Butler another star ⭐ Butler's market is DeRozan's current contract. Pistons need a dawg. Draymond would clash.
Butler has not formally requested a trade, but possible
Butler or no Butler the Show Must Go On!!! That's life in the NBA
Keep him healthy and trade his ass…We're gonna get what we really need to make this team more well rounded… a young player, a vet to match salary, and 1 or 2 first rounders!!!
I love Miami to death. But if we can get something out of this then I’m for it
Give jimmy what he needs to win or let him go. He has done enough already… always a jimmy fan
If true, all good. Jimmy is beyond his prime, and at 50 million a year? No way. You really want to stay in Miami? Renegotiate, signed for 3 (25-30 a year), and retired in Miami. If not? Want to leave? Want the money? Then trade him or let him walk. The Heat need to focus on their young talent and begin thinking about the next chapter of Heat basketball. Period.
Pat is a clown. Their rivals got better and were praying for this day to come. Trading Jimmy won’t make Miami contenders.
Jimmy Butler is not going anywhere if it did not come from Jimmys mouth its not real all we heard from Jimmy is betting on himself I'm a Miami Heat fan this is just a distraction no one ever wants to give Miami a chance
It might have validity, imagine Shams were getting Heat fans aware
im having a great xmas no sleep over this… love him but its about that time
You can get booker and mpj from denver for terry Duncan to Denver and Jimmy to Phoenix
Jimmy deserves a ring and idc if heat fans get butt hurt hearing this, Pat & the FO FAIL HIM !!!! Jimmy carried this team of mostly G league players for the past five years. Only other player that could do what Jimmy did is lebron James 9 years ago.
Heat fan and JB fan here but I do agree that they need to part ways. Its not good for the Heat nor it is for JB's career to drag this out even further. JB should go somewhere and win his ring that he deserves, and the Heat should focus on building around Herro or even get somebody better.
No team that wants him is willing to trade the necessary pieces. Yawn….
Jimmy wants a 3yr max extension the heat most definitely will not be giving him its best if two part ways
Who are we going to rely on now after Jimmy gone freaking bam adebayo?heat give bam all this money and yet bam can't do shit when butler out we still have to heavily rely on butler alone this team needs to rebuild that's all am seeing it's over
If he goes to Phoenix i hope beal is healthy for the exchange
I think he sees how this season is going and knows Miami has no shot. Pat didn't give him any help and this team is mediocre at best.
It's about time!! WE want what you want, Jimmy.
