  1. Since I’m a little smarter than all of you. He said we are not trading Jimmy but he never said he is not trading Herro.

  2. We will look back on all of this someday and note that the Miami Heat provided the only opportunity Jimmy had to become a Hall of Famer

  3. Pat Riley: "You come into my office on the day my daughter is to be married and you ask me to trade my franchise player, for Beal. But you don't ask with respect, you don't offer friendship, you don't even think to call me Godfather"

  4. Where there's smoke theres fire. These Heat writers can get mad at Shams all they want, but until Jimmy himself shoots all this stuff down, its goin to continue to be a discussion. So get ready lol

  5. Miami needs to change top to bottom. Riley, Spo and Butler. Be bad for a couple of years and let our young guys get better and make the push in 2 years while bam and herro are still young.

  6. Ethan, you nailed it when you said the Heat are a mediocre basketball team. They peaked in the past when they reached the finals. That type of success does not seem it will happen again with this team built as is. A major change is needed.

  7. Jimmy wanted to be treated just like Arabia when trade rumors come up the heat say he's not available for trade they did not do that immediately he is a proud person and done a lot for this team

  8. The heat knew when Jimmy came and played for them he had played around 60 some games in a season , since he was a bull , and last year with what he experienced with his dad was something unexpected, l think they have gotten offers and why they came out now , maybe a trade no one is expecting , if they don't want to win , just develop players , if he wants to go to a contending team if possible don't they owe it to him

  9. Bam has averaged damn near 20pts and 10 rebs for the last 3 years. What happened to that man🤔

  10. Yeah i am so happy.Pat Riley like pop ,he wants his dynasty.Hope jimmy retire s in Miami.Jimmy butler my hero.Miami princess ❤🔥🏀👸👸💋❤️🏆🏆🏆🍊💯🌴💪🏿

  11. Glad to see Pat put this out there. Cant stand when these team/player issues get litigated thru the media.
    If Jimmy wants out, he can talk to the team, and hopefully they will send him where he wants.

  12. I’m ok with Butler playing out this season with Heat but it would be a bad idea to bring Butler back next year (once he opts out), and sign him to an extension anywhere near MAX $. I really appreciate everything he’s done here, but this Miami Heat build has peaked (they over delivered for sure).

  13. The biggest issue with this team since 2020 hands down is the over valuation by this front office of Tyler Herro that will go down as the single handily worse decision of the Post bubble era fair or unfairly .

  14. What is this fantasy you’re living in where Jimmy opts out of $50 million at the end of the year?

    They have to trade him. I love Jimmy, but they have to trade him.
