  1. Just remember this is the 4th Star player in which Riley/Heat ended on bad terms with that made the player want to leave: Shaq, Lebron, Wade and now Jimmy.

  2. I understand a 1-2 game suspension, why 7? They want him to feel to feel it financially 2.35 Million 😮, Pat Riley is bitter.
    The player association will appeal and reduce it, I would think.

  3. people are blaming the Heat and Pat Riley. when have y'all ever seen Jimmy Butler locked in while he has been on the Heat? he wanted to go to Miami to chill and focus on his "brand" in the first place. he didn't care if the Heat won a championship or not. dude cares more about coffee and commercials rather than basketball. This is on Jimmy, he's throwing a temper tantrum like a toddler just because the Heat don't want to give him more money. so he's getting a 7 game timeout. Jimmy does NOT deserve another payday, there is no evidence to support a reason to give him one. Pat Riley made the right call and now he needs to get a somewhat decent trade going. it'll be the same situation again but with Tyler Herro in the next few years, just wait on it

  4. Not suprised… he can finally play and is not injured and wants a trade! This typical in the NBA

  5. Kinda sick of people defending jimmy if he wanted all those stars begging for multiple super max contracts wasn’t the move.

    It’s also funny that people bring up we got him no help when we tried to trade for dame, Donovan, KD, and Kyrie to name a few and due to jimmy’s contract we couldn’t do it without nuking the roster, which if you watch the suns you know this stuff doesn’t work they went all in on a crazy talented big 3 and they are one of the worst teams in the west so I’m glad we didn’t do that and it’s time for jimmy to leave if he’s gonna keep us in the spot we are in and crash out over things that are mostly his fault tbh

  6. Throwing this out there since nobody is talking about it. Grant and RobWill for butler. Heat get the same position butler played, plus a backup center. Butler gets to bring the grit to the blazers and show scoot how to ball. Simons, Sharpe, Avdija, Butler and Ayton

  7. Don't take away from the Cavs being the number one seed in the East and OKC being the number one seed in the West.

  8. I understand where Jimmy is coming from Pat Riley hasn’t done much to try to get the stars who wanted to be in Miami (Especially Damien Lillard) but going through the media in this way was not the way to handle it. Especially with the money he’s making.

  9. for what butler did for the heat (carried a team who has no business being in the NBA finals and jimmy did it TWICE), he deserves what he wants from the organization

  10. He was there for 5 seasons and got them to 2 NBA Finals appearances the last time they were their Wade, Bosh and Bron back in 2012 that’s 10yrs ago. Plus an Eastern Conference. They didn’t add nothing new to help especially losing to Denver in the Finals they were suppose to hurry up and grab someone, but look at Boston soon as they lost to the Heat they brought in two key players and won the championship. I feel Butler y’all not about to waste my later years in this not going no where team, I’m out I want a championship, cuz he already got the bag…..take yo azz to Phoenix with K.D and Booker, or go to Golden State and ball out with Curry. Golden State already got hella role players they just need another scorer!!!

  11. If he's been behaving in a manner detrimental to the team for weeks, why did it take Jimmy honestly answering a question he was asked in a press conference for him to be suspended? Post game availability after a home game is, after all, mandatory. It's not like he can control the questions he gets asked.

  12. I like Jimmy a lot. But in the last few years, Jimmy has been inconsistent in all aspects of the game: Inconsistent in availability, production, and mood. People are sort of disillusioned with all the old guys still playing well, not realizing that is the exception for them. He is 35, and not as good as he once was. And thats ok. Miami needs consistant production from its star players. Cant be avg 25 a game, and losing games by 2-3 points constantly because you only scored 15 while taking the most shots on the team. And he has never left a team on good terms he has worn out his welcome everywhere he has been he may wind up waived on the next team if he isnt careful. It can happen.

  13. I live in Florida, the Miami Heat organization and their wife Jimmy Butler tied the knot and got married back in 2019 and now they're in the middle of a bitter divorce because Jimmy wants his happiness back, just like his last 2 short lived marriages, to the Timberwolves and 76'ers, he's just being petty and spiteful about the inconsistency of not being provided rose petal baths everynight before bed, sad it has to end this way.😐

  14. People love to hate on Jimmy. That man carried that team filled with G League players to the Finals twice but Pat Riley and the Heat have failed to surrond him with great players. Also maybe dont tell your star player to keep his "mouth shut" to the press.

  15. Jimmy just went up against the best of the best .. LbJ, AD, Jokic, Giannis, Embiid, Taytum/Brown. No shame in that.

  16. If Jimmys looking for max he can probably say 👋 to winning a championship smh. This is what its all about. Hes not available enough firna max. Lol
