I ain't hearing this Jimmy Butler lead the Heat to 2 finals and played HARD. And the Heat failed to get the team help meanwhile Jimmy wants to get paid and has earned it and they saying no, who else they gonna pay? Who have they gotten that they paying?? Get outta here stop this bootlicking Jimmy has the right to be frustrated. There's wrong on his side, he should've been more private about this, he should be more available for the regular season, but this is nonsense he's a DAWG and he's getting too much hate.
Shoutout Mad dog man his energy always ecstatic
SAS should be ashamed of questioning a man's will to win. You don't become that proficient at anything if you don't put in the work. If he doesn't want to be traded to Miami because it's not the best choice for him, and he has earned the no-trade clause, he has the right to remain with his current team. It's just business. When players make business decisions, the media turns them into pariahs.
Keep that energy Stephen A. After talking mess about Kawhi.
Kawhi has 2 rings with rust eating away at his knees. I like Jimmy but he posts like a high school cheerleader.
Send Jimmy Butler to the Raptors then again this man is 35 years old how much longer does he have under his belt? 2-3 years
That is a very great point about Jimmy Butlers usage rate compared to his pay. From every perspective it just doesn't make logical sense for him to be paid like a star but have literally the lowest usage rate on the team. Its a waste of money for Miami and it make Jimmy look washed.
Why do the Suns want an old slow dude who doesnt love the game of basketball? He hasnt won anything, and only plays because it pays. He just going to "load manage" his whole extension and retire.
You have a no trade clause, don't waive it in the face of Stephen A's rhetoric.
Mad dog you sound like a b*tch🤡
What the hell is Steven a Talking about Jimmy wants to stand in the corner. He wants to pout like a baby. He does not want to be involved or else he would get involved. I have no I deal. What's Steven day is talking about. It does not make any sense
Always complaining when he didn’t do sh*t every team he’s played for. Waste money
People are tired of Jimmy Butler, but I'm tired of the Miami Heat too. The Heat & Pat Riley think they are the Lakers or Celtics. Your not on that tier. Stop expecting players to come there. Lebron was the exception……, and yall couldn't keep him.
Yeah I’ve been arguing with kids online about this all week. Did y’all see what Jimmy Butler did in the playoffs? End of discussion.
No Jimmy, No championship.. what they should do is have Jimmy, Bam, Tyler as their front 3 and run it back in the playoffs (That’s EASILY the best 3 players on any team in the league and it’s not even close)
This how you fix Jimmy Butler, suspend him the rest of the season
void his contract don't pay him no more money owners get together ban him from the league.
Man wants to win, Miami hasn’t had a winning culture since LeBron in 2013 that’s literally a dozen years ago jimmy butler has been miami only hope for a chip for a min. What y’all mean jimmy, want a ring by any means and I can’t blame him
Bradley was overpaid like a mf
Grown man name Windy your mama named u Brian I'm gonna call you Brian
Media kill me trying to trade players before the teams lol Stephen A Smith tryin to convince Beal to want to leave
Man, am I the only one that’s on Jimmy’s side?
Man took an under qualified team to the finals TWICE. Just to be totally outmatched.
The front office did nothing to help that man. The Heat organization got complacent and deserve this.
Highway robbery. Beal nor Butler are worth their contracts. Only a few players in the League should get $50 mil.
People have been waiting to hate on Jimmy and it shows 😂
It’s Miami who doesn’t want Beal
In Minnesota they weren't trying to win and was letting Kat and Wiggins get away with whatever and kat didn't like being called out and in Philly they chose to pay Tobias Harris instead of Jimmy and been hating it every since even Joel has said he wished he still played with Jimmy
The Miami Heat didn't go to 2 NBA Finals because Butler had no help. The teams leading scorer at the time (Goran Dragic) and Bam got hurt in the 2020 Finals and Tyler Herro was hurt for the entirety of the second Finals Run in 2023. Pat tried to get Dame to Miami but Portland's front office would not let that happen. Jimmy treats the regular season like it doesn't matter which is why these boys are always an 8th seed or a play-in team with the exception of the 2022 season when we were a 1 seed. Miami gets the best out of players like Jimmy who are not quite perennial All Star players and lately, when they leave Miami, they are not nearly the same player. Ask Gabe Vincent, Struss and Caleb Martin. Jimmy can go!
With all due respect that’s bs what Mad Dog talking. The heat consistently couldn’t bring in another championship caliber player since he arrived in Miami. They overachieved massively twice with Him Jimmy Butler leading this team.
Jimmy really is a diva. That dude brings problems wherever he goes. I agree with mad dog.
Now I know why Molly goes wherever Stephen A. Smith goes, just like Joy Taylor…👀
Maybe his usage rate is so low is because he's always injured and he's always taking plays off. Jimmy Butler's been on cruise control the last 2 years.
No one wants to play with Jimmy Butler although he's a great player he doesn't get along well with teammates
Sick of these primadonnas ruining sports.
Buy Jimmy a tutu and make him play- wearing it . The man is a disgrace
But the pieces Miami have proved if healthy they can make a deep playoff run if healthy no matter their seeding but how did they get there it was playing as a team playing selfless it wasn’t playing through anyone it was playing through the team yea okay they didn’t win it was nail bitters vs Celtics or bucks then went up against LeBron and Ad then a Jokic team when they had all their role players it’s just compete and the luck of being healthy the only blowouts they received or missing completely been when injured but when healthy either nail bitter or deep run
Get Beal to golden state suns don’t want him insane can’t do jimmy over Beal not now that’s dirty sending Beal to the bench 😂😂😂
Everytime I hear Maddog speak, I'm waiting for him to say, "The two yoots" 😂😂
"Every 5 seconds he wants to be traded"😂😂😂😂
Thank you Max Dogg for speaking out the truth! Still don’t know why people are talking about Butler so much when the dude is past his prime and is 0-2 in The Finals
I notice every time we talk about an NBA player they bring up how much he’s being paid but they never bring up how much the organization made Jimmy Butler made 50 million this year how much did the heat organization make?🧐
Mad Dog cooked on this
Bradley Beal ain’t do anything wrong except play mid. He said the suns didn’t even talk to him about it.
But butler refusing to play for the team when STILL getting paid $50m unless he gets another contract is wild.
More drama in the NBA than actual playing, no wonder the ratings dropping like rock.
SAS dont knwo anything. get off the couch and watch the games. Jimmy Butler is the only reason why his usage rate is the lowest on the team. Get him outta there. There is more important things in life than money. You sign a contract, you do what you gotta do.
SAS just wanna see Butler go to the Suns bcuz he wanna see KD try to win again 😂
im with mad dog the reason the miami heat is always in the play in is butler not playing hard in regular season and just injured playing hard in the play in
