Is Jimmy Butler limiting Miami Heat partners? (Guest: Rohan Nadkarni) | Five on the Floor
More Jimmy Butler reports: this time it’s that he doesn’t want to go to Memphis and MIlwaukee and, after saying “anywhere but Miami,” may be limiting the trade market. Is this accurate? Is he just trying to get to Phoenix? Rohan Nadkarni (of NBCNews.com and someone who wrote an exclusive story on Butler last summer in Miami, joins Ethan Skolnick and Alex Toledo to provide a different perspective.

Thank you, Ethan. We should have traded his sorry a** in the offseason. How much is Jimmy paying this Rohan character on the side. The dude is a total shill. Alex isn't much better. Jimmy is a malignant narcissist. This is one of the many reasons I never wanted that bum here. He wants his money. It has nothing to do with his teammates. He's never been a good teammate. He manipulates everyone around him so he can seem more magnanimous than he is. Typical narcissist behavior.
This front office is behind the eight ball! We won’t win as long as this front office is here! This is a new league
Boston has a way better front office
He turned his ankle and said I better get out before I get hurt … seems like he was always going to opt out this summer
It’s time for UD to start talking. No more protection for Jimmy around the city
Jimmy named his daughter after Riley , something had to have happened
I think Jimmy is being immature but comparing Pat's comments on Tyler to Jimmy's is extremely dishonest. Pat RESPONDED to a reporter's question on Tyler's availability with "MAYBE Tyler is a little fragile." Meanwhile, clearly premeditated and with a lot of anger, he told Jimmy to keep his mouth shut. It's not even close to the same treatment.
No wonder he has all the access bro is shilling hard.
All this tells me is that Jimmy doesn’t care about winning a chip anymore and only wants his last contract before he retires
Rohan compared Jimmy to Lebron, Curry and Durant. 3 Finals MVPs. & he’s all in on Tua?? That dude is delusional
Geez , Ethan you getting a pay check from the Heat FO , of all the podcasters, you are truly carrying for the Heat
Rohan appears to have an agenda. Protecting Jimmy Butler’s reputation. I’ve only seen him a few times after never seeing him before and his thing seems to be “what Jimmy thinks” but who knows. Is he Jimmy’s Brian Windhorst?? 😜
So we are going to pretend that the leaks from Jimmy camp to Sham didn’t come weeks before the trade demands. 🙄
Jimmy is really busting the Miami heat balls. After he gets what he wants. I don't want hear about no fucking Jimmy retirement in Miami.
Obviously something clearly happened!!!!Have you ever thought after that Detroit game something happened like the heat got offers and Jimmy didn't know they were shopping him, Tyus Jones plays for the Suns ,Jimmy is close to him , probably wanted him over Rosier a true point guard
Celtics traded KG and Pierce. Timberwolves traded KAT out of nowhere. Pat wants to be hard but also is sentimental, torn down the middle just like the franchise.
Only jimmy and pat kno what happened to this relationship, I hope jimmy stays
Rohan on here spitting Big facts, but some of yall have fallen to the Heat propaganda machine
I just wish Jimmy would have wanted to retire at 37 & he could have rode out into the Sunset with plenty of $ & being a Heat legend
Rohan absolutely started PREACHING at the 16 minute mark
hey Rohan – Jimmy changed when his agent was told the suns would pay him….ok great Jimmy said lets burn this place down and get our butt out of south Florida…. Rohan you are to close to jimmy …..jimmy is a spoiled brat!!!
He didn't have a problem with Hero , if anything it's Rosier , they were winning when Terry wasn't starting, did not Terry start one or both of the Pelican game and Indiana, l watched them both and Terry looked Jimmy off multiple times in those games
This guy makes a whole lot of sense. Something definitely happened that brought Jimmy to this point. But Bam is not really affected by the offense he is just bricking everything
The misappropriation of assets started when they drafted shabazz Napier and joker went in the second round….and how tf do you trade assets to draft kz okpala???
Fake ass Heat fans can leave with Jimmy. Disloyal kids don't know history and blame Pat? This team was a joke before Pat. Jimmy should have had his tantrum in the summer or act like a man and work for his money.
Obviously Jimmy is LYING to you. Who do you think you are Rohan (to jimmy) respectfully. Why would he tell you something that will obviously affects his leverage 😂
Never seen Ethan this quiet
Rohan cooked. Ethan it’s gettin sad the amount of water your holding. Even Alex saw the light
Pat lowkey the NBA Jerry jones.
If we had a better team then it would be fine if he dogged it but we need him. Those load management teams don’t win
Rohan is a Jimmy apologist. He is trying to convince us that what we see (Jimmy half assing it the last 2 years, not show up for 1/3 of the season, being a bad team mate etc.) we are not seeing. Jimmy loves it in Miami because every millionaire in his 30's that play a game for work loves Miami. Rohan needs to go cover another team.
Funny how Spo keeps getting a pass. His commitment to small ball has set the Heat off the rails, the players don't like it, the fans don't like it and it has kept us at 500 to 10 years and has made The Heat reliant on Covid and Luck (opponents getting hurt), for any playoff success.
Calling the Heat front office incompetent isn't a bridge to far. Not being able to sign veterans for years because you over pay players and gotten rid of all your draft capital because of the pressure to get off of those overpaid player's contracts is the definition of incompetence. The problem with the Heat top to bottom is no accountability.
Rohan has great points.
Rohan, that is why viewership is down, because of players load management. Viewers half-guessing if their favorite players will play makes it less appealing to watch the games. 😑
Ethan is grasping at straws for the spo criticism it’s just typical blame game to make a point he had 39 two games before this
