Said Anthony Edwards was regressing and Ant did nothing but set the franchise record for most points in a 3 game span.
Yeah, trade P George and a pick- just not this coming years first rounder if possible. If Jimmy only stays one year with Philly than you make a run with him and look to retool your team with that additional money next season that comes off the books.
He saw Paul George get 200mil and just doing podcast..so he wants that be like contract and just selling coffee 😂😂
Tbh Jimmy has done a lot for the Heat
So this is the time for him to stand up
I mean if Paul George can get 200 million Jimmy should be getting twice as much 😂😂
It’s funny on these discussions Chuck almost always hits it right on the nose and everybody else just be saying stuff especially Shaq
Imagine getting paid almost 1 million dollar PER WEEK and complaining about your situation, when you have a chance to opt in to another 50 million next year. Jimmy getting paid more than 2x the average health insurance CEO. Been a fan for a decade, bu green hair guy looking like silly diva right now.
NBA having a salary cap and teams giving 200M to 35 y/o PG , 55M to 35 y/o Jimmy, 190M to a Kawhi with no legs.
That merch money must be crazy. I just feel like that money can be better used.
They need to start making these high dollar contracts 100% payable to the athletes as well as making the athletes not be able to break them either. I don't think that Butler quit he was suspended for comments detrimental to the team. Basically, he pissed off Pat Riley. Jimmy should have just straight out told the heat that if you don't extend my contract, trade me instead of I've lost joy for the game crap.
Jimmy actually needs to take a pay cut and help his team win
50 million per year and you don't have joy. I can't even imagine making 50 million per year. I am making like 50 thousand per year and it's a struggle every day.
He has quit. Watch the games Shaq and stop sleeping in the back of the studio. The man stood in the corner in one game, virtually for the whole game shooting one foot jumpers from 3 point land. He is clearly dogging it.
Shaq never watched Jimmy’s two recent games with Miami 🤦
Charles acting dumb
Kenny the realest
He has problems wherever he goes,maybe he is the problem.
Sorry Jimmy Butler. You are still getting paid. You are still under contract. Get your bummy ass out there and be a good teammate. See this is the stuff that makes people mad at professional athletes. Regular people do jobs that they hate and receive far less money but we do it. Why? Because we have to. Because we're being paid. We are receiving benefits due to accepting the position. I don't want to hear anything about this guy. Don't want to play because he doesn't have joy. Screw you. Jimmy Butler.
Yeah i think he quit on his team
And its just about money for him right now
He should have finished his contract or waited until summer
And he cant accept the fact that the Heats new system isnt for him
Pat Riley will not pay him.Period. he is past his prime😅
Thanks JB for the memories
And i hope the Heat will get a good return for him
This whole saga is emblematic of what’s wrong with the NBA. If you’re making $55M a year you better be able to find joy in your career. And if you can’t, suck it up and deal with it. You’re making $55 effing Million a year!
Why is it that, in America, People are Upset and Critical of Black Men, who are Making Millions of Dollars and Not Happy about Their Working Situation? Do You Ever hear Americans Upset and Critical of White CEOs, that are Making Millions of Dollars and are Unhappy about Their Working Situation?
Shaq is such a terrible analyst lol. I swear he doesn't even pay attention to the NBA.
It’s not all about money for Miami. It’s about availability. And Jimmy hasn’t been available enough to deserve the money he wants. Simple as that. And it’s his own fault too for missing too many games for bs reasons
They didn’t pay their best player he wants out
Jimmys coffee business must not be doing so hot
THIS IS NOT THE PODCAST hahahahaha I love you guys so much. TNT crew has brought happy tears to my eyes for years
People finally seeing Jimmy for what he’s always been
