  1. Jimmy leaves every team he joins. Chicago, Minn., Phili and now Miami. If you trade for him he would destroy your team and leave.

  2. Another guys carrying water for jimmy …wow the heat has to change? Really Jimmy doesn’t play 30 games per year…the guy is a spoil brat….jimmy has run out his welcome everywhere he’s been …who’s the real problem??? Jimmy is a cancer !!

  3. Butler,, just burned any and all bridges within the heat…Lebron did not leave when he demanded Riley fire coach Eric.. Riley told Lebron to get his klutch boys and get out of Miami

  4. Get rid of the outro music!!! I hate it. Feels like an amateur unofficial channel with that nonsense 🤦🏽

  5. This is all about Jimmy wanting a extension and pat said no period done now trade him! He give Dwayne wade a extension and he won 3 championships there!

  6. Stephen A keeps bringing up Lebron. King james was gonna leave regardless. His plan was to always go get a ring in his hometown 😂

  7. clowns in the comments forget how Jimmy loved this team and played hard when he wasn't injured. Pat disrespected Jimmy with the comments last year is where this started. Jimmy isn't a problem he knows his value plain and simple. whenever a team is done with you decides to trade you nobody gets mad at master. But let a player take it in his own hands smh

  8. Pat Riley might be the problem he better get with the times ain’t nobody going for what he stand for which is why he get all them undrafted players or role players because they not gone say anything

  9. If Jimmy Butler wants out then can’t he decline his $52 million dollar option for next season and become an unrestricted free agent this offseason?

    What am I missing here 😂

    Oh I get it…Jimmy knows there are few if any teams willing to offer him a multi year contract worth well over $100 million

    That’s why he’ll opt in and huff and puff all next year about how he doesn’t want to be in Miami and wants to be traded 😂

    Jimmy is a clown 🤡

  10. Stop it, it's not that superstars don't want to go or stay in Miami. Lebron left because he either wanted to bring a championship to his hometown or because the superstars in Miami were at a decline and he wanted to remain relevant. Anything other than that is speculation.

    Dame Lillard didn't end up in Miami because of the disgruntled Joe Cronin that obviously doesn't know what he's doing. He could have had Herro and company, instead ends up with injury prone players or players that don't hussle.

    Durant just made a choice to go to a team that hasn't been to the finals in the last couple of years. So he can seal his legacy and people won't say Durant has never won on a team that just went to the Finals. Durant will still be regarded as one of the best regardless in my opinion.

    Butler is just Butler. This is something that he has been dealing with his entire career. He has to have it his way or the highway. He is either injured or "injured" and the first round exit was Riley's last straw.

    Riley and the Heat organization know what they are doing. They don't want to pay premium for a an old product that hasn't been working properly. Jimmy was great for Miami, but his time has passed as far as being number 1 in a championship team.

  11. "It's not a good look" for Jimmy Butler, not the franchise! Jimmy is the diva who wants contract extension he does not deserve. As Chuck said, it is all about the price. Do not even try to tell me that Jimmy played like $56M/y player this season. Same goes for the previous season…

  12. We love Jimmy here in Miami and we acknowledge that he is one of the best, maybe the best playoff players in the nba. Putting that aside, Jimmy misses most of the regular season. He coasts, barely plays and is extremely injury prone. He doesn’t take the regular season seriously and the heat keep having to fight in the playin for a playoff spot. Jimmy is great but it’s unfair to ask for more money when he barely plays. Unfortunately he’s just getting older and in my opinion, he’s in denial of that. I thought he loved it here and that he was a team guy but ultimately he’s just being selfish.

  13. No way sing a new contract to jimmy because he is old and rude.he does that to every team he played. Heat taking right decision.
