Bring back Woj or someone who can speak pls
Pat Riley just want to be a star. Competing for the spotlight with his players. You're the boss fall back.
Jimmy “The Chaos” Butler
I dare you Spo, bench that cry baby till the season is over, lol
🤣 that mf strong… Man ✍️🦁 so jimmy Butler hole career ain't this mf wanted out of somewhere 😔
Pat still thinks we’re in the Kentucky vs Western Texas basketball days..
Ramona look like a sexy dinosaur😂😂😂😂😂😂
What IF… Horst talks to Jimmy and tells him come to Milwaukee for the season. You get to play with Dame who you wanted in Miami, and a chance at a title. Then after this season you have the flexibility to decide if you want to stay or go, but either way sign an extension, and if you sign a 1 yr extension we will trade you to Phoenix where you wanted to be, and we'll take back Bradley Beal
Brian sounds like jordan Peterson
After all that has went on haslem and spo yelling at Jimmy during a televised game pat Riley's comments during the exit interview it's easy to see why Jimmy wants out. The heat need to do right by Jimmy once and trade him since they don't appreciate him.
Heat need to be all in w/ the young core, let Jimmy walk & open up cap space. We have a nice young core w/ Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr, Nikola Jovic, Bam Adebayo & Ke'lel Ware… that's a nice starting lineup & would be a bigger line up than we've had in yeaaaaaarrrrrssss. Then you got Terry Rozier, Alec Burks, Duncan Robinson, Haywood Highsmith & Kevin Love off the bench. Legit 10-man rotation! I don't think we would go deep in the playoffs but that's a top 5-6 team in the East.
There no chaos in the locker room between jimmy and his teammates. The chaos is between jimmy and pat period. Dont make this what its not
Jimmy ain't all that I dont get paying a player for the past he is not the same always hurt I woulnt give him no extention sorry patt won't budge
😂 why they talking like Jimmy got some type of leverage.
SO, just drag the man thru the mudd without any comments from Butler ? This is a character assassination thru the media. True or not, where is Jimmy's viewpoint?
We need more people like Pat Rilley not crying baby like this clown
Riley seems like a guy who doesn’t tolerate “back talk” or questioning his authority! That’s…stupid and the old way of thinking. These are all men who have a say in where they want to work and be paid. Jimmy can’t tell Pat how to run his organization but he definitely can be the decision maker on if he wants to be a part of it. Rightly so.
Windy going through it over there
Windy sound like he was screamin at a Knocked Loose show lol
Its tough but then the Lavine and Bulls graphic showed up and like maybe thats the trade but for Jimmy its not better if he wants to win. heat also not wanting to send him to a contender if they're trying to get back to their playoff selves and build around Bam and Herro and help someone else.
The players Shouldn't be able to disrespect the Coaches because of how Much Money they Make……..like the NBA is Now put together like a fake piece of CAKE👍*
.
This guy so ungrateful. He worse than a kid.
These NBA players are the most spoiled players ever. Bunch of crybabies. Sheesh. 50 million still ain't happy.
I never thought Butler would be this unprofessional
Trade him to Toronto!
Miami tooo strict bro,
Jimmy butler is excellent.
If you think Jimmy in the right you dumb asf😂
Why windy sound like that lol
Old cranky plantation owner Pat. Time to retire.
Dont know how its possible,but join Bucks Jimmy and they turn into decent contenders again
Pat should just tell him – Go find us XYZ and you’re free to go.
Otherwise, I would start Jimmy, then take him out after 2 minutes and let him sit the rest of the way.
Fire Malika Andrews
Toxic butler. Joining a good team. That team will be infected by its toxicity. Reminder if you really love the game, you must help your team. His 35 and not that young anymore.
I miss Rachel
Where else will jimmy say it to ? He cant say it to pats feet or his arms . Show us a video of this “ saying it to his face “ otherwise stop making so much drama thats probably not true.
Trade Butler for Lavine straight up
Boomers need to retire
They also lost to Utah without Butler.
Where is the Players Union to intervene??? 7 games no pay based on how hes playing?
It’s difficult this.. if you play him and he doesn’t give maximum effort he devalues his trade. If he does do that, his team mates lose heart too. If you bench him, he rots. For me, get rid, he’s got to go. Take the loss on the chin, the organisation is always bigger than any player. You have to demonstrate that.
Their chances of Winning a chip is not it. Call 🤙 on Lebron again to save Miami.
