Miami Heat and Jimmy Butler Square Away Fines Tumultuous Season | Would Return Be Different w/ Time?
Tobin reacts to a report from Ira Winderman in the Sun-Sentinel that the Miami Heat and Jimmy Butler squared away $6 million worth of fines down to half that amount. Tobin wonders after Brad Marchand’s emotional return to Boston, with a season apart from his shocking trade to the Panthers, would a Jimmy Butler return game to Miami have been better with a summer gap? Plus with the Miami Heat in flux and Butler looking really strong in his first Warriors game this season, were the Miami Heat right to have been scared to pay him and what do they plan on doing with that money since they didn’t extend Tyler Herro?

Pat new jimmy would overcharge when he started asking for $25 for a cup of coffee. Good luck when he takes 25 games off this season
The Heat picking mid Bam over amazing Jimmy makes anything Jimmy did not his fault. He did everything & the Heat turned around & paid the guy he carried. They’re lucky he didn’t burn the whole thing down
Heat front office BLEW it on many fronts during the Jimmy era. Always overvalued Tyler Herro when the market was telling you he wasn't that. Instead of getting solid role players for Herro when your title window was open, you're not even extending Herro anyway, possibly trading him before paying him. All for what? Trying to get a superstar on YOUR terms for a bag of chips and a paperclip? Now you got Bam on a max contract on a team going NOWHERE. Please trade that man to a contender he's useless in this life cycle of the Miami Heat. Please get a haul for Bam because you didn't with Jimmy. Especially, when you already made up your mind not paying Jimmy and thought it was gonna go swimmingly because you like to smell your own Heat Culture farts. Not paying Jimmy an extra year and we get milktoast basketball. Spo still trying to win games with small ball instead of playing your young bigs lol.
Exactly… what were they gonna do with that money? It was never about money, it’s always about pat’s ego, happened with dwade too
The radio show is just too boring, too slow, not for me, prefer 10-20 min focused videos/pods.
Bro, you're selling yourself. Short ice cubes are a sign o' maturity. We come here for the emotional reaction bro. Come on now. I appreciate both videos
Jimmy was the best player in Miami for 5 years and the heat said “ bam, YOURE the captain, here’s 50 million a year !!” Both Pat Riley and spo are washed. Trying to play small ball in 2025 when u got an athletic 7 footer on the bench is diabolical. And he’s also WAYY more talented and tougher than your max contract player. Paid Niko but won’t even trust him to close a game. He plays Jaime for 30+ min at the 4 when he absolutely shit the bed for a whole year but ware still has to “earn it”. What a fkn joke man 🤦🏽♂️
I think I'll scale back my viewership Tobes. Front office not perfect. Squad not perfect but I'm going to support whoever is on the floor. I ride or die with the squad (more die these days lol) but sometimes you fans in the comments section are too toxic. Can't appreciate the ups if you don't have downs. There are 81 more games left to go. I think for my sanity I'll only visit on wins. Tobes… easy on the liquor… your kids need you.
If Mimai settle means they were guilty for wrongly suspending Jimmy out of spite. 😂😂😂😂😂
Anybody think they are show casing Jaime to trade him?
Emo-Jimmy Butler became a toxic force on this team as he sabotaged our season last year. I was happy the moment we sent him packing to Golden State. Some of you ingrate Heat "fans" forget that Pat Riley came here and created a culture, winning teams and championships. Anyone who is has their dander up over Jimmy Butler not being here can go follow his emo-ass and be a fan of that aging and team in San Francisco . 😤
If they would of paid jimmy, it still would not have been enough to get over the hump. They were probably hoping he would take less and they would have more flexibility to sign better role players. Its a better plan then just paying jimmy and accepting we are not going to contend.
There is one player that i miss and fits so well in the actual miami , max strus .
I do not want #22 in the rafters
Jimmy was the best player we had since DWade left us for retirement.
Man if you want woulda got Norman three seasons ago. We would have two more championships 😢
NBA pay scale is a joke ..
NBA draft is a joke ..
After Pat Riley pulled the coup de gras….
Nobody will ever get one on the NBA again…
Look at the landscape..
Look at the contracts..
Look at the cap..
And look what's going on right now with Terry rozier..
The games are fixed especially now with this legalized gambling…
The NFL's a joke NBA's a joke & Baseball..
It's all about money..
It's all about the owners..
It's all about gambling…
I've lost all hope for sports..
I am not surprised that Terry rozier got hemmed up
I'm not surprised that Chauncey billups got hemmed up.
But yet they want to sit there and talk about Jordan & Brady being the goats..lol .
The fix is in..
This is why I don't watch sports anymore.
It's an absolute joke.
It'd be nice if y'all just go out there and play…JUST PLAY
But no they have the Leagues,, Vegas , Mob….etc …
I can't watch sports anymore…
The fixes in it's always been in but now it's so evident and obvious…
