I respect Pat Riley but he needs to be fired no nba player wants to deal with his bull, no bodies going there in free agency and even if he drafts or trade someone to miami there going to leave look how he treats his superstars, Dwyane Wade took a pay cut for LeBron James to go to Miami and then pat refused to pay him after 3 championships and build with them for over ten years thats fucked

Butler is the X factor in all the drama with every team hes ever been sent packing from. Dude IS the problem. Nobody else.

As said in the beginning they allowed him to do this numerous times now it’s a problem!!!!!! If petty was a team you would find the Miami Heat Organization

The team will deny access if ESPN provides you with the player’s perspective. ESPN will only ever give you the business side of the story.

Jimmy is 36 if I’m a billionaire owner I wouldn’t play him the rest of the year and if he opts in next year I wouldn’t play him again. I’d take his time from him

If James Harden can pull it off, im very sure Jimmy Butler will as well. The Miami Heat just needs to trade him to the Phoenix Suns.

Naw Stephen a protecting pat riley the question needs to be asked why tf do players don’t want to play in Miami it’s cause it’s Riley
@ErikCorrea-d5h

Jimmy is an idiot… Doesn’t care to win, only wants the $… And LeBron is the worst superstar in NBA history. Has only won with so called “help”… And since Miami can’t carry a franchise like a true professional. Miami was Wade’s team. The Lakers are bad because they fail to demote LeBaby to the bench. David deserves better.

He’s old by NBA standards, he wants about 60 mill a year 3 year extension. They’re not gonna pay him that, idk who is.
