Every time these jokers start messing with nail polish and dressing like a woman they go off the deep end. SMH.

I’m tired of this story. Jimmy isn’t good enough for all this attention.

I’d have suspected Riley to sit still on his demands, getting the rd1 pick if not a star. We need to develop our young talent, keep tweaking our roster. The LAST thing we want to do is take on additional contracts just to appease Butler. LET HIM WALK! REGAIN THE CAP SPACE!
Believe me, I used to SING PRAISES of Jimmy Butler but 2025’s CBA is NOT 2022’s CBA and every player coming up for contract negotiations is going to take a hit. I honestly thought Butler was the second coming of UD, boy was I wrong!

Now that Jimmy off the books for the season, i wouldnt even trade him… Stay home diva. Heat only owe him 32mil now after the stay home savings for next season… He wouldnt go no where…

Theres a player in Sac named Fox that has no plans to extend but is still ballin. Butler is not honoring his deal and these guys like SAS ia blaming the Heat.

Butler gets the boot the Heat make the playoffs period. Jimmy is a sickness sadly a brat. Pat Riley IS the Miami Heat. He administrates a franchise. He’s very good at drafting players and one star away from competing to another level. Miami is a good place to play that spent their draft capital. They are getting some back and will rebuild quickly.

Jimmy Butler gets paid 50 million a year and wouldn’t be able to work a 9-5 job

I’m not gonna keep a man who will not play for the team. NBA does not revolve around Jimmy Butler.

What does Phoenix do with Butler? Unless Beal okays a trade to Miami Butler plays the same position. What Phoenix needs is an aggressive big.

I wish no team would get him and that the Heat would suspend him infinitely without pay until his contract expires.
@LeroyDennis-d5j
January 29, 2025 at 2:25 am
The heats should let him go he’s a good player but he’s not the piece to get you a title he always fall off at the end not worth it

Its his last contract and after getting Miami to the finals wuthout getting help twice cost him a ring and the bag. I dont know who is more at fault Miami or Jimmy. Houston looks good. He can take Houston to the Finals.

Why even have contracts if players can just whine and get their way out it?

Jimmy isn’t that good of a player to be causing all this noise
