Who is giving up a pick for this guy? We're all watching this script play out for the third straight team.

You can't rent him because he's gonna do the same shyt to you. He has no value.
Two finals with dog water teammates.

You absolutely rent him if you are a contender. Jimmy can put you over the top. Same as Kawhi a few years back with Toronto. They knew he likely wasn't re-signing, but you pull the trigger in that situation. One championship is better than years being at the top and never getting over the hump.

Kawhi wasn't pouting over not getting an extension. How many times does it have to be reiterated that Jimmy only cares about an extension? He wants to get paid one last time.

He isn't going to get to Houston or wherever and start putting in max effort without an extension.

Biggest misconception is that Jimmy carried the Heat to two finals.

Bam was the best player in that bubble conference finals against Boston. Ask Celtics fans.

You can also ask Celtics fans about Caleb Martin, Max Struss, and Gabe Vincent.

Jimmy has actually missed multiple playoff games due to injury bc he’s injury prone as fuk.

Those teams were not super talented but this notion that Jimmy carried a team full of scrubs is getting tired

What was Riley thinking? How do you come into this season with this dude knowing you didnt want to pay him and knowing he wants to get paid and knowing how he gets down? What was the plan? Thought you was just gonna out alpha him and he would fall in line? Or did you just say :manny: for this season? Agree or disagree with Jimmy or how he is going about it but its clear what he wants.
What happened to just playing out your contract and using the contract year as an audition for the next contract? Jimmy throwing a tantrum because they won't extend him for the number he wants is hoe shyt. Go out there and prove you're worth the next big contract.

THE NUMBER HE WANTS?

JIMMYS EXTENSION IS LITERALLY
ONE YEAR ADDED TO HIS CURRENT DEAL.

ITS CLEAR RILEY WAS GONNA EXTEND HIM
BUT ON HIS TERMS
I.E. "YOURE GONNA HAVE TO WAIT
UNTIL I FEEL LIKE GIVING IT TO YOU"
AND JIMMY SAID "fukk THAT TRADE ME"

THIS WHOLE DEBACLE IS NOTHING
BUT RILEY TRYING TO FLEX
ON JIMMY SINCE LAST SUMMER
AND PUT HIM IN HIS PLACE
BUT IT BACKFIRED
:devil:
:evil:

Jimmy stans would have all sorts of shyt to say about another player doing the same things

And Jimmy himself would have lots to say about a teammate of his doing the same thing

But for some reason Jimmy's emotionally stunted weirdo ways are super attractive to a certain kind of stan who will crash out to defend this repeated behavior

What part of it is surprising or confusing though? This is the Jimmy Butler experience that you chose to sign up for. And it was all good while it was good. You cant expect him to play good soilder when he never has and honestly thats the only reason you were even able to get him. Knowing all that, why would you choose go into a season like this?

Jimmy Butler has been dissatisfied on every team he's be on in the NBA.

At this point it's fair to call him a clubhouse cancer, no matter how well he plays sometimes.
Thats valid but Riles has had a shytty ending with all his stars as well. At some point we gotta ask some questions about him and his approach. Both sides have their responsibility here. But its clear what Jimmy is on here. Wtf is Riley doing?

Why wait to get your bread if there’s someone else willing to pay you for it sooner?

This man has a 52 million dollar player option. The argument that he didn’t get rewarded for “carrying the Heat” is nonsense.

He played 62 games last year and missed the playoffs due to injuring a knee that he’s injured every year he’s been with the Heat. Who in their right mind would give this guy an extension.

Jimmy doesn’t want to play basketball. Anybody who watches him play can see that

Some young guys like Bam were obviously on the come up. I don’t know why one would look at the previous season when it comes to young guys with a steep growth curve

But why do people gotta discredit one or the other. Jimmy was very important as was Bam, and role/bench like Herro and the euro dude.
