BREAKING NEWS: All Star forward Jimmy Butler walks out of practice after being informed he would be benched, Suspended indefinitely by the Miami Heat

[iamduval]

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

Jimmy was the key guy and he was given max money to be the key guy.

Bam and Goran got injured in the bubble. Jimmy was a no show against the lakers in game 6.

Jimmy was also a no show against Denver after hobbling around against the Celtics in 2023.

No one remembers that bc it doesn’t fit the narrative of Jimmy carrying scrubs.

Jimmy carried them. That shyt isnt even debateable lol

You’re a casual and that’s ok

That’s approximately what I’m saying.

People always with this carrying shyt.
Like how are you carrying a team to finals with 19-6-6, or 22-6-6 in the playoffs. Being the best player, or highest scoring player on the team, is not carrying.

It’s almost like saying Richard Hamilton carried the 04 Detroit

The heat shouldnt of been in da finals in da first place in either of those years and you are criticizing him for being a no show in game 6 when he was dead tired and against a stacked denver team. You have low IQ

 

[CHICAGO]

And they made the playoffs 2 years prior to that in Bam’s rookie year.

I know you love Jimmy but he ain’t worth all this commotion

7 PPG BENCH PLAYER BAM?

WHAT WAS THE POINT
OF MENTIONING THAT?

[tremonthustler1]

NO ITS NOT...

THE HEAT ARENT A 2ND APRON TEAM
WHICH MEANS THAT CAN STILL
COMBINE PLAYERS AND MATCH SALARIES.

Phoenix Suns, Minnesota Timberwolves, Boston Celtics, and Milwaukee Bucks

ARE THE ONLY TEAMS
THAT ARE PRETTY MUCH
IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE TRADES WITH
UNLESS BEAL WAIVES HIS CLAUSE

ALSO JIMMY WOULDN'T
BE TELLING RILEY HES NOT RESIGNING
IF RILEY WANTS HIM TO OPT OUT


​

The problem is also that he can't threaten to have Miami walk away with nothing because there aren't teams with the kind of cap space that will be ready to spend it on him, so the trade is his only way towards his goal.

WE KNOW JIMMY WANTS
TO BE TRADED SO WHATS THE POINT
OF YOUR REPLY?

THE QUESTION IS WHY DOES
RILEY WANT HIM TO RESIGN?

HE TRIED TO PLAY THE SAME
TOUGH GUY HEAT CULTURE shyt
WITH BRON KNOWING HE NEEDED BRON.


​

 

[CHICAGO]

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

AND IF RILEY TOLD
THAT UN-NAMED OTHER PLAYER TO STFU DURING
HIS EXIT PRESS CONFERENCE YOU AND
THE REST OF THIS BOARD WOULD
HAVE GONE FAKE MILITANT ON HIM



​

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Can’t invest 30/40 million dollars to a guy at 36 giving me only 55 games a year and we out the playoffs by the second round

The fact that people keep skating over this is hilarious. If this was the Lakers or Knicks looking to give a 36 yr Jimmy Butler, they would be getting killed.

Riley probably wouldn't mind keeping him at a cheaper price naturally.

But Jimmy's risking Riley cutting his nose off to spite his face by sending him home, especially if Jimmy doesn't carry much value back anyway. Sure Jimmy will get paid, but then he destroys any shot of that last big deal he wants.

JIMMYS NEXT DEAL IS LITERALLY
ONLY A ONE YR EXTENSION
ON HIS CURRENT OPTION

During those finals runs Jimmy was to the Heat what Ja Morant is to the Grizzlies

All their identity on the court and confidence came from that man and it was obvious as hell

You guys tryna use the numbers against him are hilarious those teams has no business reaching the finals with only one star

 

[LV Koopa]

I see the narrative on Jimmy being rewritten around here already.

Jimmy got them to the Finals twice, had injuries to key teammates, and still performed while being broken down himself.

Now I'll hear Goran Dragic and Haslem really carried the Heat.

The Devil is undefeated around here

If he was Jimmy Kovnic from some random independent country in Europe they'd give him a fair assessment

That's only if you have to believe that basketball isn't a team sport.

As the usual ESPN-hot take generation love to do, they even do it with football with their 50 man squads and 15 man coaching staff.


One can be a much needed, invaluable piece without carrying something. Like if you remove a screw from a car it might break down, but does that always mean that the screw is worth half the team?

Jimmy is the only 19-6-6-ppg player with stans saying "he carried the team".


Like the bar used to be cats like MJ, Magic to Kobe, Duncan to Lebron, Steph to Giannis, Jokic etc. that is carrying. You dudes are merely saying that the most important player is carrying. Even worse is that you are saying this about a team with 2 all-star players with similar accolades despite one being a nearly a decade younger
