- Thread starter Raquinotj
- Start date
"They paying Jimmy 50 mil a year"
"I want more, so what"
"He ain't getting more"
"Well if you don't want me, I don't wanna be here
"...But can't just not show up to work:"
"Why not
Shaq had flashbacks to dealing with Pat Riley in 2007-2008.
He was same age as Butler.
And he got dealt on February 6, 2008 to Phoenix.
So this year’s deadline will be 17 years to the day.

The sneak cap alpha dog fight with rose. That was there and chicago. Of course siding with the cheaper expendable option in butler. Really was rhe first move. In the what i like to call the why can't i be the best rampup player in the nba, Jimmy Butler series that has all lead to now.
Real talk the best place for him would be the nuggets. As fsr as the nuggets having another do for self or die player.
that was bigger than jamal at pg in the post season.

Shaq a idiot
Y'all really have to stop using "carried bums to the Finals" as a clutch. What did he do with talented teams? 6 years in Chi, and was in his prime..he was damn near 30 when he left, and they didn't do anything. Minnesota - didn't do anything; traded to Philly and they didn't do anything. Then he gets on a hardworking, overachieving team and now he's some world-changing player. Half of those playoffs series he was in, he was trash. A few of them he was streaky gunner...and he's still burned every single bridge. Bottom line, he hit the jackpot in MIA, and should prob be grateful.
LMAO
JIMMY WAS DRAFTED AS A DEFENSIVE SPECIALIST.
HE JUST ENTERED HIS OFFENSIVE PRIME
DURING HIS FINAL SEASON IN
CHICAGO AND HE WAS 27...
HE WENT TO MINNY AND IMMEDIATELY
GAVE THEM THEIR FIRST PLAYOFF BIRTH
IN 13 SEASONS...
WENT TO PHILLY TRIED NOT
TO ROCK THE SHIP
PLAYING BEHIND EMBIID/SIMMONS.
EMBIID PROCEEDED TO SHOOT
37% IN THAT RAPTORS SERIES.
JIMMY TIES THE GAME
TO FORCE OT IN GM 7
BUT KAWHI TURNS AROUND
AND HITS A BUZZER BEATER.
HE GOES TO MIA
AND IMMEDIATELY TAKES
A LOTTERY TEAM TO THE FINALS.

Nah those wins the Heat had against the Celtics were legit
But to paraphrase I would say the Heat's gameplan to beat the Celtics was to make Marcus Smart believe he was the #1 option, and let his ego get in the way. Leave him open and take all the shots while they double Tatum and Brown. They legit almost beat the Celtics in 2022 in Game 7 using that strategy and it almost worked
That is why I was so happy when Marcus Smart got traded. Once Smart was off the Celtics, the Heat had 0 chance of beating the Celtics
When he was in Philly and Minnesota he took both franchises deeper in the playoffs than they’d been in like 10+ years the first year he was there
While his exits at all 3 have been bad, he is a proven difference maker in the playoffs. He’s like the reverse PG/Harden where he’s only decent in the regular season but plays up to the level of the moment in the postseason.
There is validity in what you say. However, the only reason Jimmy is in Miami is because he had issues at 3 other stops. He has made it clear he will show his ass and make things uncomfortable. Miami still acquired him, milked him for post Bron relevance and decided not to pay him AND to keep him around like they hadnt seen his movies. Thats on them. Say what you will about what Jimmy is doing but you cant say its surprising.
Where's Jimmy's rings?

He hasn't a successful career in spite of not having a chip?

People are really sleeping on Jimmy Butler in here lol
He has a proven track record of success when joining a new team. He just wears them out after a while.
The next team he goes to will probably be his final and you know he's gonna have a chip on his shoulder to prove Riley wrong.
Certain teams should just pay him and roll the dice. He could be the difference between winning a championship and not. And his value is low at the moment

Jimmy is not a # 1
He cannot be the best player on a championship team
He is a #3 on a title team
The shyt he did in Miami was about the infrastructure of that organization
He cannot carry a team to championships
I don't know why people can't understand this
He's never been that guy
