Or rockets , but one of those 2. Nuggets or mavs too
I'd be very surprised if it's GS.

They'd need to gut their team in order to take on his contract, and it doesn't help their two biggest weaknesses (size and shooting). It makes the most sense for a team like Houston, but it's just a matter of if Pat is willing to get back someone like FVV.

Houston is perfect on paper, if he was younger this deal would have been done already but I understand why they are hesitant due to age. On paper though, he fits with them defensively and they get a go to guy when they need a bucket.

3 years 180 million dollars is a tough ask for guy in his mid 30s and probably on the decline now.

He took some mid Heat teams and overachieved on a couple of playoff runs. I’ve never thought he was a true #1 option on a championship team though, just my opinion though some may disagree and that’s fine.

From a management perspective you got to know when to move on from guys though. Thank you for your service but this isn’t working anymore.

I don’t know all the particulars to this, but the Heat hurt Jimmy’s trade value doing this and now they going to be put in a position to try to trade him for some scraps.

Good.

Only player that people have overhyped more in recent years is Edward’s.

Anyone with eyes knows Butler was never a real #1 option. Had a great series or two and people act like he's MJ.
GTFOH!! Jimmy Butler ain’t had but one bad series in a Heat Uniform(when healthy) and that was Milwaukee in 2021. :camby:

We saw Tyler Herro and bam adebayo get their shot pushed in by the Celtics last year in the first round but now it’s: “Miami GOOD without himmy. He overrated!!” Lmao

Y’all are full of shyt!! :mjlol:

Ppl were calling Herro overrated and a horrible trade piece just in the 2023 off season. Jimmy went to 2 finals with and without Herro. :camby:

:what: THIBS GOT FIRED
AFTER JIMMY WAS GONE

:devil:
:evil:

They were both disposed of some weeks apart. It's not like Thibs had extra years.

Poisoning the well on the way out was the usual MO for Butler. To imply his locker room cancer shenanigans had no bearings on releasing Thibs is denying reality.
