I feel like Miami did Jimmy a solid. They gave him $50 million when everyone else thought they were crazy to do so. Jimmy never played more than 65 games in a season in Miami and doesn't take the regular season seriously. Jimmy did carry them in the playoffs at almost a legendary level, but Miami put up with a lot from him too. Real talk Jimmy has worn out his welcome EVERYWHERE.

[@BLACKSTA361]

If they surrounded him with actual Talent then bone of this wouldve happened. Calling up a bunch of G League players that play hard yes but are limited in talent and expecting jimmy to turn it into rings just cause hes went to finals with poverty rosters before is not recipe for success

[@dash4800]

@BLACKSTA361 for real, they sat him with a team where they couldn't even afford to run 8 man rotations in the playoffs. A team where Jimmy would have to play huge minutes in the playoffs while effectively acting like the power forward because outside of Bam they never signed a single player that they could actually play decent minutes in the playoffs. You cant seriously expect a team of 6'4 guards to put in 120% effort every minute of every game for years on end vs teams that have more talent reserves and more size and athleticism. Thats just completely garbage roster management.

[@MikeM-np4od]

@BLACKSTA361 Is Bam not an all-star and on Team USA? Bam was the leading scorer (barely) in the Finals against Denver not Jimmy. Did Herro not win 6th man of the year and average 20ppg for like the last 4 seasons? That's more than what other teams have. Who where the Heat supposed to get outside of Dame? And trading your depth for a "star" worked so well for PHX and the Clippers right? Miami got as far as they were supposed to go, not everyone is supposed to win a chip.

[@atlien1988]

@BLACKSTA361 I think yall are underselling how great Bam & Herro have been when they are available on the court. Butler played fantastic during those playoff runs, but so did his teammates. I understand the frustrations on both sides though.

[@MikeM-np4od]

@dash4800 Denver literally won a title with a 8 man rotation. Again outside of Dame, who was this magical player(s) the Heat were supposed to get? You have another all-star in Bam, and another 20ppg scorer in Herro on your squad. Y'all acting like Jimmy is Steph and been putting up MVP seasons and all-time numbers and Miami hasn't gotten him anything like the Warriors. I am sure you ask Miami's front office they didn't even think they were a championship team in those two Finals run and they surprised themselves. Also y'all forget how bad Jimmy was in that 21 playoff run against the Bucks and just talk about the two Finals runs.

On paper the roster looked ass and tbh outperformed what was expected in the post season but a lot of guys showed up.

I’m a huge fan of Jimmy and I’ve appreciated everything he’s done for us including 2 finals appearances in 4 years which was incredibly special and I’ll never forget those runs. Thankful for these past 5 years of the Jimmy Butler era and wish him luck.. just really sad it had to end this way. Wanted him to retire on the Heat.

[@BLACKSTA361]

Why would he take a paycut? If the Miami Heat front office was serious it would be worth the risk. Theyre not tho

[@WrestlingHoops]

@BLACKSTA361to get better teammates and win obviously.

[@youngty7174]

​@ICONOCLAST are you stupid? Even when they had cap space, they did nothing. Why would Jimmy take a paycut knowing that Riley wouldnt do shit with the money except signing undrafted or average players. That makes no sense whatsoever. Its easy to say things like that when ur viewing things from an external pov

[@davidriedy5977]

honestly you could make the argument that Bam and Tyler weren't necessarily "legitimate stars." Good players, but not necessarily quite on that level

[@SomeChink]

@@davidriedy5977if Jimmy is who Jimmy thinks he is, Bam and Herro are more than enough if having a all-star teammate on a roster isn’t good enough, what are we even talking about?

"you either die as a SpongeBob or live long enough to see your become a Squidward" isn't the quote we needed but the quote we deserved

[@2Good2BeTrue45]

Heat have not failed Butler. Dude just kept writing checks his ass couldn't cash. Man knows the Celtics gonna dog walk him and now he running

[@Purple-Popcorntm]

The craziest thing is: Miami didn't just refuse to get better, they actively got WORSE. They lost key roleplayers like Gabe and Caleb for absolutely nothing and didnt get anyone to replace them.

Damn bro. That hit hard. Ime only 40. And already squidward. Who would think a kids cartoon reference would actually be so deep.

[@I.H.N]

Hot take: jimmy butler today was what happened to lebron in the late 2000s and 2010s. Broke his back to the finals, never got help from the organization. Kinda insane 😂

[@weaksword]

i dont blame him at all bro ive been so over the Heat this year and even last

[@2eze_]

As a Heat fan I’ve lost my joy for the rest of the season until further notice

[@rhondadearborn3265]

Sorry. I am surprised on your take. Jimmy is not the good guy. He’s imploded teams before. I hate the Heat and get great schadenfreude with their crumbling, but I see Riley’s side.

[@azovandy14.88]

Riley was right Butler should have kept his mouth shut and been happy, he’s not a max player and deserves to be dumped on bottom dweller.

[@jaden85643]

Man he barely played, they both let each other down

[@mollyanderson657]

People forget that in Miami Heat is the Pat Riley show.

[@Marvinnnnnnnn]

Miami didn't help him when he wanted to win, made him the bad guy, and pat attacking him in public smh.

[@wojargameplays9616]

the heat love to be in the mud

[@thankyoujodi]

People fight more for this man than LeBron during his first Cleveland run.

[@drewmeyer9679]

They haven’t put anyone around him since he’s got there and has carried them to 2 Finals and 3 ECF.

[@WEBBER_]

The guy can't win. Period. Cries like a whiny spoiled brat. Good for the heat and pat for letting this dude walk away. The guy has been team jumping team after team. Toxic guy. Good riddance

[@shaun5497]

No no Jimmy butt hurt because pat reily told him to be quiet if you not playing. He played less than 50 games

[@temporary_happy]

Its saddening honestly. Pat Riley should be held accountable.

[@AT-vc6ds]

The Heat-Celtics rivalry is deep! The early 2020s saw the teams battle to the finals and the Celtics won a championship before the Heat, only compounding what Riley said! Riley should’ve just let it be and be like ‘dats how we roll!’

[@terrencesimpkins734]

Jimmy literally hand picked kyle lowry you bum. You can tell you dnt watch games or basketball in general.

[@Stephen_Jabs]

No matter what topic I from the Philippines always watch Dynamo's videos 😊

[@AllBetzOff]

It crazy looking at his stats recently. It’s like he does great for a few minutes then just does some cardio. Dude can ball but just doesn’t

[@davidriedy5977]

I agree. We should have been able to win with Jimmy. Sucks to have it end this way. Hope he gets a ring elsewhere. I'm looking forward to the future now

[@EpicCoolGuy21]

As a Heat fan, I can say the Heat did what they shouldn’t have if they wanted to make the most of Butler and kept hiring new talent instead of building a chip-worthy team with established talent. Maybe they thought Butler and the coaching staff would condition & build this new talent, but Butler has chip aspirations and I don’t see him getting ready to settle down and become more of a mentor. At the same time, with the Dame trade for example, the Heat don’t have chips they can bargain with for decent trades. They don’t have decent picks, and of the players they can use as leverage, trading any of them would be a huge gamble to the safety of the team’s synergy when a new player (no matter how good) could risk it.

[@stephengrinkley9889]

No..Jimmy Butler failed Jimmy Butler. Dude has burned bridges everywhere he went, and now at 35 with injuries he still has the same entitlement mindset he had when he was 25. Dude has become the Terrell Owens of the NBA

[@KenKnowsIt]

Agree with a lot of what you’re saying, but any atmosphere can muddy your joy no matter the money. Essentially, he lost the spark he felt for basketball. He’ll still do the work, but it’s still a form of expression.

[@GreyFox405]

It’s very tough to improve the team when you’re unwilling to move from your core players Bam and Tyler. And Bam at this moment in time is looking like the worst contract in the NBA.

[@YahyaKhan-uv6ct]

As a heat fan I 100000% agree man has given us it his all. Pat hasn't surrounded him with the necessary players and tools to win

[@hemisphere29]

"Permposterous..." I'd sub twice if I could lmao

[@bruskydu]

With all the changes and the 2nd aprons, players can't always be expecting a max now. It brings back normality that only the best gets max money instead of mediocrity being rewarded

[@omnione12]

Butler is an amazing player, amazing teammate, and an underrated superstar. The thing from what I understand is he was asking for a max deal, lets be honest, he is 35 years old people. You can pay him, but it wouldn't make sense from a business perspective. Also, Adding Dame is pointless because you need a ball distributor to feed the ball to the big men, he is a score-first PG, who doesnt play defense for S***. You guys got to abandon this stupid ass logic that adding an assload of scorers to a roster equals championship. Giannis will tell you he rather have Holiday of Dame. Jrue was an elite defender, looked for the pass first, and took smart shots. Bam is a 3 time All Star, 5 X All Defensive player Tyler Herro is the 6th men of the year, and Avg 20ppg Butler is a 6 X All Star and 5X All Defensive player. I agree they should have done more, but people need to understand between those 3 players the remaining options to add a player that fits the system is impossible. Who can you sign or trade for that will elevate this roster. Chris Paul is the best ball distributor, but his age is a question. Everyone else is locked in on their team.
