I know he's still a good player but if I was running a team I wouldn't want butler within 100 miles of my locker room

[@ltsmash254]

You wouldnt trade bradley beal for him?

[@edwardmanues8576]

It's all about perception not what the reality of the situation.. Under what the perception is. I agree. Yet what is reality. What Jimmy's reaction isn't okay Pat to me is more at fault. Of course this is just me any big name player who is on the heat or the heat are looking to sign I'd have reservations because of what pat did to D.wade

[@metal--babble346]

The Heat stretched out "basket case Butler" longer then previous teams. Eventually the unstable emotions leaked out

[@seanquinn4787]

People bashing Riley but forget that Riley called out Tyler Herro in the same interview that he did Jimmy. Herro stepped his game up in the off-season and just made his first all star team. The issue is Riley didnt have the foresight to know that this ending was destined from the second they didnt offer Jimmy an extension.

[@joshlewis575]

5th team now?!? At some point, you'd think he'd recognize he's the issue.

[@TheCloZer11]

Riley... period

[@DrPhill96]

After Miami fails year after a year to add top free agents, you’d think Pat recognize he’s the issue.

[@michaelmaniloff9297]

​@DrPhill96 you aren't very smart

[@DrPhill96]

@ - As long as I’m smarter than you and Pat keeps being mid, I’m good.

[@michaelmaniloff9297]

@DrPhill96 since the Heat came into the league they are one of the top franchises. What are you talking about.

[@KerronMcgriff]

If I'm Miami I am in no rush to move him but you got to say he hasn't played this long and then going into the next season still I don't know how many teams would want him that would drop his stock in judging by what the analyst just said Miami look like they was going to move people anyway because realistically the only thing that kind of saved Jimmy Butler being there was that last trip to the championship

[@johaw105]

Why trade for an entitled drama queen, that will be burning you team chemistry down in two years bc the now 60 mil a year you gave him is not enough?

[@heisenberg2966]

Because it only takes ONE SEASON, to Win a Championship.

[@DrPhill96]

Why work for an entitled drama king, that will be giving you random caliper tests and having you show you to work many hours before it’s needed?

[@faustorivera4393]

​@@DrPhill96Funny how everyone is amazed by Kobe's crazy commitment to be better for the sake of winning but have issues with an authority having the same approach.

[@DrPhill96]

@ - Kobe wanted out of his commitment to LA to get away from Phil but his request was denied, then they traded for Pau.

[@johaw105]

@@DrPhill96 did kobe ever just give up on the team and organization?

[@Iconoblasto]

I'm so glad he said he didn't want to go to Memphis BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT HIS DISGRUNTLED, INJURED NONSENSE

[@TheCloZer11]

Memphis has other issues anyway. We outta send the military there just like we're doing at the border. That damn crime/ murder rate there.

[@TheCloZer11]

I don't know why the NBA even let y'all have a team. David Stern would have forced y'all to clean up that mess of a town.

[@aidanorsino1]

Better to suspend him until trade deadline line is over , to avoid any injury

[@ghost4-6]

Butler represents 13.8 well.

[@mikelliteras397]

Send him to the Kings

[@peace_of_mind_00]

Butler for Fox 🤝

[@brandonbrooks898]

He wants more money but has lost over 3 million and counting quick being suspended. Like bro, there are other ways to force yourself out then to get suspended without pay. Seems counterintuitive on his approach

[@KevinBrime-zg8ek]

His kids mother gets 55k a month and back in court asked ng for more. She birth 3 kids from him.

[@edwardmanues8576]

I see your point. Everyone says it's about the money. Maybe it's about an extension all together just not a low balled number who knows what's really going on. Only 2 people who really know is pat and jimmy

[@Humanipathic]

Mannix has as many sources as I do. And his opinions him being sent somewhere he don’t wanna go def not gonna happen

[@MTbone7]

Jimmy has lost all love from the Miami fans, he's going out a whiny baby

[@mastersugar8311]

And heat have who..Bam...Heat used that poor boy up..Hawks fan hear not trading Kong for Bam at this point..BAM and Tyler..good luck..South Beach a calling but you still need to draft at some point

[@Spooky47-u4q]

They are going straight to cancun without jimmy

[@joemagwood9130]

They was going there with him.

[@jhank0cean]

based on the state of the East... it's a 1st round exit WITH Jimmy, it's a 1st round exit WITHOUT Jimmy

Warriors wont trade for Butler. Heat won't take the Warrior's players to help them.

Jimmy for Embiid upright? Who says no??

[@runk_gaming1564]

The heat we don’t want him

[@jonathancruz7848]

Both say no . Philly already had Jimmy . He not there anymore . Miami don’t want the embid headache either . It’s trading one headache for another. Not personality wise headache for embid - just availability and injury prone .

[@destinywaitMW]

Is Mannix behind does stupid trades i see allways opening my phone from SI? :D

[@michaelisaac4439]

Teams want jimmy but I don’t think Pat trades him. Jimmy is pretty much losing money on this and Pat can ride this out until the end of the season when jimmy’s player option comes up.

[@DrPhill96]

Then what? 😂😂😂 They will still have to trade him or lose him for nothing? Pat is losing.

[@michaelisaac4439]

@ not really since you’re not getting what you want for him anyways and Jimmy has the option to stay or test FA. Since they built their case against him he’s pretty much suspended and he’s also losing money they will have to be paid directly to the organization. He is under contract they can do whatever they want and suspend him for the rest of the year while hitting his pockets.

[@DrPhill96]

@@michaelisaac4439 - Pat is FAILING as a decision maker. Should have tracked Butler and got something for him instead of creating a circus and getting nothing for Jimmy. Pat’s job is to make the team better and keep them engaged. Now, they are a .500 team with no improvements coming.

[@michaelisaac4439]

@ he’s creating money for the future if he trades Jimmy or keeps him til FA he only has 2 big contracts on the team in bam and herro and he has a lot of money to sign players and draft a few guys….you’re thinking of current status instead of the future that’s why you don’t understand what Pat is doing

[@DrPhill96]

@ - He can’t lure top free agents and top players don’t want to be traded there. He is doing nothing but staying a mid tiered team. Miami drafts well though.

[@mastersugar8311]

Draft capital..lol how ..Butler got em to the top but he wasn't a hometown guy..smh this is when a GM has to eat it .Ainge and Riley just got to be the smartest guys in the room...Lakers??? Clips

[@KerronMcgriff]

This trade is all about what Miami can get Jimmy Butler made Miami job a lot easier in trading him Miami now does not have to ask him well where would you like to go now they're saying you're going to go now they're telling you you're going to go to wear best benefits us that means he might go to a bad team but later on Miami will have some good pics and throughout everything I just said I still don't know where he's going to go

[@DrumDrumMan-p1t]

Player entitlement at it's best ownership ineptitude at it's best.. first these types of actions displayed by Butler>> is a huge reason nba viewership is dropping like a rock,, and ownership is no better!!! the sun's owner came into the league way above his head, with a blaze of glory, traded basically the whole team for KD who has become the new Lebron, sense he left the warriors no team can get enough help around him...Bradley Beal with his no trade contract, neither took a penny less, so there is that. and all of the experts are so puzzled as to why no one watches this low class drama league???

[@kennguyen8038]

This guy worn out his welcome at every team. A cancer that not worth giving up talents a d draft picks for.

[@DrPhill96]

After Pat retires or breaks a hip, Miami can then lure top free agents. Players would love to play and live in Miami once he is gone. Until then, they will be .500 or a little better.

[@JJ_5289]

And whats wrong with being 500 or a little better? The heat have made the playoffs 7 times since lebron left and the finals twice. It's hard for me to be critical of the way theyve run the team when they are competitive every year.

[@DrPhill96]

@ - How many rings have they won since LBJ? How many top free agents have they lured since LBJ? What successful trades? Pat is TRASH as an Executive. Stay .500, that’s the real Heat Culture.

[@lvpradagucci5539]

They said the same thing about kyrie i dont see none of the bs u talking about butler aint gonna be a disruption he wanna be traded

Pat Riley is the Jerry Jones of the NBA.

Man won't bring in a single person to help him except Gabe Vincent literally off the street. It's so sad.

There have been 79 NBA Finals played, ever. Pat Riley has been a part of 19 of them. Jerry Jones hasn't done anything since the Clinton administration.

[@michaelisaac4439]

Na pat is that guy and doesn’t care about the spotlight unlike Jerry.This is jimmy butler thinking he can bully the front office like he did in his previous years. He’s learning Pat isn’t a pushover and knows the NBA rulebook like the back of his hand. Now they don’t have to trade him if they don’t want to and they’re hitting his pockets while doing it.😂ultimate power move
