Shams Charania updates on Kyrie Irving’s absence & Jimmy Butler’s suspension | NBA Today

[@Miles_305]

Sorry Shams. I'll never doubt you again😅 Bernie Lee lied to us all.

[@Levhairabdian]

Jimmy didn’t get enough help what else is he gonna do led the Heat to two finals runs

[@chillxjayo8435]

I’m glad we didn’t pay him the max. He’s about to be 36 and wants a max deal. Very unreliable during the regular season, I don’t understand why people think strictly great playoffs play deserves a max deal. Putting more pressure on Miami all season just to make the playoffs then finally trying is insane 😂

[@realamerican8069]

@@chillxjayo8435your logic is flawed.. Jimmy’s been over worked.. The Heat chose not to get him any help for silly reasons.. that literally makes zero sense.. 2finals runs and virtually no roster changes is crazy.. Jimmy literally did it playing defense and elite offense.. Pat had one job! Assemble a good roster and he failed!

[@chillxjayo8435]

@@realamerican8069 that’s false we tried to get a good amount of stars. To which it would’ve involved 2-3 young players then he would complain he still doesn’t have help. He definitely led us to generational runs fr but would u pay someone the max who’s a 20 point scorer in the regular season then tries in the playoffs?

[@durrellbowden5495]

ALL YALL WRONG. Yall definitely not Heat fans. Talking about they didn't get Butler help. Have yall been alive the past 4/5 years. The STARTING C is a 6ft9 PF at BEST. But what they doing. STILL using the warriors small ball mentality. EARTH to everyone in Miami. ALL the best Centers are Big. NOBODY. I repeat. NOBODY is winning a ring with a C that's the size of a SF/fringePF. No help? No stars? Yall are beyond crazy. The heat traded key pieces BOTH times they went to the finals. The 2nd time they played soo good they had to get rid of a couple so they could make more money. Injuries AND playing through Jimmy every possession every game. THATS not basketball. It don't work for Bron. Even he needed Kyrie. All the heat PGs and D wade. Rondo in the bubble with Danny Green at SG. YOU WON'T succeed in the nba if u don't have a certified PG and a C. Even the warriors had Javale McGee. Still got Kevon Looney. Bruno Fernando. Every winning team has true Cs. The heat. DO NOT HAVE THAT

[@quintidwell99]

Y'all act like we wasn't trying can't make a player come Pat went after Giannis and KD both declined to come

[@ryanamburgy2791]

[@JaMorantBiggerArm]

​@@sting114 He still owns the mavs?

[@Velveteenvision]

Draymond was out for 12 games when he had a herniated disc (which is more severe) .. so yeah could be longer than 2 weeks. Draymond was also 32 when that happened, 3 years ago.

[@SocialJWA1Love]

Shamstradamos…. “Don’t hate the messenger, hate the agent”😂 GO HEAT’🔥

[@anthonypierre2094]

Heat don't want to pay Jimmy and don't feel his value is that high and now will want to trade him for high value...... Miami treat your stars as such because when they gone you gonna wish you had them.

[@xzalean]

I dont wanna see him on the Suns. real talk can the Spurs somehow get Jimmy Butler. I'd rather him go there with Wemby and Chris Paul

[@appallingamusement1213]

That would be a really good trade machine idea for both sides. You can package Keldon Johnson, Harrison Barnes, Champagnie and some first round picks. That would be enough to get it done in my opinion. A starting lineup of Chris Paul, Devin vassell, Jimmy butler, Jeremy Shochan and Wemby. Yikes, look out. The Heat also gets back two talented young starting caliber wings, a veteran that's won championships in Barnes and some first rounders. The Heat would still be good enough to secure, at minimum, a play in spot in a weak Eastern Conference.

[@Scotty2Hotty1122]

@@appallingamusement1213Miami not taking that. The spurs don’t have interest in Jimmy they are kinda doing what the Thunder are doing tbh. Hugh character and building the young core up together

[@QYgod]

Or maybe the warriors but I agree joining the suns would be twice as bad as being on the heat, Suns suck

[@notacat7127]

Chris Paul is washed

[@reallyharsh]

spurs should trade for butler

[@pg13pacernation30]

you cant have this sentiment about a player who brought Heat to heights they havent seen in years through sheer will. Situations like this are never one-sided

[@Mr.219]

How does this crew not know the Heat has said Jimmy will not be back even after the suspension?

[@ajhandsome01]

it’s not that simple if no one is willing to trade for jimmy

[@kylegravel5298]

Most relationship breakups "Bb its not you it's me" Jimmy butler and any nba team eventually "Bb it's not me it's you"

[@lordsoftherealm2752]

Smart, Kennard, and Clarke is a decent package, as good as their going to get.

[@asapsantana7633]

Jimmy butler best fit is on the warriors we definitely need him so we could be dominant again because buddy hield is inconsistent as hell

[@AP90x]

Thats not his best fit. Thats just where you want him

[@Shaolin_Chris]

i dont think you know anything about the warriors if you think jimmy butler will solve their problems

[@tweetyfos]

Warriors can’t afford jimmy with new rules.

[@meekEd]

Lol, keep dreaming..

[@ang695]

no

[@shawnmoore3046]

Man injuries can make a huge difference no matter what your record is..

[@Matthew4922CODM]

My Mavs are screwed 😮

[@billy306]

I like butler to the nuggets. If you can get him and Duncan Robinson for porter jr, Braun and pj Watson I’d do that. Miami gets young talent in return. Nuggets get back butler and shooting in Robinson

[@thatguy3445]

Hell no! Respectfully.

[@billy306]

@ they aren’t contenders with who they got. Should probably maximize Jokics prime.

[@DNGR369]

This has no chance. Heat don't want Porter LOL. Classic 2k mindset thinking the other team wants what they want to trade. If Jimmy is worth the trouble to get you gotta give up something as valuable and you don't have that

[@billy306]

@@DNGR369 heat won’t have a choice. He’s 35 with one year left on his contract making 50 million. And he just asked for a trade lol. Heat have zero leverage. I think it’s pretty good value honestly.

[@CraigCharley]

Everyone should quit being jealous of LeBron James. He has always been Humble and graceful to opponents

[@JayEm312]

I think Butler should go to Jordan's team, the Hornets. Jordan was tough and the Hornets could benefit from his toughness under Jordan's guidance.

[@slickdthep007]

Jimmy to Dallas 🤔🤔

[@brucemoody2539]

Why would they bring in a huge contract? When they didn't even want to pay jimmy?

[@EGerman16]

I think Jimmy would be a better fit in Milwaukee with Giannis and Dame than with KD and Book. Also, Phoenix is unrealistic as Miami has already showed they do not want Beal’s contract

[@nest3308]

Him no caring about losing 2 millions is proof that they are overpaid

[@starmakingmachine9097]

Jimmy Butler, Duncan Robinson and Jovic for Booker

[@QYgod]

I like that

[@giffondhall9214]

The Mavs clearly need jimmy with all injuries piling up!

[@D753e]

Jimmy is holding aces, plus the joker is wild! 😅

[@maleeks_world]

i don’t see jimmy playing with KD and book… somebody gone get annoyed reallll quick lol

[@DNGR369]

Opposite. His style of play will really compliment the duo. He penetrate the rim and they more perimeter middy. Match made in heaven

[@svbion]

2.3M's is wild.

[@Postman535]

There should be no more talk about Jimmy until he’s moved. It’s a wash cycle topic. We get it. He’s suspended. He won’t play for Miami again. Pat Riley is ready for a retirement home. MOVE ON!

[@cjamazing420]

Well it's not that simple... if no team wants to trade for him then what? Or if the heat don't like any of the offers they get then what? Jimmy might end up just having to play with the heat.

[@Postman535]

That’s a lot of “ifs” for a situation that is definite.

Butler is worth zero assets right now. Maybe other bad contracts or injuries players. Nobody is giving Miami any serous draft capital or good young players.
