Yes you are right but this is the wrong example. There’s something wrong with the heat organization. How can you have a player do everything for you and then ask for help and you don’t get him help. Then talk sgit like you on the court making billionaires more billions

Riley thought he played the guy but this one is twice the guy that was once the face of this team before at the same age
Already made a fortune. Willing to sacrifice to get out of there. Miami wins in court, but Bulter is willing to forego the money. $50 million? It's monopoly money. You can't even spend that much.
I wouldn't be surprised if one day, the NBA would stop allowing multiple year contracts. Time and time again, a player would sign a multi-year deal then decides to bail while still under contract. Just let them play for yearly contracts.
@shinnkun3730 giving a star a one year contract means he's signed for that team.🤦 It's just restructuring how they get paid. That way a player can leave after the season easily or a team can drop a disgruntled player just as easily.
People don't actually like to sell their house and move to a new state annually. It's very disruptive. And if you're selling your house at a loss to move it quickly and get the cash to buy a different house, you could be taking a 6-7 figure loss each year on the kinds of houses they live in.

I bet Miami made it seem they were going to give him more money, just to find out that that wasn't the case. Miami plan: Jimmy is not in his prime; he’s going to have a tantrum when he doesn't get what he wants (previous team behaviour), and we’re going to punish him by suspending him without pay. 💅😘
The league needs to make a clause. Play out your contract. No trades until the last year. Any player who does not play or misses games or practices gets a 5% fine of their contract on every games or practices missed.
It would have to come from Congress...the bill would allow employers to fine employees 5% of there salary for missing work or being late....I for one would totally be against that.
That’s a horrible idea that only a fan would come up with lol. Teams trade players all the time no matter how many years are left on a contract so your “idea” isn’t even something that any team would want.
Everything I hate about the nba. Players are so entitled that even the media make excuses for their behavior. Jimmy made demands, cool... He still has a contract why in hell does he think that he can dictate if the team makes him a starter. Just go sit on the bench and wait til the trade deadline.
it’s really weird to watch a guy making 50 million a year, complaining he isn’t getting paid or isn’t happy when most the country is broke af in comparison and seem to be happier than he is.
Yup. This is how you completely lose your fans, when u become so disconnected from them. Kobe and MJ talked about wanting to play hard every single game. MJ actually got pissed at Bulls mgmt when they wouldn't let him play more coming off his foot injury. Today's players are hurt W/O EVEN GETTING HURT 🙄
How the hell you don’t know who’s wrong ? Jimmy still on a contract 🤷🏾♂️. He ain’t doing himself no favors cause he’s a 35 year old always injured player who wants a long term deal 😩
Thats the usual Isiah thomas routine. I have seen him on some of the player and former player podcasts. The nba is very cliquey, its very sensitive and im going to guess he likes being in that "club". He doesnt want to jeopardize his status with those guys by trashing a current player.
This behavior is ruining his reputation in general. We all never thought Jimmy would've turned out to be this great ballplayer. But all this extra stuff he is doing for an extension is too unprofessional
@ProgressiveTruthSeekers , you're 100 percent correct. You're supposed to go out on the court to prove you're the best every night, to show your worth. NOT, act like a spoiled millionaire child, do all you can to hurt the team. You are getting PAID to do your job and being a fool is all you're showing.
@@TheSeekersofTruth thats why you and i are not in the nba lol, these guys are getting paid millions but they also wanted to win. Its not all about the money.

Sports has become more about money, endorsement deals, and players having control. In any other business, you do your job or get fired. The NBA is dying.
Jimmy is not doing himself any favors by acting like this. How will most teams think when they see a 35, past his prime, diva act out on his 4th team? Mind you he should be playing hard for his next contract, (the same way Kawhi tricked the clippers into giving him another bag) but no he wants to act like a fool to the very end.
No matter how much i admire a player and JB is definetly a great player, i despise people who cant fullfill their contrcat obligations. We are not talking about life here, we talk about a 2-3 year deal, you just were happy to sign a year or two ago. Unless the organization broke that contract i see no …zero… reason to reward these players. Its disgusting and disrespectful to people who have difficult circumstances and are working hard to make ends meet in their respective jobs. I love that the Heat have not given in to him so far. I hope he does not find another team who deals with this nonsense.
He pulled this crap with the Timberwolves, The Sixers, and now The Heat! No one wants this drama queen. He is a great player when HE wants to play for you!
What a sorry example JimmyB is doing for the future generations (not honoring his contract because of greed, pride, ego & whatever unresolve heart issues he carries). PATHETIC!
Eh. What he means is it's not what he's talking about in preparation for a game. Obviously, Jimmy came back for this game and they've already taken him out of the lineup which means they are prepared to move forward without him as a starter or even in the lineup altogether. He's actually hurting them in games because he isn't playing with intention or intensity. He's just a body on the floor. He's playing mind games with management so instead of playing into his hands, they're mentally preparing the team to not even focus on whether he'll be there or not. They keep suspending him to show the team to not even count on him. They just won against orlando last night. Win or lose, the team knows Jimmy's beef with management has counted him out as a potential player on the court on a nightly basis. At this point they've gone 10 games without him and are pretty much moving on from him as a player. The coaches are literally starting a lesser skilled player to send the message to him that we are going to just move forward, reduce your role and keep the team chemistry intact. We will fit you in how we see fit. Win or lose.
Jimmy Butler he sign a contract to play basketball for the Miami Heat and that Is what the Miami eat is looking from him to play basketball wow what is going on? You signed a contract.
No need, just interview Shams. Jimmy’s agent using Shams as his reverse “beard”: whispering sweet nothings in his ear behind the scenes, then the agent denies Shams publicly. Shams reporting for about a week how “Jimmy Butler tripled down” on trade request. Well here we have Riley’s triple down.
Right because I remember last season Jimmy commenting that as a competitor he believe the playoff series they lost wldve been different if his injury hadn't prevented him from playing... Pat Riley in live news conference said "Jimmy should keep his mouth shut etc" and I knew then something cld turn after that.
Acting immature when someone doesn't treat you how u feel u should be treated is what children do. Interview Jimmy Butler if you want a child's take on the whole thing.
pat riley is going to cause erik spolestra to want to leave the team unless this situation is put behind him.....this is frustrating when a head coach cannot focus on what he was brought to do...and that is coach basketball
Man it’s crazy Jimmy passion and energy in the playoffs is amazing but he’s changed now. He deserves to be on a better though but of course he’s making lots of money but I don’t blame him for wanting him to win
Everyone’s hating on butler but forget how happy he was in Philly. Since 2020 he took the heat to the finals twice. Even beat the Celtics in an upset and took it the finals I’m sure Jimmy wouldn’t be acting like this if he wasn’t provoked in some type of way. Any team that picks him up is going to get immediately better.
I remember when Chicago fans warned T-Wolves fan base post-Jimmy Butler trade that he had gone ‘Hollywood’.. Here we are three more teams after he was drafted to Bulls in 2011, and he went from quiet humble hard worker to arrogant and entitled diva 😅😂
What's so well run in the Miami Heat? Cut out the media narratives about "Heat Culture" and you have a mid team Jimmy carried to the finals, that's not only stagnated but gotten worse with no new additions and losing all their key role players. Jimmy set this team up for a potential championship run, but it's the Heat who aren't doing anything to build around Jimmy. He's tired after years of dedication without a single star brought in to play alongside him. And now when it comes to extension talks, they're not even willing to give him one despite all that he's done for them. Can't believe people be parroting the NBA media position on Jimmy.
They already gave him a 3-year extension. He's bailing during the second year of that because they won't give him another one. You understand? He's already well-compensated for what he's done but now he hasn't done enough to get another extension.
@@chrischan6211 he wants to win a championship, while the Heat are content with being a mediocre team that won't go anywhere. Giving Tyler Herro that big contract while letting all the key role players leave all the while refusing to even compete for the top available talent to pair with Jimmy is criminal. Jimmy deserves a true playoff team where he can have a serious run for a championship. He's that kind of a player. He's not messing around right now because he's lazy or whatever, he's just lost respect for the organization that isn't serious about competing. I respect him even more for that.
Today players feels they're bigger than the league (NBA) which before was the opposite because i don't think players back then, never felt they were bigger & had respect for the league. But that's the league's own fault & now they're paying for it.
Now the heat look fucked up. When you tell Jimmy he's getting benched, you knew the reaction you'd get. They were just looking for an excuse to suspend him again. I don't think I've ever seen a player lose that much money in a season.
what's even more crazy is that he should be playing hard for his NEXT contract. That's how most star players get paid is inflate their season stats on their contract year, but of course Jimmy doesn't think that's good enough
What😳 So after quitting on the team... getting suspended twice! He supposed to just be put back in the starting five. I'm really really surprised that there's actually people who would think like that.
An indefinite suspension kinda does fix the problem though. W/ no viable trade options the Heat are better off just letting him sit his ass out and walk at the end of the season, that frees up 30M + cap space to sign someone who isnt old af and wants to play basketball.
I think the only owner dumb enough to extend him with the money he wants was the suns owner but Beal would need to be involved but now since the best chance to get rid of Beal is gone I don’t see any team giving Jimmy remotely close to what he wants
Butler is never been deep in the playoffs outside the Heat organization. He became max dollars because Pat and Spo put him to be in a position to look like a max player. He doesn't play enough games in the regular season. He wants max extension yet he doesn't want to play enough games. Let's be real ... players who are 35 and over worth max dollars are Curry, Lebron and KD... PG dont deserve it... kawhi wont get any max anymore... Harden..
Great job coach!!!!!! I love the way you called out the media. They all about bullshit. When you said let's talk about the next game they all left the room.
He doesn’t wanna play he doesn’t get paid. Throwing a tantrum didn’t go his way, good on the Heat for not being bullied by him. Hope it sends a message to other players in the league as well
Bro turned into the kind of person he used to hate.
Well said
This is pure drama but I got a admit this whole thing is getting uglier and uglier and Jimmy starting to act like a spoiled rich kid
He did this same crap with the Timberwolves and the Sixers. He is that person!

He signed that stupid contract no one wanted to because he wanted to win yet did they even try to win? Lol.
@@feer_the_deer9809what kind of question is that? 😂😂😂
Uhh thanks Shaq! Great Job! 👏🏽 You really showed good mentorship with great advice on this one! 🍻
I’m only half paying attention to this story, but c’mon on Jimmy. You’re too good to be messing around.
Jimmy Butler experiencing the career implosion of the year.
All I hear is speculation why don't you interview Jimmy Butler himself and find out what his side of the story is
💯
No need, just interview Shams. Jimmy’s agent using Shams as his reverse “beard”: whispering sweet nothings in his ear behind the scenes, then the agent denies Shams publicly.
Shams reporting for about a week how “Jimmy Butler tripled down” on trade request. Well here we have Riley’s triple down.
Right because I remember last season Jimmy commenting that as a competitor he believe the playoff series they lost wldve been different if his injury hadn't prevented him from playing... Pat Riley in live news conference said "Jimmy should keep his mouth shut etc" and I knew then something cld turn after that.
Acting immature when someone doesn't treat you how u feel u should be treated is what children do. Interview Jimmy Butler if you want a child's take on the whole thing.
Maybe there’s something we’re missing
Its time for Butler to consider retiring. His career is OVER.
Jimmy thinks he's got star power like lebron 😂
😂😂😂yep
How many times is this guy gonna say you know 😭
Timberwolves and Sixers Jimmy would hate 2025 Heat Jimmy.
Chicago too. Acted the same way at the end in all of them. He is looking for his 5th team and a sucker that will massage his gigantic ego 😀
pat riley is going to cause erik spolestra to want to leave the team unless this situation is put behind him.....this is frustrating when a head coach cannot focus on what he was brought to do...and that is coach basketball
Yep, because now Spo has to listen to his star player whining while the owner continues to alienate another star
Pat Riley should be a nba commisioner, no bs.
lol facts
I just 🙏 that he just gets it together.. I think that he will 🙏 is very powerful.
Isaiah Thomas is sounding like Shaq won’t speak up against players when they know the player is wrong.
Suspended indefinitely for conduct detrimental to the team measures no pay. Jimmy might as well retire. Same thing happens everywhere he goes.
Yikes. Jimmy gave up on the team (again) ???
Jimmy "Ben Simmons" Butler
If I were the owner, I would pay him to sit at home for two years. I'd take a massive loss, but I'd still be a billionaire, and it would feel great
Hes been deep in the playoffs while on sixers and on bulls.
Man it’s crazy Jimmy passion and energy in the playoffs is amazing but he’s changed now. He deserves to be on a better though but of course he’s making lots of money but I don’t blame him for wanting him to win
how the hell are you defending him
But he was complaining about not getting an extension on the team you’re calling losers..
He's not a superstar.
Can Jimmy just retire and then unretire and sign with someone as a free agent?
I love how Zeke didn't throw Jimmy under the bus. Very well explained!!
yeah because low-class knows low-class
I see a pattern with Jimmy. Every team he has left has been on bad terms, seems like Jimmy is the problem
Everyone’s hating on butler but forget how happy he was in Philly. Since 2020 he took the heat to the finals twice. Even beat the Celtics in an upset and took it the finals I’m sure Jimmy wouldn’t be acting like this if he wasn’t provoked in some type of way. Any team that picks him up is going to get immediately better.
Jimmy BUCKETS… of tears.
These comments I am here for it😂😂
I remember when Chicago fans warned T-Wolves fan base post-Jimmy Butler trade that he had gone ‘Hollywood’..
Here we are three more teams after he was drafted to Bulls in 2011, and he went from quiet humble hard worker to arrogant and entitled diva 😅😂
I disagree with Vince. The Heat should do it on their own terms not his. The whole league is watching. He needs to be used as an example
Vince knows what Butler feeling😂
So glad I drafted Butler and Embid both in my fantasy league 🤡 🔫
This is bullsht. Acting unprofessionally, and getting paid millions. playing basketball is NOT even a real job.
right it's not an essential job
What's so well run in the Miami Heat? Cut out the media narratives about "Heat Culture" and you have a mid team Jimmy carried to the finals, that's not only stagnated but gotten worse with no new additions and losing all their key role players. Jimmy set this team up for a potential championship run, but it's the Heat who aren't doing anything to build around Jimmy. He's tired after years of dedication without a single star brought in to play alongside him.
And now when it comes to extension talks, they're not even willing to give him one despite all that he's done for them.
Can't believe people be parroting the NBA media position on Jimmy.
True.
I know it's you, Jimmy😂
They already gave him a 3-year extension. He's bailing during the second year of that because they won't give him another one. You understand? He's already well-compensated for what he's done but now he hasn't done enough to get another extension.
@@chrischan6211 he wants to win a championship, while the Heat are content with being a mediocre team that won't go anywhere. Giving Tyler Herro that big contract while letting all the key role players leave all the while refusing to even compete for the top available talent to pair with Jimmy is criminal.
Jimmy deserves a true playoff team where he can have a serious run for a championship. He's that kind of a player.
He's not messing around right now because he's lazy or whatever, he's just lost respect for the organization that isn't serious about competing. I respect him even more for that.
Thank you Isaiah….for absolutely nothing
zeke looks like he had a stroke. his face moves weird
Bell's Palsy
Today players feels they're bigger than the league (NBA) which before was the opposite because i don't think players back then, never felt they were bigger & had respect for the league. But that's the league's own fault & now they're paying for it.
Now the heat look fucked up. When you tell Jimmy he's getting benched, you knew the reaction you'd get. They were just looking for an excuse to suspend him again. I don't think I've ever seen a player lose that much money in a season.
what's even more crazy is that he should be playing hard for his NEXT contract. That's how most star players get paid is inflate their season stats on their contract year, but of course Jimmy doesn't think that's good enough
Appeal..he gets it back
What😳 So after quitting on the team... getting suspended twice! He supposed to just be put back in the starting five. I'm really really surprised that there's actually people who would think like that.
Isaiah thomas talks with his hands and rambles.
Jimmy has only done this on every team he's been on.
How to erase a good career. -by Jimmy Butler.
Send em to a different league for someone else that wants to play in the NBA
An indefinite suspension kinda does fix the problem though. W/ no viable trade options the Heat are better off just letting him sit his ass out and walk at the end of the season, that frees up 30M + cap space to sign someone who isnt old af and wants to play basketball.
I think the only owner dumb enough to extend him with the money he wants was the suns owner but Beal would need to be involved but now since the best chance to get rid of Beal is gone I don’t see any team giving Jimmy remotely close to what he wants
He should just practice but just throw bricks up 😂
This was hilarious 😂😂😂😂
Butler is never been deep in the playoffs outside the Heat organization. He became max dollars because Pat and Spo put him to be in a position to look like a max player.
He doesn't play enough games in the regular season. He wants max extension yet he doesn't want to play enough games.
Let's be real ... players who are 35 and over worth max dollars are Curry, Lebron and KD...
PG dont deserve it... kawhi wont get any max anymore... Harden..
exactly this is what I keep trying to tell people
Great job coach!!!!!! I love the way you called out the media. They all about bullshit. When you said let's talk about the next game they all left the room.
He doesn’t wanna play he doesn’t get paid. Throwing a tantrum didn’t go his way, good on the Heat for not being bullied by him. Hope it sends a message to other players in the league as well
He’s only making 50 million a year
Butler this really how you want to be remembered dog?
Do media outlets not get press releases anymore, or does everything have to have defunct social media branding on it?
Same Jimmy, different team...Jimmy needs to check himself
Damn bro just play, there will come a time where you'll be too old to play anyway
Zeke, you're doing good. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
