Jimmy saw the Wade statue and said, "Hell nahhhh".
😂😂😂😂
You funny😂
trueeeee 🤣🤣
😂
😭👏👏
CB is speaking facts…. I like Jimmy, but not at 65M at 38 yrs old.
He's 35, but in basketball years along with injuries, the way he plays the game, etc etc etc Jimmy's best day's are probably just about over...
@@Nathaniel-Sr U slow jimmy want 3 year contract to he 38 and he make 60 million 🚨 that to much he ain't bron or kd
Exactly jimmy crazy. Plus he misses alot games
That money is not a contract for Butler to play it is a padding for his retirement fund.😂😂
Charles never said he didn't deserve it
“I would have a conversation with him”
Nice way to say no on national TV
That is not a no. Not an outright rejection. It is open for negotiation. Riley might be open to something close to it.
@Better_Call_Raul if there wasn't that long awkward pause before he answered I would agree
He is not Kevin Durant, Steph Curry or Lebron James. He will get his wish and Pat Riley will trade him. Its the right thing to do. I totally agree with Chuck
What does him being another. Man have to do with respect for yourself it’s because he knows he’s not him that he would react like this he will move on before they do him too dirty
He’s been further the KD been for the last 5 years and he has way less talent around him
LeBron never forced a trade tho. He was a free agent each time he left. He finishes the contract like an adult and a professional.
Jimmy butler got the heat to the finals twice in 5 years, you gon also say hes not Michael Jordan as well but that doesn’t have anything to do with who he has been for the heat and that’s the best player for the heat and the heat has not given him a better option at all in the past 5 years
@@leandrogajo2876 oh Riley will not fold. He going to play that hand to the end.
If we’re being honest pat riley wasted Jimmy’s prime he needed a second reliable shot creator in the post season and pat never got him one
The reason he COULDN'T get him one was because they were overpaying several of their players. So they didn't have enough money. Bam, Herro, Robinson, Lowry, Whiteside, the Johnson brothers, etc. all are/were overpayed. If you continue to overpay for above-average players, you're going to get below-average results. The fact that Miami went to two Finals sibce 2020 with these guys is a miracle. Jimmy was a GREAT player who is just good now. And he is always injured or sitting out. And his EGO sometimes makes him make the dumb play on the court. Two years ago, the Heat would have beaten the Celtics and gone to the Finals if he had just gone to the rim with 19 seconds left instead of pulling up for a three-pointer. That was inexcusable. You can't give him what he wants because you will just continue the vicious cycle.
@@johncalvo1743nah the team was good enough to get lucky and get to the finals. They were never gunna win it all with that lineup. They are like a worse version of the championship Raptors team except they are overall a bit worse and no star player on kahwis level.
@@johncalvo1743THIS
@@johncalvo1743 you guys can’t draft. Jimmy was out last playoffs, you scored 87 points in a playoff game. Then drafted a defensive center. Jimmy sick of piggybacking the Heat. Just like Bron
No but he made about 120 million, that should more than make up for not having another shooter..or maybe that is why he never got one, no money left to pay one.
I have a message for Jimmy Butler "The grass is not always greener on the other side" ....I doubt any team will give a injury prone 36 year old a max extension
36 yr old diva at that.
That’s not the point. Pat Riley disrespected jimmy . Jimmy says he rather play with the wizards on a minimum veteran than max with the heat .
@ jimmy is just cry baby that’s all there is to it. Boohoo someone didn’t “respect” you. Maybe it’s because pat Riley knows more about basketball than jimmy and could teach him a thing or two about winning and not being a crybaby. He complained about Wiggins/cat being soft yet is pulling the ultimate softy move
Ummm Paul George got a max
Trust me a team will pay him.. he is worth it
This is all on Pat Riley. Jimmy has done everything he was supposed to do and even got so close to winning a ring. That Finals run showed just how elite he is, but the Heat never made a serious effort to pair him with another star. Instead, they’ve settled for aging players past their prime. Honestly, the Heat have been operating on a bargain mentality ever since the LeBron era and Jimmy is the only one that kept them relevant.
@@CedAdjGreat. Jimmy did his job. But correct me if I'm wrong, Pat has been behind the scenes in all of the Heat's major runs. Before and after Jimmy. Jimmy on the other hand hasn't done anything substantial as a captain pre-Miami. The facts speak for themselves.
Pat Riley did his job too 😂 what cause we didn't trade for Kevin Durant we didn't form a cohesive, productive supporting case around him? You don't need multiple All-Teamers on a team to do your job as a GM.
Jimmy had plenty of opportunities to carry many other more stacked teams to the Finals but it only happened with the Heat. Twice. When he was on the bad side of 30 btw. Because team building is way, way more than how many all-stars you have at once.
This isn't about not getting a ring or money or disrespect or Pat Riley. Jimmy doesn't want to take a lesser role, he's plainly said as much last night. He wants to have the ball in his hands and nowadays the ball is better in Herro's hands. That's the rub, cut and dry.
@@x-man9473 you right about Pat. I’m giving him his flowers for bringing Shaq and other key players for that chip run they had in 06, same with going all in on the big 3 with LeBron and Bosh. But after that, he’s been going cheap bringing players past their primes like Iguodala, Kevin Love, Kyle Lowry etc. He even tried to revive Victor Oladipo’s career for 2 seasons straight knowing his history with major injuries. So let’s been real here. Jimmy carried them to the finals twice with a mediocre roster and he’s been asked to do way too much. D-Wade himself couldn’t carry the Heat to the finals until Shaq and LeBron got there. So what do you want Jimmy to do? On top of that they overpaid for Bam. That guy is solid but he’s not a franchise player and he will never carry that franchise especially after Jimmy leaves….
@FreddyK-o5i @ your comment is embarrassing my friend and you clearly don’t watch ball at all. Jimmy has been balling since he arrived in Miami, and taking the Heat to the Finals twice with virtually no real supporting cast is exactly why he deserves to get paid. Let’s be real-the Heat have been cheap since going all in on the big 3 with LeBron and Bosh. They were relying on old players past their primes or injury-prone veterans to pair with him like I mentioned. They’ve never made a serious push for a true star-caliber player to complement him. And don’t even bring up Bam-he’s solid, but nowhere near amazing enough to justify the money they gave him. Bam isn’t going to be the one carrying the Heat to the Finals once Jimmy is gone.
@ first of all, you are in my comment section my friend 😂 … second of all, the Heat overachieved because of hard work and passion based on what they call “Heat Culture”. But Jimmy was the one carrying that team to the top and we all know it. Pat has been riding off this man’s back all these years for cheap and bro he’s done with it. Deal with it 😂
Himmy Butler CARRIED this sorry ass Miami team to 2 finals and a ECF. Be dropped what 56 against giannis and Jrue then 41 again, had a better 40 point triple in the finals vs Lebron, etc...the Front Office failed him. They should honor his request to a contender.
And that’s not even the least Pat could do but dude is so fucking Petty and he been carrying those petty ways since the 80s
Lol no one's forcing him to stay, if he wants to leave we DONT WANT HIM here. The problem with the trade is he's an injury prone 35 year old making big money, vet few teams in the league want him. If he was serious about going to a contender he'd take a pay cut, so he ends up where he ends up.
@@fjandinner3532 and when he leaves watch how far we go pat riley not bringing nobody to the damn team to help him without jimmy we wouldnt have got to them finals that we did get this isnt the answer
Butler shrinks in the spot lot when it counts. He has blow up games here and there but dude is nOT consistent. And he is older and injured all the time. Overrated.
@@fjandinner3532you sound dumb
Sorry Jimmy but you're not max money. And if you think the Heat are going to give you a max based on "loyalty" you are 100% wrong. Pat is a businessman and giving you max money is bad business. He will happily trade you as you requested out of respect.
Jimmy Butler is only loyal to Jimmy Butler. Period.
You're comment was spot on!
At the end of the day, professional sports is a Business!
Jimmy is NOT in his prime anymore.
Traditionally the fall-off with athletes happens quickly once it begins.
Just ask Shaq and Charles.
The athleticism just isn't the same anymore, and once it slides, it continues to very quickly.
Pat Riley isn't going to pay a aging player all that money.
He's got to keep looking to the future of the team.
All athletes go through this.
Deep down, they know that they are not the player they once was, and they are trying to get the bag! before they really fall off and it is blatantly obvious.
Like LeBalco is trash now at 41.
Pat Riley has been doing this long enough to know how this goes.
Jimmy KNOWS that Pat won't cave in, so...
He's going public with it in hopes that some other teams will be foolish enough to still pay him what the Heat won't.
@@Chris-xd7rqPat Riley is only loyal to Pat Riley. What is your point?
@@thatfatguy7591 so much for loyalty
Old heads asking for "loyalty" from players need be entered into a home. They're deranged. There's no place for loyalty here , NBA is cut throat business. Old players only stayed because of the power dynamics back then. These teams trade players mid game like their commodities, but we expect a player to be loyal? Always look out for yourself. As much as the fans hate it, LeBron leaving was great for the players. It shifted more of the power towards the players, which is only right. This league would be hot garbage without the players. It is up to the teams to make players loyal whether thru compensation or culture.
Lets be real jimmy not worth the max
Someone owes Shams and apology 😂
Shams a SHAM.
"We can't pay you for what you used to be"
-Smart Gm's ...probably
This is what is wrong with the NBA, all these above average players demanding and getting Max deals.
They are greedy as shit
2 NBA finals appearances
Jimmy is more than above average. He does only average 18 ppg with 6 rebounds,5 assists. He shoots 55 percent and 39 percent from 3 for three straight years... All while being a great on ball defender. He is getting older though
Jimmy brings this trash heat into two final, he is not just above, who can bring a trash team into final alone? Bill? Thomson ?KD?
PJ?
I always liked how the lakers gave kobe an extension at the end
kobe was Blk Mamba
@@rockstarkooler 🐐
Kobe was the lakers.
It didn’t result in a championship
Fuck that bro. We were finishing seasons 40 games under .500 after they did that
It’s basically Jimmy saying bam can’t carry. Like he did in Minnesota with KAT. And he isn’t lying. Bam isn’t taking the team anywhere
Bam has been so terrible all season. He literally regressed. Youre not winning a chip with Bam as your number 2. Bro dissappeared in 2023 and 2022 when they needed him in the playoffs and he somehow got even worse.
Bam was anointed a legend the minute he got drafted. Maybe this might help him become the player he thinks he is but he chokes in every big game. No confidence
Jimmy been crying on every team lol
When things go bad Jimmy makes excuses wherever he goes
3rd plug he running off on.
It’s always everyone else’s fault and NBA fans and media defend this toxic POS.😊
He still better than half the nba
@@ScanlessTV6 nah overrated
Jimmy needs to go to the Houston Rockets
As a rockets fan no I’m good he old and we have a great young roster that is probably a contender 3rd in the west
@@STEFON234Contender? 🤣🤣. Jimmy better than any of your players. Youre just being carried by Udokas good coaching
Old old old naw😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thats how i know you a fake basketball fan.even a little baby can see the rockets are contenders this yr.3rd in the west.1 game back of 2.😂😂😂😂@BLACKSTA361
Fake nba fan@BLACKSTA361
That's why when they during the prime if their greatness for the team, they need to maximize their contract negotiating, both amount and length, as much as possible
everyone acting like Jimmy was some hot product before going to Miami. He had ran off on two plugs already now this makes 3. That boy out here cooking like Harden......
THIS. Perfect analogy!
Unlike harden he's carried every single team, and gotten lil assets ... And played with players that wasn't hungry
I just fast forward through whatever Kenny Smith says these days. Barkley is 100% right.
4:22 problem is that Pat isn’t brining in that help now
With hindsight, LeBron leaving back in 2014 seems like the right choice.
Charles nailed it. 💯
Jimmy about to play for every team in the league 😂😂
Like shaq but difference is Jimmy can’t win a ring no 😂
Miami Heat fans are disgusting. Dude wore a Hero cape all these years for this team, putting the entire team on his back, some of the greatest triple doubles in finals history with two of his best players out, then takes an 8th seed of undrafted rookies and a Bam who can’t even score 15pts a game, no other stats, Herro hurt, to the finals again. Injured himself twice in that playoff run.
Y’all are so hateful of this dude instead of being angry at the real problem which is Riley, who refuses to add another real star for Miami. No one wins a chip without atleast 2 consistent stars, Jimmy never had any consistent help at all this entire time.
If I’m Jimmy, knowing what I’ve done single handedly for this team, I’d want my money too. And then, seeing how the fans are acting, I’d want out as well. Why play for such an ungrateful organization? They don’t give a crap about him. Y’all don’t care about what he’s done
all of us are angry at pat
What do the fans have to do with it 😂
Thing is, HE GOT PAID TO DO ALL THAT AND HASNT DONE ANYTHING SINCE ... He didn't do that shit. FOR FREE, HE GOT A SALARY! A GOOD SALARY, but he is AGING, he could NEVER EVER do that again. And they STILL... DIDNT... WIN
Pat Riley is NOT the PROBLEM, Jimmy is!
How on earth, is Pat supposed to get another star if this man REFUSES to take a pay cut in order to have a real chance of WINNING a CHAMPIONSHIP!
I FINALLY opened my eyes a few seasons ago and came to the realization that Jimmy didn’t CARE if he won a championship or NOT, just as long as he made a truck load of MONEY he was SATISFIED!
And his actions PROVED that he was COMFORTABLE barely putting forth the effort during the regular season, then suddenly, turning into SUPERMAN during the PLAYOFFS!
@@GeminiJets22We ALL aren’t angry at Pat!
This MESS is ALL Jimmy’s FAULT!
Don’t play with jimmy that boy gonna have a new team and new wig😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Shaq talks some absolute rubbish sometimes
Shaq speaks from experience
Yeah man. Just because bums are getting paid doesn't mean the Heat should over pay in extending Butler.
Kenny the one talking rubbish. Dude throws in Miami taxes out of nowhere 🤣🤣
chuck always makes me laugh. he's so brutaly honest
Let him trade he’s 35 years old ….there’s so many young prospects basketball players out there ….
The greed in sports has kept me from attending any games. I refuse to contribute a dime to their salaries.
It's getting absolutely comical to support the NBA at this point.
Don't worry, man. I'm sure the NBA will be fine even without your financial aid 🤣🤣
A trade to Boston? That would be cold blooded man.
Boston don’t want him
@@jpnoyHe doesn't want Boston.
His ass always hurt
Or he just pretending to be hurt 😂
butler in orlando next year would be a scary squad jimmy, poalo, and franz wagner
Plain and simple! Trade him to a team with a losing record! ☝🏻☝🏼☝️☝🏿☝🏽☝🏾 It comes down to ego... He's made 300 plus million plus his endorsements. Play out your contract and retire...👏🏽👏🏾👏🏼👏🏻👏
I’m a fan who doesn’t want to negotiate player contracts, thank you.
0:46 reminded me of Seinfeld 😂😂😂😂 iykyk
“Jimmy holds grudges!”
One of the biggest issues has been the teams contract management, there’s been some bogus contracts over the last few years. Robinson’s 100 mil for example, we could have gotten him for less and another star probably too. We didn’t have the right pieces when jimmy was in his better years with the heat but at the same time he’s injury prone and plays half assed most of the time now with pathetic numbers for someone of his caliber.
Is not about the money. It's about the statue. Jimmy doesn't want the Statue 🗽🗿
Jimmy is toxic wherever he goes. Please stay away from Boston
Thank God we are too broke to even think bout paying him at all
Jimmy Butler $48M to Detroit for
Tobias Harris $25M and Isaiah Stewart $15M
Pat gon send that boy to Toronto or Detroit
2 finals appearances not bad
Send him to the Pistons at this point.
That's crazy money, but then again, NBA teams only have 5 starters and 9 total. It is a bit more difficult to be a starter in the NBA than the NFL.
No one wants to give up future first round picks and a ton of money to a 35 year old with 0 championships... shocker
The warriors need him
You’re not a Warrior fan to be wanting his service
@@jpnoy why not
You can’t blame jimmy butler or his agent for wanting an extension, everyone wants the best deal you can get when you are negotiating, so you start High.
Come to San Antonio!
Wemby, CP3, Jimmy. Big 3!
Pop like ok Jimmy I really need you to play defense and hit corner threes
You crazy lmaoo
@@rhodeisland92lmfaooo
Oh they are already big, with that big ol women
@@daboycarswell I prefer to call myself a dreamer.
He's great but i wouldn't pay a 35 year old that type of money
Good thing he is 38 then.
Jimmy's days or his best days are just about over at this point
This dude gets suspended longer than Draymond. What a joke
Bam, Herro, Robinson, Lowry, Whiteside, the Johnson brothers, etc. all are/were overpayed. If you continue to overpay for above-average players, you're going to get below-average results.

Wait, i thot he was him and was like MJ, old school tough. Where's "loyalty", lol ? Come one now man, forcing a trade? Say what you will about LeBron's team hopping but he was a professional. He always finishes his contracts. You shook on the deal, finish it.
Shaq never keep it real he always bending the truth or going around the facts
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Riley should have know after telling the man to shut his mouth Jimmy would want out sooner or later.
Butler & Grady Dick are going to make a great duo.
They will trade him to some terrible team like Charlotte. He won’t come close to a playoff team.
The policeman, fire fighter and teacher bleeds for him. Sad 😔
Jimmy is in the final year of his contract, and now that he's suspended he stands to lose about $3 million. Poor guy, I can understand why making only $64 million this year would make you not want to play.
lakers are open just sayin
DUDES IN THE 2nd SEASON OF A $146 MUH-MUH-MILLION DOLLAR contract. WTF....What friggin planet is this? If the world was halfway sane, Butler's rep would be destroyed & he'd be out of the league forever because no other team would pick him up. The level of arrogance, narcissism, entitlement & selfishness to roll over on your team is bad enough, to lay down on the job or even get an attitude about a dimished role when you're being paid $49 MILLION a year is beyond mind blowing. This man does not deserve a single fan.
I been waiting for him to leave when he missed that 3pointer when we could of gone into overtime
This is similar to the Paul George situation with the Clippers
Only difference paul George never did anything for the clippers. Jimmy did for the heat
@ that's facts I agree with that. I find it crazy tho that they paid Kawhi and he's never on the floor lol
He let the great Dwayne wade go!
shaq got burn by chuck hahaha
Laker spot just opened up 😂
Lebron left the heat and has stunk ever since
Portland
A trade that would work out: Grizzlies trade for Butler
The 3 players mentioned add up to 33.4M (Smart, Kennard, Aldama) and Jimmy is at 48.7M.
Are you gonna trade Brandon Clark? I believe Miami would like him.
Or if you add John Konchar you can keep Brandon Clark and Desman Bane and still get Jimmy and give up like 1 or 2 1RPs and some seconds to complete the trade done.
How many teams has he forced his way off of now? He’s getting ready to become the Antonio Brown of the NBA and be forced to sign league minimum deals.
I count 3
We have Ron Artest 2006 all over again.
1:18 huh? Rudy gobert just as one example. Contracts are not off limit to shaq
3:29 shaq was right
What's going on here is the classic employee/management dynamic. Employees are always emotion based; management by nature cannot be emotional. Its a business and the Heat are making business decisions
No one is in the wrong here. If i understand it correctly, Jimmy waited either for help in summer and winter trades, which he didn't get, or an extension +money, which the Heat also can't give him. Pat is right, Jimmy is right. WHAT TF are we disccusing here?!?
I called this after Pat Riley wanted to tell him to shut up.
Interesting listening to sir Charles break things down...he's not a joker all the time 😊....too bad Shaq isn't as into it....he just won't take a side.. which is what you want from this show...
At least Barkley has a backbone
Shaq sounds like he got his head in a toilet lol😂
Please come to Dallas
shaq so modest. last of the breed to take less money for better team
Since Butler got there he lead MIA to 3 ECF & 2 Finals in return MIA gave him Rozier lol.
Ephesians 4:28
“Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.”
King James Version (KJV)
If a bum is getting 30 I want 100😂😂😂😂
You can want out, but there's a way to go about it, and Butler is not doing that. He's quitting. I'm glad the front office suspended him. You don't appreciate your situation? There's the bench.
Beal for butler
if a bum makes 30 i want 100 🤣🤣🤣
Jimmy Butler is saying, why won't the Heat make things easy like teams have done for LeBlame James. Look at what I have gave the team with limited resources and you not spending money in free agency
Pat messed up with D wade .. but butler is NOT Dwade . Jimmy gave us 0 rings wade gave us 3 rings and he gave us so many paycuts…. And we let him go why overpay butler when he averages 18 PPG and barely plays buddy acting like Kwaiah
Pat Riley ain't mess up DWade or butler he's not wasting his bread on last prime players
pat got dwade Shaq.
pat got Jimmy....... I'll wait
D wade wins with SHAQ then with Lebron. BRO
Shaq average 12.7 points that series it was Dwyane Wade average 34.7 points per game and carried them.
@@mikeTHEmanateeand a prime haslem at that
I guess sources are right after all.
Why would anyone pay Jimmy that much money when there is literally an example of Paul George where overpaying an all-star with injury history could lead you to. Same thing with Clippers expecting Kawhi to be healthy every season, same thing with Phoenix Suns who are hoping Beal could have a healthy season. Miami Heat ship has sailed. They had a lucky playoff run in 2023 and that's it. They are not coming back to that type of success for a while. Boston traded away no good Grant Williams and Marcus Smart and got way better, Cleveland got way better, Knicks got better, even Bucks or healthy Orland would beat Miami. It's over. Trade him and start rebuilding your squad.
Jimmy call the local uhaul truck and leave town ASAP.
Sad. To me, he's synonymous with Miami.
Yes but you’re ignorant & experienced.
Perhaps the Jets trade for him😂 😂😂😂
Shaq is correct
Usage is down because miami is auditioning the players they will trade to get more help.
That’s why nba is unwatchable
We're past the "it's all about winning a championship". Wasted 2 years on that phrase and got no help so with that said; I'm pretty sure it's about the money now and Jimmy Butler deserves every penny he's asking for. The Miami Heat was a miracle team with Jimmy Butler on it and they did not capitalize on that.
Pat Riley should go!!! Pay that man.
Spo is killing this team. This team will never be relevant if you trade him.
Dont be dumb. We say the same of OKC and the Rockets when Durant/Westbrook left and Harden left etc, and there are so many other examples, as long as u operate well and get good picks and etc, u will have a chance to rise back up again. Same with Cavaliers as well. They have always been bottom dwellers but just adding a free agent in Mitchell and then some great young players with potential doing well, and they on the way up
Don't bring him to the OKC Thunder. We don't want him here at all.
Why do billionaires still tryna save money like their not rich with their poor mentality!
A mature person would ask to be traded, then play his ass off to show teams what they could have. Instead, just like he did in Minny, Butler cries and refuses to play. He’s got talent but he’s a cancer. Only knows hero ball, can’t play in an offense.
