Good luck to whomever trades for Jimmy Butler. What a clown..

It looks like it might be the Suns. I wouldn't want to be in the Jimmy Butler business if I were most teams, but 1) the Bradley Beal situation feels worse, and I think we'd offload him in the deal, and 2) the Butler experience starts off great everywhere.

The real concern is can he grind anymore at his age and condition? Because that's what made him great.

Jimmy needs to get back on his meds. Walked out of practice after being told he doesn't start from now on. What a cry baby>.

The case for Jimmy is that he gives everything to the Heat on the court, carried them to a finals, and Pat Riley little brothers him through the media multiple times the last 2 years.

Nobody can excuse Jimmy's tactics, but if I'm a Heat fan I'm more mad at Riley. He knew who Jimmy was. He poked the bear because he's too strong-headed/out of touch/old school/whatever you want to call it. Then they continue to play hardball with Jimmy. It was always going to continue this way if they chose that route. Now they've got an upset superstar with a big contract and rock bottom trade value. They're ****ed. If Jimmy does get traded, it means the team he's going to gave up a lot less than they would have 1 year ago, so good for him. It's a Miami self-own.

I’m shocked Russillo loves him so much. He usually hates scorers that haven’t won anything. I thought they way underrated Garland. And Mobley above Cade had me incensed on Bill’s end

Russillo isn't really a titles guy. His favorite player is Ant. All-time favorites are CP3 and Barkley.

IDK what's not to love. He's good at everything and tries hard. Best player on a finals team* and in the Olympics he was amazing.

Suns are wasting him.

*Not very many guys in the league who can claim this and are still in their prime...Tatum, Giannis, Jokic, and Luka. That's it.

it’s really fun during the podcast when Bill was like “you know it’s not KD’s fault it’s a bad organization” and I’m like “No, it actually is! It’s been downhill since he got there!”

The Amen ranking was outrageous even though I like him. I thought he was too high on rim running defensive centers overall on the list. I like Jarrett Allen but ain’t no ****ing way I would prefer him over Murray even if Murray is overpaid.
