  1. “Because he’s my friend” is the real rationale. Jimmy’s up and down and has missed way too many games to remotely be considered for all NBA. Come on JJ.

  2. Making money is an action. Keeping money is a behavior, but "Growing money is wisdom" I figured this out a week ago✅

  3. Heat need a complete makeover. The run is over. The ones who made it heat culture are going to/should retire. Trade everybody for a budding star like Shai

  4. As a Celtics fan, very few players in the East scare me late in a close game as much as Jimmy Butler does.

  5. Jimmy 23 ppg 6 rpg 5 apg with the 7th seed. No. There are way more deserving, winning players than Jimmy.

  6. Imo the Heat would be an ideal landing spot for both parties. Really don’t see much downside

  7. As a heat fan, I would say the reason they've struggled is yes the 3 point shooting is down which is a big part of it. I also think defensively they can't compete because they went too small with Caleb Martin being the 4. I like Caleb Martin a lot but he is more of a 2 or a 3 and they are abused on the offensive glass and in the paint. Thats the reason if they don't score 110+ points they usually lose when typically the Heat are a very good defensive team. You can't have Herro, Martin, Lowry or Vincent, Bam, and Butler as a starting 5. It's just too small a lineup, especially when Herro is consistently getting abused down low.

  8. As a Heat fan, I watch Jimmy fill 25+ pts a game, most games, carrying the Heat more nites-and in crunch time in particular. Obviously, I'm a big fan. but for him to be an all star you have to get rid of an all star. And, I am not sure-with the Heat's performance this year (although 3 pt shooting is to blame more than anything, especially vs last year) that including Butler is really valid.

  9. I appreciate the push for Jimmy but no. It’s too crowded and other players are more deserving, imo

  10. Based on BR
    1st: Jokic, Giannis, Tatum, Steph, Luka
    2nd: Embid, Kawhi, Butler*, Shai, Dame
    3rd: Dayvis, Lauri, KD, Fox, Mitchell

    Seems like some media sites agrees.

  11. What’s even more crazy is that jimmy has been playing with the gas off the petal to be ready for the post season, he’s now starting to play forreal 😂 the heat underachieving is because of the front office, they have not done anything to make up for losing PJ tucker
