The Miami Heat Have A Jimmy Butler PROBLEM

The Miami Heat Have A Jimmy Butler PROBLEM

[Music] we might have a Jimmy Butler problem on our hands Heat fans Yes you heard that correctly I might be flipping my stance on the heat Allstar caliber player I am Nick Roff this is the heat report by Chad Sports I’ll explain what I mean in a moment but before we get into that I want to set a record the most likes we have ever had on a heat show 650 likes can we top that today if you want to be a part of History this is your chance here at the heat report hit that thumbs up icon all right we might have a Jimmy Butler problem if you’re wondering where this is all stemming from if you go back to the beginning of this NBA off season there was some rumors out there of the heat could trade Jimmy Butler well if you don’t remember Butler is entering the final guaranteed year of his contract cuz next season is a player option worth $52 million that Butler is likely going to opt out of because he is already stated that he is not going to sign an extension anymore this off season and will opt out and seek a super Max from hopefully Miami or a different team in the off season and that’s kind of the issue here because if Jimmy Butler has no plans to extend with Miami this offseason or maybe during the regular season and the heat which is being reported do not have any plans to extend him either as they were non-committal he is eligible to sign now he was eligible starting July 7th but obviously has not happened as of yet and doesn’t seem likely to happen you have to ask yourself is Jimmy Butler going to leave the Miami Heat after this season that’s where we get into our question of do we have a Jimmy Butler problem because unless Miami goes out and acquires one of these three players which we’ve talked about in depth here about targeting these three guys potentially to add to this roster Lori Markin is the perfect four next to Jimmy and Bam and he’s got a cheap contract this year Trey Young’s that point guard that could really Elevate potentially bamama AO and kle wear in pick and rolles and then Brandon Ingram is someone that is my third option in all likelihood but could be a nice addition as he is a consistent 20 point per game scorer and a much fluid isolation guy instead of like a Tyler hero or some sorts and he also provides a little bit of Leng my question is if the heat have no plans to upgrade the roster around Jimmy Butler I think you should trade Jimmy and it pains me to say that because I have been very committed to Butler but he is a free agent next season assuming he Ops out he is going to want a super Max and he would leave Miami if you’re not willing to give it to him so if you’re not going to commit to Jimmy and Bam and go out and get a third guy like a Trey like a Lori like a Brandon Ingram to me you have to trade Jimmy Butler because I am not in the business of letting really really good players leave my team for absolutely nothing in return it’s a shame but it’s where I am with Jimmy Butler let me know where you are at with Jimmy Butler and be honest with me don’t lie I know some of you in the past have said to trade Jimmy Butler but let me know your thoughts type t for trade or type K for keep when it comes to Jimmy Butler I’ve shown this tweet a couple times and I want to hammer this home again maybe this the last time I show this tweet um maybe not because you know I like to plug my own Twitter so go give me a follow if you haven’t already I talk about the heat every day um but I said before Don Mitchell extended you see the date on July 1st if the heat don’t make a move for one of Donovan Mitchell Lori Markin Trey young or Brandon Ingram I think it’s time to trade Jimmy I don’t want to but running it back which it seems the likely plan right now when the East got better is male practice and I want to trade Jimmy to get assets to build towards the future and when we talk about potentially running it back the Heat’s roster is currently full what does that mean well it means they’re can’t add anyone in free agency which means the only way they upgrade this team is in the trade market and if they’re not making a trade then this is your team and you’re just running it back like sure I’ve kind of talked myself into this team being interesting not going to say fun not going to say contending but when you look at the squad like it does have good pieces you have two decent scorers in the back court you have Jimmy and Bam and your bench is okay right you’re assuming you get a third year leap from Nicole yich you’re assuming you get a big jump in year two for haime hawz Jr you bring in kle wear a healthy Duncan Robinson High Smith coming back Jay Rich is back like you have pieces to make it at least interesting but I am not sold on this team winning an NBA championship and that is the question right if you look at your roster you look at your team you look at the Eastern Conference and the NBA as a whole does my team have the capability to win an NBA championship if your answer is no why wouldn’t you trade Jimmy Butler and build towards the future and that’s my one concern is that when I look at the Heat roster I think they can be good and I’ll tell you what my prediction and my expectations for the season is going to be at the end of today’s show so stick around but I don’t think it’s going to be an NBA title team so why wouldn’t you trade Jimmy if the opportunity is there to cash in on your star player get Assets in return so you can reload this team post Jimmy Butler around bab bio I’ll say this we’ll have you covered on everything surrounding the Miami Heat whether it be an actual trade for agency it doesn’t matter make sure you subscribe for daily heat content as we get closer and closer to 13k subscribers and we are actually going to be live later tonight yes you heard that correctly we did watch parties for the entire regular season postseason for the Miami Heat and we’re going to start them up in summer league I believe you’re the first chat sports channel in the NBA to do summer league watch parties I think so in history so come join us for heat vers Lakers Cal Weare Ronnie James should be a ton of fun all right this is why I’m going to trade Jimmy Butler because I’m not in the business of losing elite players for nothing I’m not so ship them out regroup for a year and get back in the race this summer because if if you were to trade Jimmy Butler one you’d clear a lot of cap space in all likelihood is you’re not going to probably take the full 45 $50 million back which is Butler’s contract in one single trade and if you do maybe you get some expiring to where you could have some space in the next offseason to make moves on free agents or take money back in a trade and if you traded Jimmy Butler you’d likely get at least some young players in draft Capital which would allow you to go out and potentially trade for the next disgruntled star or young player to request out of their respective team to join bam at a bio like sure do I think Bam could be a number one option at title team probably not can he be a 2B he can and if he improves his offensive game that’s where I think he is really going to explode now when you think of where Jimmy could be traded I think these two teams make the most sense the Houston Rockets who have been rumored to want a wing in the trade market Jimmy Butler’s been named before it’s also where Jimmy’s from the city of Houston and the Golden State War Warriors who are desperate to find that second guy that co-star to Steph Curry so they don’t waste Steph’s remaining three or four seasons where he’s actually going to be a top 10 basketball player in the league and if they miss out on Lori Markin I think the Warriors make the most sense to get Jimmy you get a wing there who can play two-way and you get step Steph and Jimmy would be a very fun Duo you can kind of hold them hostage if you will and maybe this isn’t the best term to use for it but that’s kind of how I see it like if both Houston and Golden State are desperate or really are going after the service of Jimmy Butler then you can drive up that price point and get even more back in return even if it’s an extra first round pick or a couple extra second round picks more than you usually would get it’s still more than what you would have had if you weren’t driving up the price point and to me I will say this though and even though we’re talking about a potential Jimmy Butler trade sure this off season could happen I give it a very unlikely chance because to me if a Jimmy Butler trade does actually happen it would likely be in February at the NBA trade deadline and this is where I think Pat Riley will really have to evaluate this Heat team and how they’re performing in a regular season because if they’re sitting around 500 or below 500 and I don’t care if you’re going to blame injuries like if bam goes down if hero goes down if Rosier goes on if any of your key players get hurt for an extended period of time in your 500 team I don’t want to hear oh just wait till we get healthy cuz it’s been that way for the past three seasons if you are not probably the six seed or better which is kind of where I think this is going if you are not firmly outside of the playin by the time the NBA trade deadline rolls around and you’re sitting at a 500 or below 500 record that’s when you need to strike when the iron’s hot and trade Jimmy Butler teams will be seeking another guy there’s going to be a team out there that overachieves that says hey maybe if we make one more move we can really reach that next stepping stone and be an NBA championship Contender and they look at Jimmy Butler as that missing piece so you have to have a good regular season specifically in the first three or four months of the year in order for the heat not to consider trading Jimmy Butler at the trade deadline which brings me to this question and I said this in the middle of today’s show that I’ll give you my expectations at the end mine are coming up in a second but let me know your expectations for the Heat this season you could give record you could give what you’re watching for or you can give me what their seed predictions going to be you just let me know in the comment section My Hope SL expectations for this season is I’m going to be watching the development of nicoa yovic and Hae hakas I am going to hope they take a step forward and they showcase the ability to be highlevel role players or even give me a little bit of Allstar potential that could build around bam we talked about hero being a 20 point per game scorer and an All-Star caliber player three or four seasons ago that’s no longer the case in terms of All-Star ability but maybe hakz and yic can develop into something like that I’m watching their development this year another key watching point for this team is going to be how kle wear the rookie out of Indiana faes in his rookie season does he have the capability to be the starting center of the future of the Miami Heat and move bam out of Bio to four and can you create a disgusting tandom in the front Court both defensively and offensively in terms of finishing around the rim and spacing the floor those are the three players I’m watching the most this season and honestly give me the most excitement for this upcoming year but other than those three young guys my expectation and my hope my best case scenario if you will is the sixth seed or the fifth seed because I am not in the business of being a playin team again I’m sick and tired of being in the playin it also would benefit Miami greatly to get the fist seed potentially because if the Eastern Conference goes how we expect it to go and it’s the Celtics Sixers and Knicks in some combination of the top three I’d rather face two of them on my path to the NBA finals rather than all three and if you’re the six seed you might have to play Knicks Sixers Celtics in succession but if you could be the five seed you play the Bucks Cavs magic and or Pacers in the four five game have to play Boston and then one of next Sixers so to me you have to get the fifth seed if you have any chance this year I just don’t know if they’re going to be able to do it that’s going to do it for today’s video you want to yell at me about my thoughts on J or the heat or your expectations on the Miami Heat my Twitter is the best place to do it I tweet about the heat on a daily basis so go give me a follow I’m a great follow for Heat fans out there nickwolf the handle and hopefully I see you later tonight for a heat watch party against the Lakers [Music]

Jimmy Butler trade rumors have quieted down but Heat Report host Nic Rohloff still thinks the Heat have a Jimmy Butler problem! Jimmy Butler’s contract has two years remaining but the final year is a player option.

Nic believes that Miami, under any circumstance, can let Jimmy Butler leave in 2025 NBA Free Agency for nothing in return.
