The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

Sad but true

Assuming Jimmy doesn't return to this game ( they're down 15 with under 4 to go), Butler would have attempted 11 shots in 52 minutes of action in his 2 games back

Quitting on your 2nd team when you are about to be free agent turning 36 in September is just bad business

His agent can’t be happy

His agent can’t be happy

His entire approach to the season even prior to the trade stuff was weird. He was solid but I honestly thought if he really wanted that contract then I was expecting to see him play closer to playoffs Jimmy during the regular season. That is the easiest way to get that deal

Can't imagine it helps other teams be willing to give what the Heat are going to require in a trade.

When everyone from fans to beat guys are noticing it then its a bad look.

KD for Jimmy

Let's make it happen. KD is good friends with Bam and played with him on multiple olympic teams as well

 

[bksballer89]

I'm not a big +/- guy but sometimes it can tell the story

Jimmy Butler -27 tonight
Next lowest +/- guy was at -16

 

[bksballer89]

I do love that the Heat is playing Ware a lot. I thought they would keep his ass in the gleague most of the season. Kid is going to be really good and should start next to Bam by next season IMO

I’m not either but thats a pretty telling story

For anyone who cares but on the 2nd night of a B2B, Brooklyn is up 17 in Milwaukee late 3rd

The thing is Butlers regular season play gives no one incentive to be in a hurry right?

I assume he would play well on a new team because he is chasing a max deal

I just think he is limiting his options tremendously over what appears to be a pissing match.

Will the Thunder ever lose another game?

Will the Thunder ever lose another game?

Yeah tomorrow night actually

 

[thunderc]

Yeah tomorrow night actually

Definitely possible

 

[bksballer89]

Definitely possible

They have a crazy tough stretch that started tonight but Harden being out pushed back start date to tomorrow. 6 of their next 7 are very tough games. I think they drop 2
