The Official NBA Season Thread: Back and Maybe Better Than Ever Before

Riley chose not to trade for Dame or Jrue. Not surprising he doesn’t want to move Jimmy. Stubborn.
 
Any team except Miami, I guess.

I'd call his bluff. He's trying to get paid. No way he puts out bad tape for the rest of the season. Again, he's trying to get paid.
I’d think this was the right logic for almost anyone else, but Jimmy is a weirdo. I wouldn’t surprise if he’s convinced his resume prior to now is impressive enough that he can afford to suck with the HEAT if they keep him the rest of the season.

Thing is, I don't get his end goal at this point :lol

For the longest time, the source of friction with him was the team not being willing to extend him/give him a new max deal for obvious reasons.

Now that he's already missed 10+ games, had to leave early in others and is half-assing most of the rest, how does that equal a max worthy pitch to anyone else in the league?? :lol

Feels like some miscalculations have been made along the way and it's gonna end up blowing up in everyone's face...
 
Embiid the only one doing much of anything but he looks like he's playing on the 2nd night of a back to back
 
No point in being stubborn on moving Jimmy

Especially when your whole goal was to shift to Herro/Bam anyways
 
in all fairness to string, he lost his pops last year. then riles said what he said.
I thought it was in bad taste/timing even though I understood the frustration over his comments about Boston before losing but then his agent said this over the summer

Obviously feelings can change but he didn't have to say all that if that was the sticking point

Call his bluff and he just opts in to be spiteful
 
Miami wants to maintain flexibility? Sounds like an expiring fvv

Pat Riley and Jimmy Butler staring contest is hilariously outrageous.
The Heat live in a perpetual dream world for 15 years now like they’re something unbelievably unique. The Heatles, were when I was in in HS and Mr Beast was like 11.

Secondly, Jimmy is perpetually unhappy and only has the bubble to thank for his graces.

Other than that, when nobody was in the stands, I’m out of outs for him. I saw him do this show on the Wolves. And now he wants to leave Miami of all places :lol
 
I’ll say it again. Lakers win a championship if they play below .500 teams for the rest of the season into the playoffs.
