Jimmy Butler has revealed before that part of why he left Philly is because he heard leadership say they’d have him back “if they could control him.” That type of approach is also part of what pushed him out of Miami, he tells The Athletic. http://dlvr.it/TJjrM0 - ThreadSky

He's what happens when inmates run the asylum.
Shut your freaking mouth and play to win. Dude is a cancer on every team he's been with. Have to assume the Warriors are next to contract his disease.

joke's on Philly they paid Tobias Harris basically the same money jimmy would've gotten. Who's going to the playoffs this year?

Jimmy is fiery, but he is not lazy.
I seem to remember him calling out Simmons and Joel Embiid in the locker room as being soft.
I guess that Jimmy was right.
Jimmy is a Philly type athlete.

Read it . Of course it’s Jimmy’s side and yes if you don’t pay him what he thinks he’s worth , he is a total pain . But Philly - that sounded like Embid was the problem .

I mean, you're a grown man and a professional. You shouldn't have to be controlled, you should be able to have self control.

And how many rings does that fuck have? Zero. He’s done some good shit in the NBA, but how tf can you have an ego like that and no chip to show for it? Be humble and might have actually made it happen.

gateshawk.bsky.social•89 days ago

you know who's got a ring? Luke Kornet. now just trade jimmy straight up for LK and Golden State is set

What pushed him out was him not being offered max contracts with Wolves, Sixers and Heat🙄

Whyyyyy can’t The Athletic figure out how to properly post articles to social media? Facebook, Bluesky, X…every platform you do it wrong, with a static preview picture that DOESN’T link and a messy URL either in the header or comments. You’re owned by NYT, can’t someone there teach you how to do it?
