    In light of his argument with Coach Spoelstra, would you gamble on Jimmy Butler for a decent price?

    Not sure he's available.

    But Jimmy would be FANTASTIC next to Dame. We should have been serious about trading for him 6 year ago (when Bulls traded him)

    Spo should have kicked him out of the game.

    Supposedly Jimmy's work ethic was questioned and he told spo to go fuck himself.

    We are talking about Jimmy Butler.......so this was pretty much inevitable.
    The question is what would we give up for essentially 2 years of good Jimmy and two years of bad Jimmy while he makes 50 mil per year in his mid-30s.

    During the time out:
    Jimmy: I need Rachel Nichols back to ESPN
    SPO: Who?
    Jimmy: Rachel Nichols
    SPO: Get your mind back in the game, we are not in the Bubble.

    No. They will keep him. They can handle some chaos; most other teams can't so he he has more value to them than he would to trade partners.

    How does that saying go?

    My favorite part is Udonis Haslem getting restrained as he’s telling Butler he’s going to beat his ass. Old vet has coaches back
