Not good enough to compete, not bad enough to win the Lottery.
So instead, the story is, of course, Butler’s return.
You cant control grown men in this line of work.
you’re able to try, but Im going to do what I want to do.
Im going to show up.
Im going to compete and Im going to help us win.
So you’re able to be mad.
you might paint a picture that is not entirely true.
I dont even need to get into that.
They know what theyre doing.
You got to paint somebody to be the bad guy.
Ill take being a bad guy.
Im competing at a high level and Im helping the Golden State Warriors win.
They want me here.
Hell, Im cool with being a bad guy over there.
It is a great organization.
Of course, there are always two sides to every story.
Sure I bet Pat Riley leaked certain things, but Jimmy is also responsible for his own actions.
He didn’t show up and play through things while a trade was figured out.
It was literally the exact opposite.
At the same time, the Heat share their own share of the blame pie as well.
But at the same time, everyone is watching you as a franchise in a moment like this.
It sounds silly, but that stuff matters.
It’s partially why EVERYONE gets tribute videos nowadays, even the guys who pull shit like Jimmy did.
it’s possible for you to be thankful for the good times but also pissed at the current situation.
We all know it’s real, but it’s not until the first game back that thingstrulyfeel real.
Something tells me Heat fans will have a similar experience tomorrow night.
It just goes to show that things in the NBA can certainly change in the blink of an eye.
