    Jimmy is a problem every where he goes and he not even at the level of Kawhi leonard

    I don’t see any playoff team give Buttler a 4 year deal. He’s better off ending the season with the heat and showing his worth

    Stephen a talking out of 2 sides of his mouth cause he just said that the Lakers management have to find players. Which one is it Steve?

    And yet guys like Howard, Thon Maker, even Taco Fall dont get a look? Workout? Nothing

    Absolute power corrupts absolutely and when the NBA gave the players too much power, it allowed them to ruin the sport

    LeBron had a perfect team when he first join the Lakers. A lot of young talent that he could’ve developed with.

    shams playing a greaser from the 1950s.

    I’m not sure where these dudes get off not playing all 82. Can you imagine Mahomes just sitting out any game for rest?? Play all 82 and play them hard. Everything else will fall in line

    stephen got 0 ball knowledge, cause why is he talking about mark andrews and “i know this guy”

    Lebron is dumb…disbanding his team’s role players after getting a championship just to get the overrated Westbrick… LOL we all know what happened afterwards 😂😂😂

    He wasn’t late, he arranged a different flight

    Lakers need to get Jimmy

    Jimmy fake buckets is part of the problem in professional basketball today. We have all these fake superstars who dont get it done and then they point fingers instead of taking accountability. Thanks lebron this is your fault🙄

    to keep it a buck, Jimmy Butler isn’t good enough to act like this

  17. @servHis221

    Jimmy has done everything he could possibly do for the Heat. He carried them to a Finals. Being under contract, I would prefer he honours whatever remains of it as a professional. As far as the future, I hope he finds a good situation.

  18. @saj8

    January 27, 2025 at 4:25 pm

    Neither side looks good in this situation. Not Butler nor Riles.

    Stephen A been hating on LeBron and the lakers so much lately.

  20. @jasonfondeur376

    January 27, 2025 at 5:51 pm

    Ahh yes Stephen A blaming Lebron for everything

    Missing the flight looks bad on its face but when you make it clear that you had allowed him to fly separate previously and then you say he can’t do it now, there isn’t any consistency. You can’t decide now that he can’t fly separate from the team when he has in the past. If he missed the flight and was late to Milwaukee fine but you can tell me to show up to work at 9am and then called me at 7:45 and say you want me at work at 8 and be pissed I’m not there

  22. @jefferyjackson134

    January 27, 2025 at 9:39 pm

    And CBA is not coming to Jimmy Butler defense. Classic workplace retaliation.

  23. @maxkamper7451

    January 27, 2025 at 10:40 pm

    This is the same with lebron

  24. @aaronbankhead3771

    January 27, 2025 at 10:58 pm

    I swear i don’t judge ppl but When he flat iron his i was done with bro 💯

    imagine if the Lakers used Russ properly. he sure don’t have no problem sharing the court with the best player in the world. wonder why he did with LeBron
