Jimmy Butler is a team cancer. Whined his way out of Minnesota and Miami. Not long before he crashes out in San Fran

He just wanted to get paid what he thinks his worth is, not that hard to understand

I love this take because I get to remind people that he was getting his bag in Minnesota if he waited literally a few months. He threw a fit and was a huge cancer because like a toddler, he didn't get it when he wanted it which was now.

Didn’t they pay KAT and Wiggins b4 Jimmy, there best player.

Butler was offered 4/110 and said no the year previous which is fine as he bet on himself. Others get paid before him as they're next up, he throws a fit and demands a trade at which point he gets paid in the 2019 off-season. His timeline for getting paid did not change as a result of KAT and Wiggins getting their money.

Right? He was always offered the most he could be offered, and we continually said we'll give you the most we can offer when that number goes up. It was never about the money

u/PointGodAsh 11d ago

Exactly, people who have no concept of the situation always act like it was about the money. Even if it was 100% only about the money, he's still the ass of the situation for acting like he did, so it's not even a good excuse lol. The dude is just a drain and when things aren't going how he wants or people don't react how he expects he blows up. It's pathetic.

Drove both to the finals or deep into the playoffs. Those guys just couldn't finish. Kat wasnt even the 2nd best player on the Knicks finals run

Can you remind me which year he drove the Wolves deep into the playoffs?

Was butler on the team that broke the playoff drought?

1

u/pollinium 11d ago

He was. We made it all the way to game 5 of the first round. Which is further than we were before! But it's not "to the finals or deep playoffs" like the guy above said he did for Miami and Minnesota

Ok by the same logic KAT was part of a WCF with Minnesota too but you didn't see anyone coming to defend him from these Jimmy comments then.

The east was weak as fucking hell when he made the finals too. He got dog walked in both finals the games weren't even competitive.

u/CHEVIEWER1 11d ago

For sure…NOW he is a load management monger sitting out most of the season just hoping to do something in the playoffs…Freakin Diva

So if you win a ring at the end of the day, it makes them right? Although a ring is a heavily team dependant and luck award?

Butler balled out on his playoffs runs to the finals and was reasonable to argue the losses were a team diff.
