    Yikes... the real SHAQ showing his true NBA colors.

    One of the many reasons he clashed with Kobe.

    Yeah it's a dumb trade. Bulls want to cut salary, not add salary lol. Imagine being given whatever garbage picks to take on Bradley for no reason when Zach gets paid less and is a better player at this point of their careers. Absolutely ridiculous proposal since all those other teams have given away their unprotected picks already.

    Jimmy is going to pick up that PO and ride into the sunset. He believes his worth is max. Suns are the only team stupid enough to pay him the max. The problem is the Suns don't have assets to trade for him.

    Beal played for Donovan at UF and actually still likes him. CHI not too far from STL.

    But yeah from Zach to Brad is a head scratcher.

    You have to wonder if there is a team out there (other than Phoenix) stupid enough to trade for Beal. There is always that one.

    Personally I think Jimmy Butler fits on this current team. He’s one of the best 2 way players in the league. A veteran that can help the young guys get over the hump. At this point I think Miami will trade him for Cheetoes. Question is who the FO is gonna give up, and drafts picks.

    Did he pull another practice incident like he did in Minny?
    https://dunkingwithwolves.com/2022/10/10/remembering-jimmy-butlers-infamous-timberwolves-moment

    After requesting a trade from Minnesota three weeks prior, Butler made his return to practice on Wednesday, October 10th, 2018, and he meant business.

    Challenging both his teammates and the Timberwolves’ ownership, Butler teamed up with end-of-the-bench players and proceeded to dominate the team’s scrimmage during practice. According to reports, Butler only shot the ball once, but he put on a clinic in passing, blocking shots, and getting steals.

    When the scrimmage was over, he reportedly left the gym while directing comments at then-General Manager Scott Layden. Butler told the GM that he needed him, and told him, “You can’t win without me.”

    It was quite the show of emotion from Jimmy Butler, and one that ultimately led to his departure from the team a few weeks later when he was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers.

    You knew that this was the Heat’s preferred option. Hard to believe Jimmy took the bait.

    All a team has to do to get him is match his salary no further out than next year. I doubt you would even need to give Miami picks at this point. Somebody is going to beat Phoenix to the punch because they can’t find that third team to take on Beal.

    I have a feeling Butler is a freaking diva and all this stuff about being tough is just part of a character that he loves playing. I don’t want that guy near my team, no way, no how. He’s probably an ******* in the Kobe MJ mold, but without much to back it up and being a dick just to be one, more that he’s playing a role rather than truly believing in what they’re doing.
