Jimmy Butler signed a max contract this offseason to join the Miami Heat. Butler was traded from the Minnesota Timberwolves to the Philadelphia 76ers last season, it was reported butler being traded was due to his attitude toward the team and butler being at odds with KAT and Wiggins.
Butler played well for the 76ers and didn’t seem to cause any friction. But as free agency approached many teams still questioned if Jimmy B. attitude was worth the max contract.
An Anonymous NBA GM echoed this telling Real Gm Keith Smith “You add Jimmy, you better be sure,” “I bet spo (Erik Spokestra) and Pat are sure. And they are probably right. But that dude can ruin your whole deal if he’s not happy. And when has he ever been happy?”
The anonymous GM has a good point, when asking when has jimmy ever been happy? But Jimmy Butler did pick Miami Heat and it’s clearly his team. Let’s see how next season plays out.
