Is This The End Of An Era? Pat Riley Tells Jimmy Butler To Keep His Mouth Shut After Butler Trolled The Knicks And Celtics
You gotta be fucking kidding me. Come on Pat. What are we doing? Jimmy is the best player this team has had since Lebron James. He’s singlehandily carried the sorry ass teams that you built to two NBA finals. And instead of actually bringing in quality players to help Jimmy and this team win, you want him to shut his mouth over a trolling video? Knowing Pat and Jimmy's relationship, it probably won't be as big of a deal as the media will make it out to be.
Even if it was a joke, the timing of it is terrible. Jimmy is due for another max contract and I don’t think the headline of telling him to shut his mouth is good for negotiations. So instead of telling our best player to shut his mouth, why don’t you tell the scrubs you sign off the street to step their game up? You’re the only GM that has brought me any joy in my life but lately you’ve been acting like a goofy. Stop “running it back” with a squad who’s never won. The time is now we have MAYBE 1 or 2 years left of Jimmy. Don’t let it go to waste.
