i'm thinking he hit it in the bubble and then stop talking to her after the bubble so this is her get back. remember who jimmy went to to break the news when he asked to be traded from the timberwolves
After LeBron left we were still championship winners what really made us take a hit was Bosh having that blood clot situation that took him out the game
Is it possible for The Heat to assign Jimmy Butler to their G League team , The Skyforce, if they can't trade him. Keeps him away from the team and most likely he would refuse to play and then they could suspend him for the rest of the season. Makes me smile thinking about it.
RN knows basketball. I’m surprised she doesn’t actually work for an NBA team as a consultant or a position in player development. She is right about JB. He got some miles on him. 😊
Rachel has the best take I've heard on Jimmy. As a Heat fan, all I can say it that it is a shame it has gotten to this. I think we're stuck with him now.
As a heat fan I appreciate the coverage and being honest, Miami has the backbone to take this as far as Jimmy wants, maybe another org would just take Beal and move on, not the heat
Jimmy was good in Min until the knee injury Was great for the 76ers until the shoot that made Embid cry Is great for the Heat, but wants a ring and clearly understanding he can't win with that roster at Miami
Ingram and Herb Jones for Butler... However I can't understand .. The same when Portland didn't want Herro 2 years ago... Why Now do es it seem Beal is such a terrible players??
JB is jealous of Herro! That sums up this situation. Great breakdown, JB needed the Heat and instead of working it out, he went Jimmy freakin’ Karen mode on them!!
The problem with Jimmy is that he has become a problem everywhere he goes, and now he’s almost 36, injured and not the same player, but still wants a supermax deal while being as toxic as ever.
There is also a report about weird noises coming from Jimmy Butlers hotel room during the Heats bubble Finals run vs the Lakers Rachel but what do I know...
Rachel speaking nothin but facts here, especially the way teams get penalized if they go over the salary cap these days. Jimmy is going to have to just humble himself somewhat.
I hadn't realized this is where Rachel went. Good to know. Be nice if I could subscribe to just this show, I don't want all of SI's content in my subscriptions feed. Your loss. Poor social media execution.
Found the podcast feed tho, so that works. I guess Open Floor gets their own channel for audio but not for video. These are the types of reasons why dinosaurs like SI get disrupted.
No he is not the same Jimmy Butler. Now He is shooting 58% from the field. The best defensive player and most consistent player on the floor. Pat Riley is the problem. Don't forget (D. Wade left and LeBron!) why???? Pat Riley lies to his players about contracts. "Future Faking " use these young players. Then trade them get another strong,fast, athletic out there...play before I send you away. Trading Block...where have I heard that before
fox being available is also killing price for jimmy. I think fox is first domino to fall, only then jimmy could get traded, unless they just unload him for anything..
Nah ... she don't like Jimmy anymore ... she bringing up every single negative thing about him ... he definitely hit that a couple years ago !!! This is so personal !!! LOL
Ok I wish she would get her facts straight before speaking. First made $300 million not 400 in his career. And that os a huge difference. Also to say hes made at least another $300 in endorsement is comical. She also screwed up some of his stats too. Youre a reporter and dont do homework
Why are they always trying to spin narratives? The only thing that was non-negotiable for the Heat was 2026. I never heard of any offers being rejected by Miami or any demamds being made. The only thing I heard is that anytime a team not named the Suns was reported to have an interest, Jimmy's camp would add that team to the list of teams he refuses to play for. The only thing that could have changed is Jimmy is willing to go to other teams because he sure as shit can't come back to Miami after all this and Phoenix won't be able to pull off that trade. Miami is on to the youth movement so they have no urgency to trade him although I think they will probably let him stay home if they can't trade him at this point. That shameless diva is going to pick up the option too for what will likely be his last NBA contract if he doesn't get traded.
She was talking down on skillz and age .. YUP he not hitting no more .. she trying to keep him in Miami, so she can get a new player on a different team
I think Jimmy might be done he has tried to burn down franchises on the way out everywhere no contender wants a 36 year old that has an attitude like that
Jimmy butler reminds me of klay Thompson and Jordan Poole when Poole got his new contract. He was older and Poole is younger. Butler, dreymond and looney can’t score as starters. Warriors need scoring, we have too many role players not enough young main players. Butler is too old that’s why Miami doesn’t want to extend him. Why would warriors get an old player making $50 million. Butler at $30 million through free agency would work
Jimmy overplayed his hand this time. Almost any other team would have an issue enforcing what the Heat are doing during this drama. The Heat are possibly the most stable organization in sports in America. They don’t mess around.
Great perspective Racheal! If this is a “Pat vs Jimmy” situation, Pat has the upper hand. Third suspension for conduct detrimental to team will carry over past the trade deadline resulting in him losing money indefinitely. Pat will win that measuring contest and ngl I love it. Stand your ground Pat. Reality check to players and free lesson to GMs on how to be a boss and run things. 👏
this attitude punk doesnt care, he knows he has $million coming one way or another, teams out there will take him and try to win then worry about him later, big money NBA life will go on.
What are you even talking about?! HELLO! This is an Apron world, and you’re having a willfully ignorant conversation like teams aren’t in the Apron. That limits the teams even ABLE to trade for him, never mind WANT to trade for him.
Sry Rachel, if you want to talk about age and stuff then Malika Andrews should have replaced you, and you and Jimmy were a thing in the bubble, so... Chill... You can't say anything about Jimmy. We all know how you got all those interviews, Joy said she took one out of your play book... So Chill
Pat Riley disrespected Jimmy Butler multiple times and treats the entire heat team like a plantation. That's how this all started, it's not about the money.
, you talking dumb shit who was Jimmy Butler let’s real the Heat aka Pat Riley got him his first max deal cause Chicago,Wolves,and Sixers trade …Jimmy is in the league cause Pat Riley cause he would been out the league cause he is a headache and yes it’s about the money
Thank you Rachel Nichols for being the first media figure to point out the obvious in respect to aging Jimmy "Diva" Butler! That rotten apple isn't worth the squeeze.
Always a pleasure to hear Rachel weigh in on the topic of Jimmy Butler.
😂
🤣🤣
Inside scoop
😂
Lmao
It's refreshing that these two are giving their takes without having to yell and talk over each other.
Shut up bot
Cant believe Rachel talking bout her boo thing like this 😂
i'm thinking he hit it in the bubble and then stop talking to her after the bubble so this is her get back. remember who jimmy went to to break the news when he asked to be traded from the timberwolves
@gnohcrol2399 🤣🤣🤣, she's definitely salty
are you 12 boo thang?
You weirdos have spent too much time by yourselves.
And are starting to believe your own BS.
yu kno? The coffee game was loser from the hump,
sorry, jump
I like to hear Rachel Nichols talk about the NBA. She is an excellent NBA reporter, and I trust her reporting about the NBA.
After LeBron left we were still championship winners what really made us take a hit was Bosh having that blood clot situation that took him out the game
4sure i always 4get about that. That's why Heat had a big dip when Bron left..
Honestly, Rachel Nichols was one of the best on air personalities in regards to the NBA in the mid to late 2010s. Her takes are pretty spot on.
Rachel is on point! Wow! Great take! 👏🏽🙌🏽🙏
When a woman (Rachel) is scorned, leave, Jimmy Butler out of it.😂😂😂
The greed of so many in the USA is unreal. So sad
I miss Rachel on ESPN.
That replacement person isn't cutting it, and yet the network drags it along....
Definitely. No female NBA reporter has been even close to her level.
The Jump was goated.
Is it possible for The Heat to assign Jimmy Butler to their G League team , The Skyforce, if they can't trade him. Keeps him away from the team and most likely he would refuse to play and then they could suspend him for the rest of the season. Makes me smile thinking about it.
Not a bad idea
RN knows basketball. I’m surprised she doesn’t actually work for an NBA team as a consultant or a position in player development.
She is right about JB. He got some miles on him. 😊
She’d run through the team and end up pregnant
This was personal Rachael 😂
Rachel has the best take I've heard on Jimmy. As a Heat fan, all I can say it that it is a shame it has gotten to this. I think we're stuck with him now.
Rachel, they went to 3 conference finals and 2 NBA finals in 5 years, not one. She probably misspoke or forgot. Just wanted to clear that up.
She was thinking about other things about Jimmy 😅
Rachel is giving off ex-lover kind of vibes. I think she lost her job because of Jimmy in the bubble.
You must not've been paying attention if you think it was the Jimmy thing.
Lol. Thinking isn't your strong suite. She lost her job for a very specific reason that had nothing to do with Jimmy.
As a heat fan I appreciate the coverage and being honest, Miami has the backbone to take this as far as Jimmy wants, maybe another org would just take Beal and move on, not the heat
Beal isn’t really very good tbh
@billricheter5678 not that good and awful contract
@@billricheter5678 and he's made of glass
Always a great segment when R and C talk hoop....
breath of fresh air
Rachel talking smack about Jimmy in hopes to put the gossips to rest for good 😂
Jimmy was good in Min until the knee injury
Was great for the 76ers until the shoot that made Embid cry
Is great for the Heat, but wants a ring and clearly understanding he can't win with that roster at Miami
lol your funny with that last comment. about the heat
Ingram and Herb Jones for Butler... However I can't understand .. The same when Portland didn't want Herro 2 years ago... Why Now do es it seem Beal is such a terrible players??
Nice interview guys
JB is jealous of Herro! That sums up this situation. Great breakdown, JB needed the Heat and instead of working it out, he went Jimmy freakin’ Karen mode on them!!
Heat fan bs
@@StanleyJones-t1uidk that that’s a heat fan but a troll
🧢🧢 if anything he's jealous of Bam. Tyler is broke.
She Hates Jimmy Cuz He Smashed And Dip 😂
The problem with Jimmy is that he has become a problem everywhere he goes, and now he’s almost 36, injured and not the same player, but still wants a supermax deal while being as toxic as ever.
There is also a report about weird noises coming from Jimmy Butlers hotel room during the Heats bubble Finals run vs the Lakers Rachel but what do I know...
A report from who?
Rachel talking like this because their fling is over. We haven’t forgot
lol nah she is such a good reporter. I miss NBA Jump sometimes
Rachel speaking nothin but facts here, especially the way teams get penalized if they go over the salary cap these days. Jimmy is going to have to just humble himself somewhat.
wow great insight from Rachel!!!
Rachel has firsthand experience about Jimmy Butler and his mentality
Rachel has the inside scoop on Jimmy Butler.
I love Rachel, but she's aging fast! Damn!
She's 51 sir.
Lol. I mean she still looks good for 51.
Butler's a child and a spoiled brat
The "cost" hasn't gone down. 😂 They just said nothing's changed.
I hadn't realized this is where Rachel went. Good to know. Be nice if I could subscribe to just this show, I don't want all of SI's content in my subscriptions feed. Your loss. Poor social media execution.
Found the podcast feed tho, so that works. I guess Open Floor gets their own channel for audio but not for video. These are the types of reasons why dinosaurs like SI get disrupted.
That famed Heat culture caught a train to Oaklahoma City last summer😅
Welp, I guess Rachel's not getting the exclusive 1-on-1 interview with Jimmy after he gets traded. 🙄
lol I dont remember the last one on one meeting they had publicly...
The disrespect from this lady wtf ???? Wow
Haters. You too Rachael?
Explain where she lied.
The whole HATING argument no longer has merit , without any evidence of it.
I see Rachel Nichols. I click.
Rachel keeping it real AF. I agree, tho. Jimmy on some bullshit and I don't see how his reputation recovers from this.
Awwww... Rachel misses Jimmy 😅
No he is not the same Jimmy Butler. Now He is shooting 58% from the field. The best defensive player and most consistent player on the floor. Pat Riley is the problem. Don't forget (D.

fox being available is also killing price for jimmy. I think fox is first domino to fall, only then jimmy could get traded, unless they just unload him for anything..
Sure it will, he will get out of and off of the Miami Heat, everything he wants
What I am curious is what dumb team is going to give him a hefty contract for 2026 and more
Pat Riley is one of the best businessman in basketball.
A rental trade ŵill be made.
Nah ... she don't like Jimmy anymore ... she bringing up every single negative thing about him ... he definitely hit that a couple years ago !!! This is so personal !!! LOL
If Suns really want Butler I bet Riley will take an even up trade for Booker.
The hours on the tarmac isn't true
I can hear the comments already
Ok I wish she would get her facts straight before speaking. First made $300 million not 400 in his career. And that os a huge difference. Also to say hes made at least another $300 in endorsement is comical. She also screwed up some of his stats too. Youre a reporter and dont do homework
Curry doesn’t want Butler! Enough said. He’s toast!
His agent likely has some blame

Rachel talking about rebounds! lmao.
She misses Butler
lovely
Love jimmy but damm damm horrible situation 😮
"He's just not the same player as the one that I smashed in the bubble"
lol ED maybe?
Rachel respectfully we not tryna hear that bs you talking about
I would still take her 😂
She was talking down on skillz and age .. YUP he not hitting no more .. she trying to keep him in Miami, so she can get a new player on a different team
Did you not hear that waiting on the plane was not true? Need to report facts not speculation. This Rachel lady is a negative Nancy.
Jimmy scorned Rachel so she's not covering for him
I think Jimmy might be done he has tried to burn down franchises on the way out everywhere no contender wants a 36 year old that has an attitude like that
Jimmy butler reminds me of klay Thompson and Jordan Poole when Poole got his new contract. He was older and Poole is younger. Butler, dreymond and looney can’t score as starters.

Why would warriors get an old player making $50 million. Butler at $30 million through free agency would work
I think butler would be great for Memphis because they are a younger team. They just need him to go over the top
Naw. Jimmy has something to prove. Sign him for one year.
They must’ve had a bad breakup 😩🤣
Jimmy's last good year was 2 years ago. He's on the decline, no way he should get a new big deal
Jimmy overplayed his hand this time. Almost any other team would have an issue enforcing what the Heat are doing during this drama. The Heat are possibly the most stable organization in sports in America. They don’t mess around.
rachel is hurt she didnt get a baby outta jimmy
Rachel talking down on her man
guys she never said anything why are you assuming that they slept together ?
Because it’s well known
espn messed up letting her go, and malika is terrible
Jimmy to Pacers.
Pat Riley might mess around with Jimmy Butler and trade him to Sacramento Kings, New Orleans Pelicans, Toronto Raptors or Washington Wizards. Lol 😂
Rachael. Maybe you should get your information vetted and correctly reported rather than speculating.
can you time stamp what you think was not reported correctly.
Please Grizzlies don’t do it
Rachel is not looking as good as she was on "All The Smoke"
He hasn't made $400 million smh
Great perspective Racheal! If this is a “Pat vs Jimmy” situation, Pat has the upper hand. Third suspension for conduct detrimental to team will carry over past the trade deadline resulting in him losing money indefinitely. Pat will win that measuring contest and ngl I love it.

Daaanag Jimmy must of cheated on Rachel
What are you even talking about?! HELLO! This is an Apron world, and you’re having a willfully ignorant conversation like teams aren’t in the Apron. That limits the teams even ABLE to trade for him, never mind WANT to trade for him.
Sry Rachel, if you want to talk about age and stuff then Malika Andrews should have replaced you, and you and Jimmy were a thing in the bubble, so... Chill... You can't say anything about Jimmy. We all know how you got all those interviews, Joy said she took one out of your play book... So Chill

Pat Riley disrespected Jimmy Butler multiple times and treats the entire heat team like a plantation. That's how this all started, it's not about the money.
, you talking dumb shit who was Jimmy Butler let’s real the Heat aka Pat Riley got him his first max deal cause Chicago,Wolves,and Sixers trade …Jimmy is in the league cause Pat Riley cause he would been out the league cause he is a headache and yes it’s about the money
Plantation? Bro is a millionaire and this is a business.
Thank you Rachel Nichols for being the first media figure to point out the obvious in respect to aging Jimmy "Diva" Butler! That rotten apple isn't worth the squeeze.
Rachel goin in on Jimmy today! Damm! 😂
This is not gift giving. It's a business...
If he earned $2B B4, it has no bearing on what he's supposed to be paid for services not yet rendered
Butler's become such a pain in the ass. All about me. Never gonna be a winner.
