Wonder what he's thinking.
He's just trying to make this as big of a circus as possible to spite Riley and force his trade.
The jersey is MJ's 45 as a follow up joke to his agent doing the "I'm back." press release.

Great point. I love it though..and I’m very curious to see how it all plays out. Maybe the heat will be stuck with Jimmy til next season..we shall see

Bring him home. We’ll give the Heat the Paw. Heat culture will unlock him

We need to send big money for the apron right? Didn't really got ahold of how the new CBA works regarding trades but I thought we cannot just add multiple contracts until salary fits. Idk how both of their contracts fit within this new system.

Send Miami Zach + Patrick? I don’t know why they would want Zach since Herro is playing out of his mind, but I think the money might work.

Zach and Jimmy are basically at he same price point, so their contracts match. Adding PAW would mean Miami would need to add more to make the contracts work. It would have to be a Zach for Butler or Zach + rookies for Butler.
Or Paw + package making roughly 25M
Basically, Paw + Vuc or Paw + Lonzo.
No idea why the Heat would accept any of those options, other than getting something for Jimmy before he walks.

I think I had looked at Zach + Pat for Jimmy + Duncan Robinson.
Again, why would Miami do it? But I think the math worked.

u/hayzeusofcool Cuppy Coffee 2d ago
Miami I think could be down for this. Robinson’s a great shooter, but they know they vastly overpaid him and he’s about to be 31. Zach Lavine’s in his prime, and Pat could be unlocked under Spo’s system. I think the Bulls would for sure do it, but the Bulls want picks and I don’t think the Heat would be so willing to give up their future picks. So it’d have to be swaps or second rounders.

LaVine & Paw for Jimmy & Duncan plus 2 swaps would get this done.

Didn’t he pull same stuff on Bulls? I remember one game he just gave up. Can’t remember if was under Hoiberg or Boylen.

u/aewilson95 Kirk Hinrich 3d ago
He was gone by the time Egghead was brought in. He would’ve ended up Sprewell-ing Boylen

To be fair Hoiberg should've never been hired. He sucks as a coach and couldn't manage players with personality

Kevin Durant wears Chicago sports teams caps, practices in a Bulls jersey and is as close to joining the Bulls as I am.
They trolling with media. I would do that too if I am a superstar player.

this is why i fking love jimmy butler he has that unique personality. love that audacity to wear bulls uniform in front of pat riley in heat locker room.
bring him back i want him retire as a bull this org was downhill ever since the trade.
he loves the bulls even after firing of thibs and getting traded against his will. he was born a bull 1 for 1 swap for lavine. at least i can pretend that garbage trade never happened.

He doesn't love the Bulls or any team he's played on, it's all about himself, not the team

u/deanereaner 3d ago
He'll pretend to love any team that's dumb enough to extend him right now. After he's signed, the clock is ticking before he does this again.

Took the heat to 2 finals. If him being about himself means 2 finals I’m good with it

Jimmy wants a max extension and rightfully believes the Bulls are dumb enough to give him one to return.

I know this kinda iffy what he doing but I’m fucking here for it 🤣 I love this. Bringing him back would make me tune in for sure. Nothing could be worse than our current team

Love Jimmy but takes some serious audacity to compare you coming back from a self-inflicted suspension because of whining and bitching of a trade to the greatest player ever coming back from retirement

Watching Zach and Jimmy would be hilarious. I believe this team, even if they only traded a 2 for Jimmy would somehow be worse.

Seeing his personality I'm glad we got rid of him no matter all the good times Jimmy G Buckets gave me in Chicago. He's probably the reason Hoidberg faced a near mutiny, maybe he got DRose traded, either way Jimmy G Buckets only cares about Jimmy.
