Just when you thought Butler couldn't be a bigger cunt diva:

Sources: Heat's Jimmy Butler tells Warriors he won't sign if traded​

Amid trade talks, Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler has communicated to the Golden State Warriors that he is not interested in signing a contract extension there, sources told ESPN.

Butler's position dims the chances of a deal coming together, but the situation remains fluid, sources said. The Warriors have been in conversations with multiple teams about improving their roster leading up to Thursday's NBA trade deadline.

Butler has a $52 million player option for next season, but his representation has indicated repeatedly that he prefers to bypass it and become a free agent. Butler's focus remains on getting traded to the Phoenix Suns, where he has shown an interest in signing a multiyear deal, sources said.

Teams interested in Butler have also mulled the chances they could trade for Butler without a long-term commitment with the belief that the six-time All-Star would possibly exercise his player option and not become a free agent, sources said.

Last month, the Memphis Grizzlies had preliminary talks with the Heat about Butler, sources said, but Butler also made it known he would not commit long-term in Memphis. Those discussions subsequently did not progress.

Butler is currently serving a five-game suspension -- his third suspension of the season -- after leaving practice last week.

Suns or nothing?

I get he’s super talented but the league can’t solely function to suite the needs of players.

People bitching about the NFL being rigged for the Chiefs need to STFU because THIS is what the league being rigged actually looks like. Chiefs lost Hill and haven't lost since. Lakers have been farming everyone elses stars since the 60s with the franchise they stole from Minnesota.

I believe the Lakers as a franchise should be retired they are not good for basketball and Los Angeles fans deserve to be subjected to rooting for the Clippers until the end of time.

He's talented, but he's a diva and a cancer in every locker rooms he's been in.

He left the Wolves because KAT is an enormous pussy and a completely insurmountable obstacle to overcome in the playoffs. The 76ers chose Tobias Harris over him. Pat Riley is a crotchety old f4ggot who called Jimmy out after their playoff loss and didn't like the clap back.

Mavs will never get a big game free agent when they handle their own superstars like this. RIP

Bron to GS ain't gonna happen but it would be hilarious if he left Luka to join the warriors lol

 

[ferrisjso]

Remember last year we had a few Mavs fans posting here. I feel horribly for them tbh. This is probably the worst thing any sports teams management has ever done to their fans. Mavs employees should do coup.

They never paid for premiere FA's anyways lol

Exactly. They also haven’t had to because they have had a cornerstone all time franchise player for two decades. Now after AD is gone in two seasons they will be in search for a cornerstone all time franchise player. Ooooops if only they had one…

Nico and the ownership just sunk the franchise RIP (rest in piss)

 

[Domitian]

Mavs team morale has to be in the gutter. It's time to throw some cash down against them the next week or two.

This franchise just suicided itself.

 

[ferrisjso]

Kyrie Irving should retire out of spite.

Kyrie Irving should retire out of spite.

Kyrie is the type of guy to retire during his prime with no explanation.

 

[The Good The Bad The HBK]

Lakers should trade LeBron and his kid now along with Reeves and the 1st rd DP and build around Luka now.

You dont understand, there is a 15 year old kid who theyre gonna have a 12.5% chance to draft in 3 years. He could even be the next Luka Doncic!
