@themessychef30: "Jimmy Butler has an awful habit of picking up his dribble prematurally and breaking the play because of it."
@954Carlito: "jimmy butler clearly don’t wanna play for us so i don’t get why spo keep playing em."
Ira Winderman: "Jimmy Butler with an early basket, assist and rebound . . . showcase?"
@JahwarnH: "Yeah they trading Jimmy Butler this is insane. Hasn’t played since the 3rd quarter."
@ArizonaUnitedd: "Jimmy Butler hasn’t played this 4th quarter, that must mean a trade is happening tonight or tomorrow."
@Jimbutlermuse: "Jimmy Butler tonight

Was this his last game in a Heat jersey?"
Wes Goldberg: "Jimmy Butler walks off the court after the buzzer as the NBA world buzzes about the Suns potentially setting up a trade."
@CoreyB08: "Jimmy Butler’s last game likely in front of Miami crowd in a Heat jersey. It’s going to end in a loss to the Blazers who might’ve been one of the biggest proponents to Jimmy’s departure when Cronin refused to send Dame to Miami."
@big_business_: "Jimmy Butler’s shoes for tonight’s game, wearing Phoenix Suns the valley colors"
@HorchataLatte: "Spo really waived the flag, huh? Game was within 16 with 8 minutes left & he just kept the young guys in. Not even a look at Bam or Jimmy
Yeah, that Butler trade is definitely coming & real soonâ€|"
