Jimmy Butler has no intention of leaving the Miami Heat, according to his agent Bernie Lee.
Jimmy Butler, a forward for the Miami Heat, rarely answers his critics.
Fortunately, Bernie Lee, his agent, will take care of it for him.
Lee recently replied to Kendrick Perkins of ESPN, who suggested that Butler should be traded by the Heat because he has no chance of winning a championship in Miami. Perkins selected Butler for the Philadelphia 76ers, where he would be paired with Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid. Moving Butler, according to Perkins, might make it easier for the Heat to turn the team over to young players like Tyler Herro, Bam Adebayo, and Jaime Jaquez.
Perkins stated earlier this week on NBA Today, “It’s time for the Heat to start they rebuild of their culture with the young guys and it’s not a bad thing.” “I’m not sure how much of Playoff Jimmy is still in Jimmy. At thirty-four, he has logged numerous miles, minutes, and wear and tear on his body. I simply don’t think the Miami Heat are a serious title contender this year.”
Lee, a vocal user of social media, responded via X, a platform that was formerly known as Twitter. He claimed that because Butler adores Miami and the Heat, he has no intention of moving.
Lee wrote, “To put it simply, he’s never going anywhere. EVER.” “He’s going to Miami to win a championship.”
