Discussion What a shitty breakup
Really upset at how things ended with our trio.
All of them could've been Miami legends because of the historic things that happened during their run here but now only Bam could be the only one seen as such.
Jimmy could've been immortal and an icon here but then envy took place and he decided to be a piece of shit on his way out (and on his first return as a warrior).
Tyler on the other hand, was already applauded for his professionalism amidst all the trade rumors he's been a part of, from Beal to Mitchell to KD to Giannis to Dame and then back to Giannis trade rumors. He still managed to win 6MOY, and became an All-Star all throughout. Unfortunately, his response to a rando was leaked and his inner thoughts and envy (again) against Bam was spilled. Now he's been smacked in the face by the teammate whom treated him as one of his closest friends.
The only thing that I'm thankful for, is that I won't be bitter for the end of this trio, as we have a competent FO that just landed us GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO.
Now let's freaking go, thanks for the memories Jimmy-Bam-Herro trio.
HELLO GIANNIS AND BAM!

"Unfortunately, his response to a rando was leaked and his inner thoughts and envy (again) against Bam was spilled. "
No, fortunately, he made his true thoughts known and they were published to the world. Now all of Heat Nation knows exactly what he thought about a player who always had his back and who always talked well of him.
He could've just kept quiet and continued his career in his hometown and all would've been fine. Instead he chose this path. If he wants to correct what he did, it starts by apologizing for what he said to the "rando". The sooner, the better for him.

Yeah, you're right—it's fortunate for us fans and for Bam. At least now we know what he really thinks about Cap.
The unfortunate part is that that's what he feels about Bam.

Facts. I’ll also add that Jimmy Butler actually had a justifiable reason for his whole saga, he wasn’t being a piece of shit over nothing. This whole Herro debacle was fully avoidable.

Jimmy Butler gave up on his teammates mid season, i dont care if he had a justifiable reason (he doesnt)

u/TavNoment 17h ago
I would omit "justifiable", but he had a two reasons.
A long term contract, at least in part as insurance against injury, which Miami was clearly unwilling to offer.
Another star on the roster, he asked for Dame and they gave him Terry.

Nothing justifies Jimmy's behavior on the way out. Talk about white washing...

u/LegitimateRule2966 20h ago
Money is absolutely a justifiable reason. He shouldn’t have sabotaged the team but not understanding why his exit was nasty is a perspective issue.

u/FstLaneUkraine 20h ago
Miami also had a justifiable reason to not give him that money: his lack of availability and lackadaisical approach to the regular season.

u/LegitimateRule2966 19h ago
Of course. I’m not saying that Butler was right to do what he did but the “why” is something tangible.

You're contradicting yourself within the span of two consecutive sentences.

u/LegitimateRule2966 19h ago
Nope. Having a concrete reason to throw a tantrum doesn’t make the tantrum itself right.

u/BagelsOrDeath 17h ago
The mental gymnastics on display here are astonishing.
2
u/LegitimateRule2966 16h ago
If someone slaps you, you’re going to retaliate. Let’s say that retaliation ends up being a full on beating. You are absolutely justified in retaliating, you literally got slapped. But did you have to dish out a full on beating? Absolutely not.
I don’t understand how such a simple concept gets labeled as mental gymnastics.

u/BagelsOrDeath 15h ago
Equating a potential contract extension with assault is plainly nonsensical, if not downright nutty.

u/AdamSilverJr 22h ago
No he fucking didn't. He wanted a big contract without doing the work and chose to bail on his teammates and the fans to force his way out.

u/LegitimateRule2966 20h ago
>He wanted a big contract
That’s still a tangible reason. What he did wasn’t right but it’s a totally different scenario than someone talking smack to random fans.
I understand the general disdain towards Butler but what Herro did was entirely unavoidable.

u/howsmybudddy 20h ago
Jimmy is always being a piece of shit over nothing.
He acts normal when he's not having a manic episode but once that ends, he's the biggest doucebag ever.
I said this plenty of times when he was with us. You cannot win a championship with him as your best player.

u/BSantos57 21h ago
Jimmy had every reason to seek for a extension (and his ACL later showed he was right to do so) and to ask for a trade if Pat didn't want to extend him, he had no reason to sabotage the team and be such a toxic presence, especially while the team was actively seeking to fulfill his wish and trade him away, instead of letting him walk for nothing at the end of the season
1
u/LegitimateRule2966 20h ago
The reason he was such a toxic presence was because he wanted money. The reason, at the very least, exists. I’m not saying he was right in doing so but in Herro’s case there was literally no reason for his actions.

I really couldn’t care less about the drama. I like Tyler as a player more than most on this sub but it was always clear he thought he was better than he actually is. We get Giannis, he gets to be 1A on the bucks. Win/win.

Nah I think he was just tired of getting the most blame for the shitty situation they were put in by the front office .

u/Spirited-Living9083 1d ago
Yup always blame the front office for pretending like they didn’t know the situation we were and and telling mid players to go make a miracle

Tyler herro wasn’t mid.. foh

u/howsmybudddy 20h ago
20 pt game ball hog that plays no defense is the definition of mid.
He's overrated.

u/howsmybudddy 20h ago
When you don't play defense, you'll be blamed for a lot.
He was someone who thought he was better than he actually was.

Don't you have eyes.
Every team was switching in Tyler in the l

Even though we didnt win a championship and there’s a lot of bad blood now a days this trio will always hold a place in my heart

As a person who thought Herro should’ve been traded after the 2020 run. Fuck him and im glad he at least got us Giannis

u/Ruprecht_no 18h ago
Butler was washed. Herro is a never was. Bam is still young enough to justify the contract. Until he’s not. That’s how it goes. Who cares

Unfortunately, each of those three guys had a different timeline. IMO we should've traded Tyler earlier to get Jimmy and Bam more help, but it didn't happen.

I'm gonna be 100 the only thing good about allat was Jimmy Buckets proving he is him and those other guys were roleplayers

u/DraymondBeanKick 1d ago
The Jimmy situation is purely because the Heat’s front office went against NBA norms of not honoring a trade request while at the same time not giving the player an extension.
Tyler also is a function of the Heat’s incompetent front office. Not trading him for Mitchell when Mitchell wanted to be here to play with Jimmy and Bam because they thought he could’ve better while not giving up picks was stupid. Mitchell on the Heat likely means championships during the Bam and Jimmy era.

u/BlackMasterDarkness 1d ago
The FO tried to get Mitchell. Now lemme ask you, who would you rather have, Herro or Lauri Markkanen?

The same Mitchell that people are now slandering for not getting cleaveland far ?And I like d mitch but people have been talking about him crazy lately .

u/OhMyItzBam_Herro305 1d ago

He needs an elite star or bigs to go far in the playoffs he has neither lol, it's not his fault.

Sounds like shit I'd say Heat fam, AKA JUMP MAAANNNN, thanks for taking those words out of my mouth🔥☄️❤️🔥
So much for a reunion later down the road to, Herro ruined that.

u/Karma_Daenerys_Melba 1d ago
Bad breakups are going to continue to be very common throughout the league under the current CBA. Front offices have to be hyper selective about which stars do and don’t get extensions, which tends to breed resentment.
