Jimmy Butler trash talking KAT.

[Lord Z]

Jimmy Butler doesn't care how tough of a year KAT has had. During the game you can hear Butler talking trash and Butler tells KAT he's "soft as a baby's a__" and "I punked you"... wasn't joking either. Bomani Jones was saying Butler cannot stand KAT and doesn't care what he's went through this year.

Fightin' words. KAT going to have to do something about that.

 

[KentuckyCat420]

Love KAT, but he is “soft as a baby’s a$$” on the court.

Same. Very skilled basketball player just doesn't have the grit or fire.

I love KAT but no one gets a free pass just because they’ve had a “tough year.”

 

[jwheat]

Sadly KAT will never win at that level

 

[Bigblue2023]

After reading some of the stories that have come out about KAT, I'm 100% on Butlers side. He's had a tough year and sounds like a genuinely good guy, but he's he's horrible teammate.

Jimmy Butler may be a good basketball player, but he is a POS as a human being

 

[Pulaski Cat Fan_rivals377587]

Id love to have seen Butler pull that **** with Magliore.

 

[STL_Cat]

Id love to have seen Butler pull that **** with Magliore.

That’s just it, Butler wouldn’t have pulled that **** with Magloire. He wouldn’t have felt that way about Magloire.

We all feel bad for what KAT has gone through over the past year but Jimmy Butler’s feeling on KAT far pre date the COVID year. Jimmy is a killer and he’s not going to let up on KAT out of pity.

 

[STL_Cat]

4 years ago KAT was ahead of the Greek Freak and AD on many “who would you start a franchise with today?” lists when GMs were asked the question. Now is he even top 10? You have to ask yourself why have GMs changed course so much on KAT. That’s not Jimmy Butler’s fault.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

Someone fill me in on why KAT is a poor team mate; or why GM’s would not want to start a franchise with him? I don’t follow nba closely enough to know this? I knew some considered him soft, but I’ve never actually watched his team play. Not one time. If I watch nba - it’s usually Heat, Lakers, Jazz, Nuggets, Knick’s, pelicans, Clippers. These are my 9 year old sons favorite teams. Someone give me info? Please..

 

[Blue Wildcat]

Different upbringing. Jimmy grew up hard. Go read the dudes story, pretty remarkable that he made it to the NBA. Those that come up this way have difficulty with the privileged. If there is a silver lining, I believe Butler saw what we all see in KAT, the talent is there but he doesn’t have the personality/killer instinct to lead an organization to a championship.

 

[rick64]

In pro team sports, if you're perceived as being "soft" players will try to use that to gain an advantage.

 

[irishcat1965]

Interesting thoughts on someone who averages 25 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists a game.

Nobody said the guy can’t play.

Yep.

 

[irishcat1965]

Getting 10 rebounds a game isn’t indicative of a player who is really soft imo. Put Karl on a contending team and I think he is a big help. Put Butler on the Timberwolves roster and he doesn’t win ****. No matter how much of a bad *** he thinks he is.

 

[Yardeth]

KAT just needs to continue to play his game and banking money. Jimmy can talk crap but he is the one always getting traded for attitude issues.

Hell, Butler is on a good Heat team and still technically hasn't won ****.

How many championship rings does Butler have? KAT led us to 38 straight wins and while we unfortunately lost one game it wasn’t because of KAT. And please notify me the next time any college team wins 38 straight. Won’t happen.

 

[Nubb16]

I love everyone acting like KAT doesn’t have ‘it’ simply because he’s not leading one of the worst franchises to ever exist to titles. The dudes averaging 25/11/4 and still getting trashed. Anthony Davis with New Orleans is a prime example of being stuck in a **** hole until he got on a good team.

How good do you think Jimmy Butler wouldve done on that team without Karl Towns there?

Butler has been on 3 teams in the last 3 seasons and has had issues with every damn one of them. The Heat aren't looking as good this year and now, like clockwork, Butler is starting to show signs of imploding again. By this time next year he is likely on team #4. Dude is just a ****** person and a ****** teammate.

 

[STL_Cat]

I don’t know, but I know Jimmy Butler continues to win where he goes and the only time KAT has won was with Jimmy Butler on his team.

 

[TigerMoving]

KAT is only 25 years and has made 2 all star teams already. His story is far far far from over

 

[LEDGENDARY]

I don’t know, but I know Jimmy Butler continues to win where he goes and the only time KAT has won was with Jimmy Butler on his team.

What's Jimmy won?

 

[catzfanjim]

Butler is a POS and if he didn’t play in the NBA he would be in prison.

 

[STL_Cat]

To be clear I’m a KAT fan, but Jimmy Butler is not alone in the league in calling him soft. It’s going to be up to KAT to change that narrative.

 

[Nubb16]

Jimmy Butler is a good player. So typically when he goes to a team they also have at least one other really good player which makes that team better. KAT is a really good player, but he relies on a dog **** terrible franchise to put good players with him.

 

[STL_Cat]

What's Jimmy won?

Eastern Conference Finals?

Different makeup of the roster. And without Towns not on Butlers team, they wouldn’t have won 25 games. How do you not see that?

I’m not alone here. These thoughts on KAT are pretty widespread around the league. Again, it’s going to be up to him to change that.

That is nonsensical. Good grief man.

 

[STL_Cat]

I don’t see how this is nonsensical when it’s 100% accurate. It’s what NBA guys around the league say and think.

Either put a competent roster around Towns or trade him to a contender and then you will have your answer. Put Butler on this team and take away Towns and they haven’t won 15 games.

Once again, anyone including Lebron would struggle on that roster if Towns wasn’t in it.

Maybe, maybe not. All we know is what’s happened. NBA guys are not in love with Towns right now. Maybe he needs a change of scenery.

 

[Mad Max]

Why doesn’t Jimmy tell us about the playoff games he won in Minnesota?

guess he isn’t that good.

KAT needs to get outta there. Minnesota has killed more careers than I can count...

 

[Nubb16]

Maybe, maybe not. All we know is what’s happened. NBA guys are not in love with Towns right now. Maybe he needs a change of scenery.

It’s pretty easy to dog a guy who has only ever played on a bad team/organization. There’s only maybe a handful of guys in the league that would’ve led those Timberwolves teams to a better record if you replace them for Towns.
