Jimmy Butler on Warrriors’ radar?

When asked what his message is for Heat star Jimmy Butler when it comes to outsiders doubting whether Butler can again lead the team to the NBA Finals at 35 years old, Wade said Monday: “Showing people you still got it, I don’t think he needs to concern himself with that.” Instead, Wade feels that Butler “needs to figure out this team this year and how he’s going to be the best version of Jimmy Butler for this team.” “Roles change and you got to find that role and you got to find that comfort,” Wade continued. “So right now, we’re watching a team finding themselves and Jimmy has to find his role on this year’s team. It’s not the same as the first year when he got here. The personnel is different. He’s different, he’s older, as well. Miles are adding up. But he’s smarter as a basketball player than he’s ever been.” -via Miami Herald / October 29, 2024
