Wade complained about Butler, who made $60 million in annual salary like this, it s not a mistake for the Heat to not want you

The Golden State Warriors have been eliminated from the playoffs by the Timberwolves. For the Golden State Warriors, it is already very good to reach the second round of the Western Conference in the 2024-25 season. For example, the Lakers led by LeBron James were stopped in the first round; the Phoenix Suns led by Kevin Durant missed the playoffs.

However, the Golden State Warriors can enter the playoffs entirely by trading to win Jimmy Butler. Before the All-Star Game, they were ranked 10-12th in the Western Conference. After Jimmy Butler joined the team, their record suddenly soared, and at the end of the season, they ranked 7th in the Western Conference.

All these changes are related to Jimmy Butler's outstanding performance, offensive and defensive attitude and desire to win. Overall, it was Jimmy Butler who saved the Golden State Warriors this season. Without him, the Golden State Warriors would have a high probability of missing the playoffs, let alone entering the second round of the playoffs. However, in the series that ended in the second round of the playoffs, Stephen Curry was injured and Jimmy Butler failed to stand up like he did when he was at the Miami Heat, which was also criticized by many fans and media.

No, recently Wade also talked about Jimmy Butler. Wade said, "I don't like the way he treats the game. I know Jimmy is a pass number one guy. I know he wants to pass the ball to his teammates. He wants to see them glow and heat. But when you get $60 million, that doesn't work. He won't look at the basket, I've seen this on the Heat jersey."

" When Pa When Te came out, he said we didn't want to renew you, it's not always an injury, I need to see what you do in every moment. We saw Jimmy in the bubble season, he was a dog. I saw Jimmy in another Finals vs. Nuggets, and he did the same thing that night, he didn't attack the basket! "

Wade, as one of the Heat legends, played with Jimmy Butler, and still knew the opponent very well. He said the real reason why the Miami Heat would rather trade Jimmy Butler than give it a big contract.

That is Jimmy Butler likes passing balls, and he likes that his teammates can stand up and score and defend, and help the team together. However, when teammates are in trouble, he does not have the ability to truly carry the team forward. In the fifth game of the Western Conference semi-finals, he only made 11 attempts and scored 17 points.

The Golden State Warriors gave Jimmy Butler a two-year, $120 million contract, but after Stephen Curry was absent, he did not take the initiative to take on the responsibility of the team's offense, but instead focused on defense and passing. Jimmy Butler led the team to the finals twice, which is indeed incredible, but the team needs him to stand up and score and cause damage to his opponent. Perhaps it is because Jimmy Butler is already 35 years old, he is prone to injury and his competitive state is not as good as a few years ago.
