Why Pat Riley’s Jimmy Butler trade tops Nico Harrison’s Mavs blunder.
Theo Pinson, former NBA player turned podcast host, isn’t holding back when it comes to the Miami Heat‘s decision to trade Jimmy Butler. On the March 18 episode of his To The Baha podcast, Pinson dropped a fiery take, arguing that Heat president Pat Riley made a bigger blunder than Dallas Mavericks GM Nico Harrison did with Luka Doncic‘s trade to the Lakers.
“That is a worse trade than Dallas and the Lakers, by far… Jimmy Butler was Heat culture. Regardless of what the f*** you thought he was doing off the court, that motherf***** brought a toughness. He brought a mentality. He had leadership,” Pinson said, per NBACentral on X.
Conference Finals run in 2022, proving he could turn any playoff seed into a nightmare for opponents.
Bro, I swear to God, it did not matter what seed the Miami Heat were-if they got in the playoffs, any team that played them didn’t want to see him and had to buckle the f*** up,” Pinson added, emphasizing Butler’s grit. That’s high praise for a guy who averaged 17.6 points on 54.7% shooting this season before heading to the Golden State Warriors.
