 | | Chris Haynes: Pat Riley and Jimmy Butler did not communicate with each other for several months17.03.2025 |
Pat Riley and Jimmy Butler have not talked since last season. I think that Jimmy made additional comments later on the same day or next. This is exactly what Pat Riley had in mind when he said something like: if you don’t play, you probably should be shut up.
Obviously, it hurt Jimmy. He believed that the situation went too far. Both sides recognized the need for a personal meeting to clarify the situation after everything that happened. Jimmy suggested that Pat was going to visit him in the offseason at his house in San Diego. Jimmy even told him about this, but the meeting did not take place. Pat never arrived.
They did not communicate - neither text messages, nor phone calls, nor personal meetings - until January 1, when the hit was invited to Jimmy to the office. At that meeting, they doubted his effort, suggesting that he did not give up one hundred percent. From the end of last season, until that moment there was no communication between Jimmy and the team, ”said Insider Chris Haynes.
