Spolstra" spanking" them again is noth,n new either"
Jimmy was a great player, but now he is just a good player. And he is NOT worth $60 million+ a year. That is just crazy talk. So now the Warriors are left holding a $120 million bag for the next 2 years. Those that say scoring isn't everything --- I agree. Jimmy can be impactful without scoring. But NOT for $60 million a year. Riley did the right thing. 1- He got rid of a malcontent that was on the decline and taking up over $50 million in cap space. 2- He gained a younger player (Wiggins) at half of Butler's salary who will impact the Heat more than Butler would have from here on out. 3- He gained a nice little PG who can impact the game with his defense and tenacity. 4- He gained a couple of draft picks which they sorely needed.
Those that defend Jimmy say that he should have gotten paid because of what he had done for the team. He DID get paid. TWICE. Next year he would have been one of only 6 players making over $50 million a year. That wasn't enough? Gimme a break. They also say that Riley didn't give Jimmy help. How the HELL could he when there was no money left for another star? They tried to get Lillard, but Portland wanted to rape the Heat out of spite. They ended up getting less from Milwaukee. We dodged a big bullet there because Lillard wasn't going to make a difference. Last year he was mediocre. This year he is better, but now he has blood clots. Remember Chris Bosh? We signed a washed-up Lowry to appease Jimmy. That signing KILLED us. We could have kept Dragic, who was a scoring machine and was being paid a fraction of what Lowry was paid. The Heat did everything in their power to make Jimmy happy. They even limited his minutes. They just didn't cave to his every whim and attitude. But like Mick Jagger said: "You can't always get what you want."
Isn't it funny that now Jimmy is playing every game? The Heat spoiled him. GOOD RIDDANCE. Mark my words, the Warriors will rue the day they gave Jimmy that contract.
One more thing about the losing streak: They were DECIMATED by injuries. At one point during the losing streak, they were missing FOUR STARTERS. Wiggins has only played a few games because he missed a lot of time also. In the NBA, when you bring in so many key players in a trade, it takes a long time for the team to establish cohesiveness. And despite all this, during the losing streak, they were still beating the crap out of much stronger teams before folding in the 4th quarter. They could have EASILY been 7-3 instead of 0-10. Go watch the games. Hell, even tonight they were missing their best 3-point shooter (Robinson), and their most versatile player (Jovic). So, NO Shannon Sharpe, the culture is NOT dead.
And Moody was TRAAAAAAASH.
