The internet keeps on giving. What started as a mutual discontent between Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat has turned into a meme fest. The trade market is already messed up, and it seems like DoorDash is trying to help Butler in between.
Heat superstar Butler has openly said that he wants to exit Miami. He requested to be traded anywhere as he had lost his joy at the camp. However, there has not been any significant development in his trade status. Recently, DoorDash, the giant food delivery platform, took a humorous dig at Butler’s situation.
“Now that you’re unemployed, let us know if you need a free DashPass subscription. The extra savings will come in handy,” the brand’s official X (formerly Twitter) account tweeted while tagging the Heat star.

Although Butler’s ongoing struggles have been quite public. He has received multiple suspensions this season and that is impacting his availability for games and his paycheck. With each missed game, he loses a staggering $532,737, which only adds to the drama surrounding his status. However, DoorDash continued its troll and also tagged Butler’s teammate Kevin Love in the post.

Before DoorDash poked fun about Jimmy Butler’s unemployment, he had already faced it once recently. Butler found himself the subject of a playful jab regarding his current “unemployed” status while making a payment.
In a now viral video, Butler was seen a little embarrassed after his card declined while making a purchase at his BigFace coffee shop. The incident took place against the backdrop of Butler being suspended indefinitely without pay.
Despite the seriousness of his situation, Butler kept his cool by taking it all in stride.
“You’re currently unemployed, so your card doesn’t work, sir?” a voice was heard from the background in the video.

Additionally, his latest suspension, stemming from his abrupt exit during practice, has left his future with the team uncertain. And as the NBA trade deadline looming just days away, the jokes and puns keep on pouring.
As the speculation around his future in Miami intensifies, fans are left wondering if Butler might soon don a different jersey. With reports hinting at potential trade discussions, this phase could be pivotal for the six-time All-Star. For now, though, Butler remains at the crosshair of the internet trendsetters.
