Jimmy Butler is having one of the craziest fallouts with the Miami Heat. With him asking for a trade openly, the Heat placed him on a seven match ban. Unfortunately, as soon as he came back, Butler once again found himself amidst yet another ban. Thus, with the situation getting tense, several personalities have made their opinions known about the fiasco. Likewise, Jimmy Butler’s former teammate, Victor Oladipo, also gave his two cents on the matter.
Oladipo last donned the Heat jersey back in the 2022-23 season. Now, speaking on his former teammate, the former NBA star did not seem amused at how things have panned out for Butler.
“It’s just unfortunate that neither side is handling it the way they wanted to be. Jimmy is just doing what Jimmy does. I don’t think this a shocker to anyone who’s viewed his career and how he’s carried himself… I just hope he finds his joy 1 and 2 end on good terms,” Oladipo stated via CBS Sports.
