Jimmy Butler is having a moment since Damian Lillard got traded to the Milwaukee Bucks instead of the Miami Heat. Lillard requested a trade this summer and wanted to take his talents to South Beach to help Jimmy Butler and Co. win a Championship. Unfortunately for Butler, Milwaukee stepped in out of nowhere and paired the 7-time All-Star with Giannis Antetokounmpo. Jimmy has been going through different phases since he lost the opportunity to team up with Lillard. He took multiple jabs at the new Bucks guard following the trade.

It seems like Jimmy has finally taken a break from taking digs at Damian Lillard as he has switched his attention to a $100 Million rich Guard.
