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.

After taking several jabs at Damian Lillard, Jimmy Butler has found a new target. He called out his Miami Heat teammate, Kyle Lowry while playing in a mini-golf arena in Miami. Butler shared a video on his Instagram saying, ?It?s for you Kyle.? Followed up by a smooth put. Butler was hyped after making the shot, ?Told you man, Y?all think it?s a game?? Jimmy is competitive on and off the court and would love to take out anyone, even if it is his own teammate. Jimmy finally seems to have diverted his attention from Damian Lillard?s trade to Milwaukee. He took over the internet after Lillard?s trade.
First, Butler warned the NBA about Lillard?s trade to investigate for tampering, ?Yo NBA, man, y?all need to look into the Bucks for tampering. You do. I?m just going to put that out there.? Then, the Miami Heat star showed up to NBA Media Day in a new ?Emo? look, leaving the NBA World in splits. Jimmy claimed he was ?emotional? and did not want to talk about it.
Butler also took shots at the Milwaukee Bucks franchise after the trade, ?I?m more pissed off that [Damian Lillard] went to Milwaukee because he went to Adrian Griffin?s team. Everybody knows I don?t like Adrian Griffin at all. Since my Chicago days.?
