"This is the only thing you need to know. ...Jimmy Butler's number one goal is not beating the Nuggets tonight, not that he doesn't want to beat them; it's not scoring 30 tonight, not that he doesn't want to score 30; his number one goal is to be traded, and his actions will be aimed at getting himself traded, preferably to the Phoenix Suns. Period. That's number one."
Hmm. So if beating Denver helps, he'll help get the dub; if losing to them helps, he'll help that. If scoring 30 helps him get traded, he'll do it; if not scoring 30 helps him reach "his number one goal", he won't score 30. It's 78-91, 3:19 3Q. Jimmy has 14 pts, 2 rebs, 2 asts, 1 turnover in 26'.
The "Heat" have never been in this game and will never be in it. Help or hurt? Doesn't look like he's going to get 30. Same question. The problem with Windy's "This is the only thing you need to know." is that it provides no answers in evaluating Jimmy.
I am not watching the game of course but I was following it. The play-by-play reads like a team that is disjointed. They read like a team that was taking a deep breath of fresh air when they were on their road trip and now are back breathing the same bad air again.
