On "To The Baha" podcast, Pinson compared the Miami Heat Butler deal to the Mavericks’ infamous trade with the Los Angeles Lakers that saw them pass on Luka Doncic. According to Pinson, the Butler trade was "by far" worse.
"Jimmy Butler was Heat culture. Regardless of what the f*** you thought he was doing off the court, that motherf***** brought toughness. He brought a mentality," Pinson said.
"He had leadership. Bro, I swear to God, it did not matter what seed the Miami Heat were, if they got in the playoffs, any team that played them didn’t want to see him and had to buckle the f*** up."
The Heat have been struggling in recent weeks. They suffered an 8-game losing streak with a recent loss against the New York Knicks.
The Warriors have been dominant since acquiring Butler, boasting a 14-2 record in games he's played. His leadership and toughness have made an immediate impact, fueling Golden State’s rise.
