Drimon Green He was running to court for the sake Golden State Warriors‘ A match against Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday when he discovered a correspondent in an interview Jimmy Butler In the hallway.
Green stopped. Petrler gave a warm embrace, flashing a wide smile. Then take off again.
“Like this, man, this is what you want to go to war,” Patel told Fox SPORTS while Green Green shaved. “F-the King’s dogs that do not give a curse and do anything that requires victory.”
Petler looked really excited to be warriors after a day Miami Its circulation, and ends a confrontation for months between him and the heat that included his suspension three times. It is expected to make Warriors for the first time on Saturday against Chicago.
Green is equally pleased with partnership. He was consulted by the Director General of Loreriors Mike Denievi Junior about the warriors who follow Bater, and gave his blessing without hesitation.
“Everyone is afraid of men who have some ST,” Green told Fox Sports. “But the men who do not have ST do not win.”
Batller is a controversial star.
He led the heat to the emergence of two of the American Professional League finals and achieved a name for himself by brilliance in the largest stages, and he won the title of “qualifiers” Jimmy.
Warriors Bater landed after a failed attempt to return the Phoenix Senz star Kevin DurantWho won two championships with Golden State in 2017 and 2018. When Green was asked if he was surprised by Durant’s decision, he told Fox Sports: “No, not at all. It is logical in the world.”
In conjunction with trade with Miami, Barter agreed to extend a two-year $ 111 million during the 2026-27 season, and his option of $ 52 million will decrease next season.
Bitler joins the Warriors team, which won four titles in eight years of 2015-2022, but has since fought, as he was eliminated in the second round of the qualifiers in 2023 and lost after last season.
Currently, warriors occupy the eleventh position at the Western Conference No. 25-26.
Bater wanted a new start. Another star Warriors wanted the 36 -year -old Steve Curry To ensure that the end of the Carrie tail does not dispel.
Warriors believe this is their chance to be great again.
Carrie Bater described as a winner, adding: “When the risks rise, it rises to this occasion.” “I think it will fit properly,” added the Woriors Steve Care coach.
Green did not hesitate when asked if he believed that Bater could make the heroes of Worms.
“I think so,” Green told Fox Sports. “Obviously, we should put it together and discover it. But I definitely think this puts us in competition at the highest level – 1000 percent. You have a chance to get one of the 20 best players in the American Professional League.
This is definitely: No team will be in a hurry to face Carrie, Green and Bitrler in a seven -match match.
“We will bring hell to many people,” Bater told Fox Sports.

In this season, there was wither that Bater did not show enough effort with heat.
It is an interesting point of disagreement for the player whose image was the most durable when he decreased at the top scorer table in exhaustion after the 5th match of the USA 2020.
At that moment, it was an example of effort.
Jimmy Bater Miami led the American Professional League, including in 2020 against Los Angeles Lakers in the bubble
Batrler is unable to determine when things began to collapse between him and the heat.
“I don’t know exactly what happened, but it happened,” Bater told Fox Sports. “I have exceeded it so far. I have exceeded it for some time. I know what was happening. I know what they were doing. But the only thing you can’t control is the way someone else sees.
“[The Warriors] Look at me as a high value man here. They think I can help them win. This is what I am stuck. This is what I want to do. “
It is clear that Bater did not feel appreciated in Miami.
The first hint of the fissure raised his head in the past, when the team leader Pat Riley expressed uncertainty in May’s granting the extension of the contract this season.
Betr felt, undoubtedly, not to respect this. He scored 40 points eight times in the post -season. Take the eighth categorical heat to the finals in 2023, including a 56 -point masterpiece against Milwaukee in game 4 of the first round series.
He felt that he had a profitable gesture, which was suitable for his production.
At that time, Riley described the extension as a “big decision” for “someone will not be there and every night.” Bater was absent at least 18 games every season since joining the team in 2019, where he was sitting due to injuries, comfort and various other reasons.
Riley’s exception to Petler’s saying in an interview with social media in the end of the season, that the heat would have been hit by Boston in the first round series if he was not wounded. “If you are not on the field you play … you must keep your mouth closed,” said Riley.
Things continued to acidity this season, and reached its climax in Bater, asking to trade. He felt appreciated and his role in the offensive end decreased dramatically.
Its average reached 17.0 points in field goals attempts 10.5 this season, and the lowest mark in both categories since his third year in the league in 2013-14. Its use rate of 21.6 has also its lowest level since its third season, and behind the other two stars of the team, Tyler Hiro (27.6) and Pam Adibayo (23.1).
However, Bater was launched at an altitude of 54 % of the field.
The tensions reached its climax in early January when Brtler said he lost his joy on the field after a match against Indiana. When asked if he could recover her, he added: “Maybe not.”
A day later, the heat was suspended for seven games due to “a harmful behavior of the team.” He returned to three games before commenting again after he missed a team trip. His third comment came after he left the training early after he learned that he would get out of the bench.
This time, the suspension was not specified.
When he was asked why he lost his joy, he did not hesitate to Petler.
“I am not able to be the player I know that I am able to be frankly,” Bater told Fox SPORTS. “My time has come and my time went there. That’s good. There is nothing wrong with it. I’m today, so I’m very grateful.”

There are two copies of Bater.
When he is happy, he is the most difficult job player on the field, able to carry a privilege on his shoulder alone.
When he is unhappy, it is known that it makes life very uncomfortable for its privilege.
Initially, it looked as if it was appropriate in Miami. However, in the end, clash with a well -documented heat culture. It was established by the Iron’s Riley fist, and includes the principles of self -denial and discipline.
Bitler is known as his discipline, but he also loves to do things in his own way.
Now, there are questions about how it is suitable with warriors, who have their distinctive culture, governed by a mixture of Carrie and Green Fire.
It can be Bitler Mercury and difficult – it is definitely strange. He made his own coffee in the American Professional League bubble and selling it to the players for $ 20 for the cup, and it is a joyful endeavor for the player who gets more than $ 34 million at that time.
After that, on the media day on September 2023, he appeared with EMO look at dwarf correspondents, straight hair, eyebrow holes, black lipstick, and black nail polish.
The options of the media day style in Butler have become a legend in recent seasons
Inside and outside the court, a unique Petler. He is a personality, but also frank and frank, not afraid of summoning executives, coaches and teammates, a role that Green assumes against the warriors.
When Betrler was in Chicago, he called the new coach Farid Hoyberg, saying: “You have to bear everyone.” In Minnesota, director Scott Liden told, “You need me, Scott. You cannot win without me.” In Philadelphia, the hierarchy challenged the “big three”. In Miami, he made it clear that the team did not get high -level stars to join him, such as Damian Lilly.
When Petler feels upset or that those around him do not coincide with his intensity, things tend to violate very quickly.
But warriors are not concerned about his workpiece.
“You choose a thickness, right,” Green told Fox Sports. Oh, Jimmy can be a little difficult? Because he wants to win? I will choose to deal with this difficult [rather] From dealing with a man who just wants to appear, appear and go his day. He will do everything that requires winning. This is what we need. “
Curry, likewise, is not worried.
“He is a dog, he is a winner, and the idea that he has a lot to prove him in the new situation,” Carrie said. “He is excited to help us, and we are excited to help him. He has a certain style at the moment I think we lack the feeling of creating the shot, the ability to reach the line, and control the property of your half.”
As for Bitrler, he only looks to start again.
He missed 19 games from the last 24 games in Miami, including 14 of the last 17 games due to the comment, which cost $ 500,000 per game. He has not played since January 21, when he spent his time away from the team, training and with his family.
Battler claims that he has not disturbed all the noise around him in the past few months.
“I don’t care,” Bater told Fox SPORTS. “I don’t care for people to speak. This is what people are supposed to do. When they don’t know what really happens, you are supposed to speak. It is assumed that you are predicted and assumed to guess. I am happy because I had the opportunity to play basketball again.
As for the visitors, they hope that this step will be placed on top of the league again.
“The best version of myself is what this team needs,” Petler told Fox Sports. “This is what I will be.”
He has his joy.
He is ready to remind everyone of Jimmy Pateler again.
