NBA fans are wildly reacting to a tweet about James Harden and Jimmy Butler’s perspectives on trades. Harden’s future away from the Clippers has been long speculated, and trade rumors have been swirling strongly until it was recently reported that the baller will be going to the Cavs.
After an X user tweeted that both James Harden and Jimmy Butler play seriously only when it comes to money, and will not appreciate it if anyone takes it away. While Harden’s future with Cleveland is sealed, Butler’s future is still in doubt after his injury.
“James Harden and Jimmy Butler are out the second you play with their money and if you don’t let them go in timely fashion chaos will start,” kingtisemedia tweeted.

“Everybody love saying it’s a business til a player takes initiative first (laughing with tears emoji)” one fan said.
“Also why it confuses me why Harden would want to go to CLE, wouldn’t that just be a 1 yr move and then a salary dump? CLE so far over the 2nd Apron, would they rlly have interest in Harden long term?” another fan asked.
“It’s called good business. It’s hilarious to me ppl act as if they work for corporations to help the company win awards. Hell na u go to work to make as much money as u can for yourself. If they don’t pay u your worth u move to a better job. But ppl look at pro sports like children. It’s business,” one more fan added.
NBA Fans Continue To React To Tweet About James Harden & Jimmy Butler
NBA fans are continuing to make their opinions known about James Harden and Jimmy Butler’s futures after possible trades. Many fans are also pretty shocked about Harden agreeing to go with the Cavs, especially since it might not exactly be a long-term trade.
“boys looking out for their long term interest in asking for a trade to a team that wants to pay them in the same way the team is looking after their own long term interest by not willing to pay them long term,” one fan said.
“I would hope anyone has the same mindset,” one fan hoped.
“Understandable too. People who criticize nba players for wanting more money are just retarded man,” another fan added.
Nevertheless, James Harden will be now playing for the Cavs after being traded in return for Darius Garland and draft picks. The trade was not just surprising but also shocking, especially since Harden is a decade older than Garland.
