On Tuesday, Jimmy Butler’s agent, Bernie Lee, ripped Shams Charania, calling the reporter’s Butler trade rumors “utter made up bulls**t.” Lee added in a separate post that what Charania said was “fabricated.” The ESPN star hasn’t responded to Lee’s outrage on X, formerly Twitter.

Jimmy Buckets talked to reporters on Thursday and had this to say about the feud (via Zachary Weinberger):

“I f**king love it. I’m all for the back and forth. … I feel for him [Lee]. At least somebody’s sticking up for me.”
