Butler's Agent Calls Shams Charania's Report 'B*****it'
Agent Bernie Lee posted a string of posts on X in response to a report by ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania about his client's potential moves.
"Alright listen," Lee wrote in his first response. "I gave you a pass yesterday because I was busy but if you don't stop putting my name on your complete and utter madeup bulls-t because you know you normally aren't worth my time to acknowledge."
Lee continued to push back in a second post on X.
"I don't know what I'm going to do because I'm a middle-aged dad but just know it would indicate severe dislike," he wrote. "World... all this is fabricated. I have never and honestly it wouldn't help me or the position I represent to do anything that's been reported by said 'journalist.'"
Charania Defends His Reporting
On Tuesday Charania reported that Jimmy Butler had a list of preferred destinations in the event that the Heat wanted to move him ahead of his upcoming free agency this summer. The list initially included the Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets, and Dallas Mavericks. The following day, Charania took to X claiming that the Phoenix Suns were added to the list and named Butler's agent, Bernie Lee, by name as the source of the whispers about Butler's preferences.
Charania appeared on First Take and doubled down on his information being valid.
"I 1000% stand by my reporting. It's fully vetted. And as a professional, that's what I do, that's what I get paid to do... report truthfully and accurately. That's what this is. Period," Charania said on First Take.
