Jimmy Butler Reportedly Had Plans To Meet With Lakers & Clippers

Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat are currently down 0-2 in the NBA Finals and with Game 3 going down tonight, they are in a must-win situation. Teams never come back when down 3-0, and considering just how strong the Lakers are, this series isn’t looking too good. Regardless, Butler is confident in his group and he will be making sure they put in a big effort tonight.

According to Sam Amick of The Athletic, Butler was almost on the other side of the NBA Finals. As he reports, Butler had plans to go and meet with the Lakers and Clippers following his Rendez-Vous with the Miami Heat. However, he loved the Heat so much that he ended up signing soon after.

Per Sam Amick:

“During the July 2019 free agency period in which he fell in love with the Heat culture during that storied Miami meeting and decided so quickly that he was all in with Pat Riley & Co., a source with knowledge of his situation said the next two meetings on his travel schedule were with the Clippers and the Lakers in Los Angeles. A source with knowledge of James’ thinking said Butler had the respect of the Lakers people who mattered most — James among them — but the Lakers chose to prioritize Kawhi Leonard above all else before he signed with the Clippers and were thus delayed in their process.”

Regardless of the situation, we’re sure Butler is happy with where he is now. This young Heat team is undeniably his and over the course of the next few years, he has an opportunity to do something special with them.

NNORDY steps into jazz fusion with latest release “Wrong Turn”

NNORDY’s latest release, “Wrong Turn” is a fully live jazz fusion album that showcases the limitless possibilities of instrumental storytelling with the remarkable chemistry between guitar, keyboards, bass, and drums. The song has no words but is an excellent story told through musicianship and sets the stage for listeners to embark on a rich jazz experience.

“Wrong Turn” shows the strength of live performance from the get-go. Each instrument feels alive and in conversation with the others, a dynamic dialogue that develops organically over the course of the piece. Without vocal guidance, each musical phrase is left to speak for itself, giving the listener the freedom to interpret the track in their own way.

The guitar and keyboards often lead, crafting complex melodic lines and textures that give the music direction and atmosphere. Meanwhile, the bass and drums lay down a solid rhythmic base, creating movement and momentum while still leaving a lot of room for exploration. NNORDY creates a track that both dedicated jazz fans and listeners looking for something adventurous and fresh will enjoy. “Wrong Turn” shows that instrumental music can be as expressive and compelling as vocal music.
