Jimmy Butler, the latest addition to the Golden State Warriors, seems to be dribbling into some murky waters off the court. Our guy, fresh from a trade with the Miami Heat, is facing a lawsuit hotter than a summer day in Miami, courtesy of Five Star Marketing and Promotions, Inc. Apparently, Butler couldn’t quite handle his rent responsibilities for a swanky Miami Beach crib he overstayed.

Filed on February 26, the lawsuit claims our star player stiffed the company for a cool $260,000, yep, that’s a lot of avocado toast. That entails two months of rent post the lease expiration in August 2024, during which Butler allegedly would owe double, about $130,000 a month, if he hung around any longer. Spoiler alert: he did!

There’s more! According to court documents, Butler left the luxurious dig in shambles, with damages racking up to a staggering $127,282. We’re talking mold issues (hello, health hazards!), damaged drywall and flooring (now that’s a design choice no one asked for), an unmaintained pool (goodbye, summer parties), and an HVAC system that’s out of whack. We can only imagine the state of that place.

This whole debacle becomes even juicier as it’s alleged that Butler, through his “chief of staff” (because heaven forbid he handles his business directly), decided to change the locks and deny the property owner access. Bold move, Jimmy!

In total, Five Star is coming for Butler’s pockets, demanding $257,282, rent dues and damages, minus a nice security deposit cushion of $130,000 they can conveniently use. Meanwhile, Jimmy is keeping radio silence on this legal mess. Spoiler alert: there’s no court date scheduled yet in the Miami-Dade County circuit court. Guess he’s dribbling, but not quite out of this fix.

So, while Butler will have to handle his court game off the court, we can just hope this whole saga doesn’t get messier than it is. For now, let’s raise a glass to him learning that with great power comes great responsibility, or at least the need to pay your rent.
