What happened between Shams Charania and Jimmy Butler’s agent?
Recently, there has been some tension between NBA insider Shams Charania and Jimmy Butler’s agent, Bernie Lee.


Recently, a significant rift has emerged between renowned NBA insider Shams Charania and Jimmy Butler’s agent, Bernie Lee. This conflict came to the forefront when Charania reported that Butler was open to a trade to the Phoenix Suns, among other teams. Lee quickly took to social media to vehemently deny these claims, accusing Charania of fabricating the reports.
Lee’s response was not just a simple denial; it was a strong rebuke. He criticized Charania for spreading what he described as “complete and utter made-up” information. This isn’t the first time Lee has called out Charania. In 2021, Lee similarly accused Charania of false reporting regarding another situation involving Butler.
