Chris Haynes: I believe he made additional comments later that day or the next. I think that’s what Pat Riley was referring to when he said something along the lines of, “If you’re not playing, you probably should stay quiet.” Obviously, that rubbed Jimmy the wrong way. He felt like those comments took things too far. Both sides recognized the need for a face-to-face meeting to clear the air after everything that happened. Jimmy was under the assumption that Pat was going to visit him during the offseason at his place in San Diego. Jimmy even told him about it, but that meeting never materialized. Pat never went out there. There was no communication—no texts, no phone calls, no face-to-face meetings—until January 1, when the Heat brought Jimmy into the office. At that meeting, they questioned his effort, suggesting they didn’t think he was giving his all. From the end of last season until that point, there had been no communication between Jimmy and the team.
