00:00Speaking of what Anthony Slater said, by the way, they specifically talked to him about Jimmy Butler. Here's what Slate said

00:07It's worth the conversation because what Jimmy Butler can and has been in the playoffs, right?

00:11It's very you can trust if healthy he's going to

00:15Bring it in the playoffs and you know, if you if the Warriors are at a desperate point

00:20You know in this like late stages of the Steph Curry era

00:23It's a it's a curious thought to at least bounce around right the idea of Jimmy Butler

00:28Draymond Green is Steph Curry in a playoff series should scare an opponent now you mentioned the financial aspects of all this

00:34I mean, there's a reason Jimmy Butler and the Heat are kind of in a little standoff right now, right?

00:38You know like Pete don't really seem to want to extend him

00:40He seems to want to be extended that seems to be why they're a breakup might be coming

00:44So if he arrives he'd arrive hand out, right?

00:47You know

00:48He has a 50 million dollar player option for next season that he's signaling he wants to decline because he wants to sign bigger

00:53Longer-term money and that's you know, that's scary at this stage of his career and and beyond all that

00:59I mean you mentioned it just because of what the money is and in the situation the Warriors are in it would probably cost

01:04I mean, it would definitely cost at least Andrew Wiggins plus, you know, the Heat are probably gonna want to come in

01:08Yeah, put Jem ski. They were very interested in pajam ski prior to the draft. Do you listen to what Anthony is saying right now?

01:16He's saying it'd be expensive I have a problem with only one thing and it's his first sentence was probably worth the conversation

01:23Well, it's worth the conversation because if you get in the playoffs is what he was saying

01:27And you've got Steph Draymond and Jimmy Butler as your top three other teams are gonna have to pay attention to that

01:34Who else is on your team?

01:36Well, probably not Wiggins. Okay, and most likely not pods. Okay, and the

01:43Of Anthony Melton, okay, it'll be coming to or pods is what I heard him say

01:47I don't think it'd be coming and pod just in Miami likes pods and and and he just said that that if you get Butler

01:54He would arrive here with his handout which made Bonte go

01:57Me too Bonte, right? What are we talking about?

02:00Why is this interesting to people because you want to maximize the Steph Curry window and you're bringing in a player who is a cold

02:08blooded killer in April May and June

02:11Almost single-handedly carried an undermanned Miami team who was an eight seed to the NBA Finals

02:17you can't look at Jimmy Butler and

02:20Disrespect what he does as a big game plan at all

02:23I'm disrespecting the fit in terms of what this would mean for this organization

02:28Jimmy Butler is a phenomenal player. Is that alluring if I were just I don't know playing NBA 2k

02:34And I could have Butler and Steph and Draymond sure that's all kinds of fun

02:39But if Mike Dunleavy juniors shown us one thing as a general manager

02:43It is that he's going to have the patience to not destroy the organization in this desperation to get help for Steph Curry

02:51I I get it maximize it be desperate to a degree, but don't be stupid

02:58I mean Jimmy Butler at age 35 with his handout in exchange for one of

03:04Your very good young assets along with Andrew Andrew Wiggins and

03:10Draft capital like I don't know man. I just I don't I don't see it

03:16I don't see how this makes any sense to me if the Warriors are gonna get a big guy like a big name

03:24It's gonna be next summer

03:25It's not gonna be I don't I just I don't see that this it doesn't add up right now. That's too expensive

03:32Depending on what you do with Jimmy Butler in the offseason and if he does come with his handout

03:37And you don't want to extend him then either he opts in or if he chooses to leave well

03:43Then you have that 48 million dollar salary slot that you can then use going out there into free agency

03:48So it doesn't become an empty move even if you have to part with you know

03:54Kaminga and or pods and I'm not saying the Warriors are giving up on pods

03:58But right now he's falling a little bit out of out of favor

04:01And so you know if you bring in a guy who's gonna help Steph and Draymond in the next couple of years

04:06At least this year. It's something you definitely have to have a conversation about all he's saying yeah

04:12I I just I don't see it

04:14I hear your point about having a lot of free agency dollars to play with next summer

04:18My response to that would be for who?

04:21Like that's wonderful to have dollars

04:23But Steph Curry's got like maybe one or two years left after this one

04:27You better have a very specific person in mind who you're gonna use those dollars on I don't want 48 million dollars to spend on

04:33just because

04:35Who who is the big fish that you're targeting you know what I mean like that that to me?

04:41That's interesting, but I don't

04:43Who's that person?

04:44I don't even know who would be available next offseason that I would want to go shop with 50 million dollars for

04:50Um

04:51Giannis is not a free agent. You know I so I don't know Bobby and Los Altos on Willard and Dibbs hi Bobby

04:57Thanks for calling

04:59Hey, thanks for taking the call first of all if the line is three. I think that's

05:06crazy

05:07Given that the Rams have a you know

05:11Kupapuka shout-out shout-out Mario card

05:14Healthy I can't believe the line is three with our depleted team

05:18And that seems like a fade the Dibbers

05:21Type of pick so I'm excited to see if he's gonna decide on that but

05:27It's Koopa Troopa that was a good effort you got a three because I did laugh

05:31But it's not Koopa Pooka, but it was a good effort

05:34Speck on his name. It's poking the cool. He's talking about the Mario

05:40Receiver let me make a fun of his name poking the cool

05:45Come on man guys give me some credit. I said

05:49Koopa Pooka you got credit a reference to Koopa Troopa I

05:54Wasn't I wasn't confused about that was a three. It was a stretch, and you got a three continue Bobby oh

06:01Dibbs I need I need more

06:04Adulation from you from that I'm a needy person, but look

06:09Aren't we all yeah, it'd be an adulation sensation

06:15Okay, so as it relates to Jimmy Butler look, I don't think anyone doubts that he's a dog

06:21But I mean do we remember Jimmy Butler from his Minnesota Timberwolves days when he was shaming players like cat and

06:28Wigs and was extremely toxic. I think if he's the dog of the team he's great

06:34But I cannot even imagine how toxic he would be

06:38With with Dre and with curry on his side so no way even if they gave us money

06:44I would not take him and it's not because of his performance is because of fit now that being said I know this trade will

06:50Never happen, but I would trade everybody to get up to to Kumpo

06:56Can you imagine we tell us to Kumpo?

06:58Hey

06:58You just stand and all you can do is your NBA two three step dribble drives

07:03And when you get doubled you kick it out the tray

07:07Curry who's sitting in the corner just a spot-up shooter is a

07:13three-point percentage would be like

07:15750 it would be amazing to watch and I'd give up the future for something like that

07:20But obviously nothing like that's gonna happen, but please Jimmy Butler come on

07:24Let's play out this 10-man rotation experiment before we just wreck everything

07:29Bobby thanks appreciate it

07:31Like I actually reject the point that Jimmy Butler would automatically be toxic with Steph and Dre

07:38I don't think that at all he wouldn't be talking

07:40You know the reason why he did what he did in Minnesota is because those guys are

07:44SOFT and that's why he took the third stringers and said get your best five out here

07:49I'm about to whoop that blank

07:50And he did whoop that trick and he went out there and he whooped them

07:54And that's why he was considered toxic because he was the only one in Minnesota out there trying to win games

08:00Yeah, I mean Steph and Dre are too strong for that plus. They're Jimmy Butler type of players those are dogs also

08:06You know you're pointing out Wiggins

08:07Well, he's frustrated everybody here too with sometimes the way he coasts Carl Anthony Towns fell out of favor in Minnesota as well

08:15Just got traded, so I like I reject the idea that he'd be toxic

08:20But I'll I'll accept for me the idea that that it's just not the right thing to do

08:25I just think the money is a problem

08:27Everybody's gonna want coming and he only makes seven million

08:30So that means you got to throw a bunch of other stuff in there, too, and it's too expensive

08:35Hi, there are a lot of warrior fans that wouldn't give up coming alone for Jimmy Butler. You're gonna have to give up a bunch more

08:42You're gonna have to give up Wiggins and a pick and and another player like Wiggins and coming

08:48It's still not enough financially

08:51Wiggins Melton GP 2 and pods

08:54For Butler and Nicola Jovich not Nicola Jokic Nicola Jovich an important letter that works

09:01It's a four for two, but you'd be trading pods and his team-controlled salary you'd be trading Wiggins

09:08Melton's contract and

09:10GP 2 who's expiring
