Jimmy Butler versus New Car theory... Which scenario do we prefer? Do The Heat want the Butler's service?

Transcript

00:00The cream of drinks, baby, right on the go.

00:04Maybe that's Jimmy Butler's problem.

00:05He's been hitting the coquito and eggnog this holiday season,

00:08and that's why he can't play.

00:08All I know is this.

00:09If the man misses another game today, all of a sudden

00:12he has a Miami open flu, because that's a safe thing

00:15that happened last season.

00:18Remember?

00:18I think one of the things that has us in this position

00:24is that you can't control injuries.

00:29So when you take days off and then get hurt, right?

00:35You have those days back.

00:36Right, exactly.

00:37So I think that had Jimmy, and I don't know if this to be true,

00:44if he is hurt that much, that's a whole nother question,

00:47a whole nother situation.

00:50But if he's taken some days, you know what I mean?

00:55I could go, but I'm not.

00:57And then you really get hurt.

01:00What, he hasn't played 60 games in how many years?

01:02Leroy, a DMP is a DMP no matter what way you stand.

01:05Right, but how many, how many, how many,

01:08he hasn't played 60 games in a minute, right?

01:10Oh, never.

01:12So you understand all the things that you're talking about?

01:18When we start talking about the facts of this situation,

01:22you're not helping your case.

01:26So you talking about doing this for a guy who hasn't played 60,

01:30they trying to get guys to play 70 games.

01:33He hasn't played 60.

01:36So how do you, but I want to say from your standpoint,

01:39because I get, look, I get people love Jimmy and I'm not,

01:43look, I'm not going to deter you from that.

01:47When he's on, he is, it seems like unstoppable, OK?

01:52But when you talk about the amount of games that he's played, right?

02:00Does that play into like, oh yeah, you think you just,

02:04he just saving it up for the play.

02:06Man, when you get older, you can't save up nothing.

02:09No.

02:10So like, does that play a role in this?

02:13I think the Miami Heat organization is going to look at the best offer they can

02:17get and see if that's worth, you know, worth the squeeze.

02:20No, I'm asking you, Jimmy.

02:23You Dan, I keep him.

02:25I've already told you I keep him.

02:26You keep him.

02:27With everything included, yes.

02:29With all the craziness, with all the-

02:31You just want to sound good because I could put that,

02:35I could put those same situations in a real life situation,

02:39like with a car or something like that.

02:42And you would be rats off a ship quickly.

02:45So are you rats off a ship right now, Jimmy, right now, Leroy?

02:48I think they need somebody who's going to play.

02:51So you're rats off a ship, hopefully, of Jimmy.

02:53I mean, you got to be.

02:55Yes.

02:56I've asked the question, it's just a yes or no answer.

02:58I want, I thought when this season started and he started the season, I'm like, uh-oh,

03:03we getting, we getting that Jimmy, right?

03:05And then you start missing games.

03:08So we back to the same.

03:10Every year is going to be the same.

03:11Here's the thing.

03:12I don't know what games he's going to miss.

03:15Is it going to be the games that he determines are important or not important or the games

03:20that the Heat determined are important or not important?

03:23Like there's this whole thing that you have to ask yourself with when you see the team

03:30playing and how they're playing and how much they need Jimmy and don't have Jimmy.

03:40Like these are all things that at some point it gets to the point where you're like, yeah,

03:47we want him on our team, but he's not really there.

03:51He's not when we need him.

03:54So what do you do with that?

03:55I don't know.

03:57I don't know what the reasons are.

03:58I don't want to, I don't know what the circumstances are, but I do know this.

04:03He's 35.

04:04Yes.

04:05Like for you to keep thinking that you're going to be able to get the rejuvenated 30

04:10year old Jimmy, you're being crazy.

04:14And that's all I've ever said about this is that 35, I don't know what y'all think.

04:20Just like they thought, oh, at 40, Tom Brady did it.

04:24Aaron Rodgers could do it.

04:26Oh, I'll give you another one.

04:29Kirk Cousins, Aaron Rodgers could do it.

04:35Tom Brady could do it.

04:36Kirk Cousins could do it.

04:38No.

04:39I mean, if it wasn't for the old is old nastiness of Aaron, his numbers aren't pretty bad for

04:45a guy coming off of injury, but nonetheless, this is about Jimmy.

04:48So Leroy said, no, he's done with Jimmy for right now.

04:53Dan, you want Jimmy back?

04:54Jfig, do you want Jimmy gone?

04:56You shouldn't be saying I want Jimmy back in the middle of the season.

05:00That's the whole point.

05:05Do I want him back or saying, well, do you, are you willing to part ways with Jimmy now?

05:11Or do you want one more run?

05:12I don't want him gone.

05:13There you go.

05:14But you know, he's like, but are you understanding the fact that unless it's an NBA championship

05:21run, Jimmy's pretty much, pretty much gone.

05:23I get that.

05:24I get that.

05:25But would you rather it be after the season than within a season?

05:29Because the fear is you do it after the season, you don't get the goods and some of the assets

05:36that you would get.

05:37I can't put, I can't put the, I can't put the scenario into real life consequences because

05:51if I take this same situation and put it into something personal, right, I think we

05:58would feel differently about it.

06:03And, and I'm like, I can look at it for what it is.

06:06Like if you did it with a car, if you did it with, with any, with, with something that

06:13is in your own personal life, right, you would tend to look at this a little bit differently.

06:20But when you say 52 million, you say, Oh, the owner got money.

06:27You're not like, so let's think of it this way.

06:31Not my money.

06:32You, you have a, you have a car, right?

06:36And you rode this car and this car has been great to you.

06:41But then your car started having problems.

06:43You spend 500 here, you spend 1500 there.

06:47And now you've had this car for five or six years and it broke down on you again.

06:53And you have a choice.

06:55You can spend 2,500 to fix the car, or you can put 2,500 down on a new car.

07:03In most cases, you're going to, it's giving you a lot, but you cannot, you cannot go tomorrow

07:11spending $2,500 hoping that it lasts when you can just get a new one.

07:17That car got you, you know, help you landed you, your girl helps you get the job, right?

07:23Your apartment, all that, but 2,500 is 2,500 and that's our car to hard cash that you're

07:30going to put on a car that's five or six years old and you can get a new one.

07:37What if that new one's a lemon?

07:39You can return a new one.

07:41You can't return that old one once you put that 2,500 into it.

07:45And we send Jimmy Butler somewhere and we're like, Oh no, no, no, we don't like this anymore.

07:48Send him back.

07:49No, there's no reverses in those trades, right?

07:52You might get a car that might not be, wait, here's the deal.

07:56You do know what you got with Jimmy Butler, 35 year old, you, you might be able to get

08:03a car that you don't even like as much as the car you had.

08:09It might not have the, you know, this car, you know, I used to get this out of it.

08:13I used to get the gas mileage out of it.

08:15I used to get all these things, but you know what?

08:18The one thing the new car going to give you?

08:21That new car smell.

08:22Transportation.

08:23Transportation.

08:24Transportation.

08:25All right.

08:26You ain't got to worry about whether that car is or isn't going to get you where you

08:30need to go.

08:31I don't know, Leroy.

08:32I don't know about that.

08:34All right.

08:35We've got Jimmy Butler.

08:36And of course, to give you more issues to say.
