00:00Tears K86 is Tobin versus Joe Cronin. Oh Joe Cronin has to be howling this week
00:05He beat the heat and then Damian Lillard dropped all those all those bombs on Miami
00:13Sometimes the bad guy wins. I don't know what to tell you not suffocating dogs
00:21What are you doing
00:23Meanwhile
00:25Unless it was a terrible showing mighty heat though. Yeah, it was a terrible show was and when the game started
00:30Here's what they do. Here's what they do now to me
00:33Every first quarter the game starts and I'm like, uh-oh. We ball in the night
00:39and
00:40now we not only have a
00:43third quarter
00:45But for some reason it has leaked into the second quarter going into the half
00:51Yeah, and the heat have been really bad defensively this month
00:54I'm sure Jimmy Butler being in and out of the lineups has not
00:58Done that any favors?
01:01From a connectivity standpoint
01:02I do like the idea of BAM and where and I do not want to move off of it
01:08But I do think that's gonna take some adjustment because BAM is that you know back line of communication for everybody
01:14So you wonder how that's that's gonna take a little bit of adjusting to of getting things going
01:18But also I do think from a defensive standpoint, I think when you shoot what do they end up shooting last night from three?
01:24I mean it was
01:27Horrific. I mean, I think that that Gary Trent was
01:31Yeah, yeah, Gary Trent was was incredible. But like from the heat standpoint, I think
01:36They shot like 23% from three yesterday
01:39It was insane like they
01:42Good looks
01:45Twenty three point five percent thirty four of ninety two yesterday from three-point land. Sheesh
01:56What the hell Duncan was three for twelve Tyler was four of thirteen
02:03Terry Rozier over for
02:07Kalel two of seven
02:09Meanwhile
02:12Damian Lillard five of fourteen Gary Trent seven of ten
02:16Well, it was a tough one to watch for sure
02:19That even warm up. Oh, man. I know I mean they warmed up
02:24It was the first three minutes when the heat were up twenty to five
02:27That was their warm-up
02:30Pretty much that's what happened
02:33The other thing with the Jimmy Butler news, so this was weird yesterday
02:37Jimmy Butler, is there anything in this situation that could be considered weird?
02:43All of it, but that's what no I'm saying like when you get to it a certain point
02:49Like as where we are right now with the Jimmy Butler thing
02:53Like the only thing weird you could say to me is is Jimmy Butler and he made up and he's gonna stay
02:59Okay. Well this the reason this is I guess I use the term weird. It's just it's it's just funny, right is
03:06So yesterday there was this just throwaway line again from Marcus Spears on
03:12ESPN NBA Today
03:14Where he says the only place Jimmy Butler doesn't want to go is
03:20Memphis
03:21It's the only place he doesn't want to go. Why?
03:25Yes, I don't know where he would fit better than the Suns
03:29It I mean from a basketball standpoint seems to make
03:33the most sense and
03:34you know the way that that would fit but I
03:38think that
03:39The reason he doesn't want to go there and the reason that he wants to go to
03:43Phoenix is because Phoenix is gonna pay him and I don't think Memphis is Memphis is maybe even looking
03:48This is like a rental
03:49Like just bring him in and hope he opts out. Like we will see if we can bring him in for the stretch run
03:54But he said yesterday
03:55I was told today from someone close to the situation that his wish list is just out of Miami with the exception to Memphis
04:01He does want to finish his career wherever he goes
04:06So my question is is is why
04:16Why is he
04:18Like does he not think that?
04:22He's turned a lot of these teams off to
04:25warning him
04:27because of how he's
04:29Played and acted the last six months
04:33Um, yeah, I'm sure that's turned off a lot of teams except for one
04:37Right. Well because because what did he say? You're only as good as your options
04:43Yeah, and and so like they're looking at do we want to pay Jimmy Butler?
04:4850 million or do we want to play Bradley Beal 50 million? So that's that's how they can justify this
04:56Brian Winters
04:57Said today the Grizzlies are lurking in Butler trade talk sources said and have been in contact with Miami during the process
05:04Sources have theorized if Memphis can acquire him for the playoff run and also free up cap space this summer
05:10That's where their interest might lie
05:12So none of that is about extending Jimmy Butler, which would tell you why he's not interested in going to Memphis. And so
05:21It still remains that he only wants to go to the but like the thing would be interesting and I don't know what this is
05:26The gamble that Memphis would want to take if he did go to Memphis if they did trade for him
05:29If we all just said hey be damned the heat they get off of Jimmy Butler
05:33You know, they don't have you know much money to take back or whatever
05:38From that standpoint does Jimmy show up to Memphis, right? That's that's what I'm saying
05:43I'm like like on one side of your mouth. You're saying anywhere but
05:48Here and then on the other side you say but I have a list of teams I won't go to right it's not anywhere but
05:54here
05:55Does he have beef with Justin Timberlake?
05:58No, I think they were hanging out this summer in Sweden. Yep, and Timberlake's part of Memphis, right? He is. Yeah. So what's the problem?
06:08There's only
06:11Okay, we know what the problem is the money but
06:15Only one team that would extend him
06:18Because they're already putting that money into Bradley Beal, right? I don't know really another situation for that
06:23Did you see inside the NBA and I'm Shaq and Barkley and Kenny going at it?
06:27I was Shaq was representing the player side even though and I and I respected that he took the player side and
06:34Because he's done the same
06:36similar thing so he's he was expressing how he would look at it and
06:40Charles and Kenny looked at it the way Leroy and pretty much everybody else is looking at it
06:46You want a contract for two years from now?
06:48Like you you're you already signed your contract you're going to get paid for this year next year
06:53You should honor it when you have a hundred million dollars guaranteed for two years. I
06:58Understand everybody makes a lot of money in this league, but it's not gonna garner a lot of sympathy for why you're not playing hard
07:04But it's just it's just not I don't have a problem with Jimmy being upset that he didn't extend him
07:10I don't have a problem with any of that right get as much money as you can
07:14Where I fall and where I get I have an issue with this whole thing is
07:19You told you was gonna come out and ball. You did not yeah, okay, and now
07:26You're refusing to play and earn the money
07:29They're paying you this year because they won't pay you two years from now
07:33And you don't want a hard thing to swallow for me and the other thing that's hard to swallow is like, okay
07:39You don't want to go to the number two three team in the West like
07:43Wouldn't everything that would shut up about anybody paying you would be be on an incredible team go on an incredible postseason run
07:51Who wouldn't then give you your your sweetener deal like by the end of that, right?
07:55Like someone's gonna do it if you are able to take the Grizzlies to the Western Conference finals
08:01You don't think somebody's gonna pay Jimmy Butler that extra whatever the hell he wants in the offseason. So
08:07That has been the thing that's been
08:09The most interesting about it is I'm like Jimmy basically seems like he has gone about this. I have found my sucker
08:16I have found my big fish. It is in Phoenix. I want to get there
08:21That's the most important thing to me not proving it to anybody else. I feel like I've proven all I've had to prove
08:26I don't want to prove anything else now that I have a guarantee or a wink-wink guarantee from somebody else
08:31That's where I want to go
08:32But if you really wanted to go prove it you could have done it this year with Miami like Pat Riley told you to you
08:37Didn't want to you feel some type of way about it. Okay, fine. You won't do it with a team
08:41That's very clearly in line to contend
08:49He didn't do anything to help
08:53Facilitate the trade he wanted and that is by not playing you raise more questions
09:01By other teams who may have been interested and maybe given Jimmy that extension
09:08Which I don't think there were very many. I
09:11told you the only reason why I think ones do it because they're looking at is it would you rather have Jimmy Butler for the
09:1660 million or the 110 or would you rather have Brad the view and they're like we're paying it
09:22Anyway, let's get Jimmy Butler. That's it
09:31Hmm it just give you
09:34Yeah, I was all right. I'm sorry. I was looking at something
09:38To do with your mouth. I was clearing my throat
09:40Okay, and you were yackety-yack and so I was clearing my throat and then I got distracted by this picture online
09:47This picture is I don't know what I don't know if this is real or not
09:51Okay, okay
09:53Apparently there's a picture going around right now from something
09:58What is this this is this is today
10:02It's it's something called enjoy
10:06Basketball enjoy b-ball. They have a photo
10:10This is from at Drew Starr who's like number one
10:13Trey rumor aggregator on heat Twitter and they retweeted this photo. It says Jimmy Butler is in New York City today serving coffee
10:22and it's Jimmy Butler in a winter coat and
10:27Heat take on the Nets tomorrow
10:30Is he gonna pull a WWE and buy a ticket?
10:33See, I like that, but you know, no, no, no, don't say that because we all thought he was gonna do that in LA
10:38So I did that in New York. It's not we can't say it's not out of the realm of possible. He hasn't done it
10:43Yeah, he hasn't pulled that card yet, though
10:46So you might not want to be
10:49If you're if you're suspended
10:52Mm-hmm. Are you allowed? I know some in some sports if you suspended you're not allowed in any arena. I don't know
11:00Hmm you might be rightly right? I don't know. Maybe he goes Bobby Valentine mustache
11:12And by the way
11:14You think Jimmy Butler's following rules right now
11:18right
11:20Jimmy but what if Jimmy Butler just drops it on the Nets broadcast?
11:24So I'm talking to Richard Jefferson
11:29I would guess Richard is not a fan of
11:34Not playing for the money you making now
11:37shock was supporting Jimmy that
11:40I
11:42mean, it's hard to
11:45See I get what Shaq is trying to do and I kind of preface my whole argument when I have it is
11:52I'm all for a player trying to get as much money as possible
11:58But also doing it while earning the money they paying you now
12:04This is not the last year of your contract
12:06Right this year and next year. You're guaranteed 100 100 million
12:12So that's your starting point
12:15to get mad at a team
12:18Because they wouldn't pay you after the contract by not playing
12:24And it just doesn't feel right, you know what I mean
12:30Like it's not like it's not like football
12:34Football, you don't have these guaranteed contracts. No
