00:00Now, here's the latest on the Jimmy Butler saga, okay, for those who have lived under
00:06a rock, they suspended him on Friday without pay seven games, which would take a, which
00:13was the last home game.
00:15That's basically a million dollars a game for the amount of games he's played.
00:18It was, I believe it's like it, it, it, it, for whatever reason, it, it ventures out to
00:242.5 million.
00:25I thought it was like a $4 million fine based on his game checks, but I guess it's not a
00:30pure just per game check the way that it works.
00:34And they've already filed a grievance.
00:35The players associates already filed a grievance, but that doesn't stop your suspension.
00:39They still go through this bench and eventually it all gets settled.
00:42This has happened with Kyrie, Ben Simmons, James Harden, you know, those, those types
00:47of usual suspects.
00:49Right.
00:50And you notice the, you notice the names that you just mentioned, right?
00:56Does that say, tell you all you need to know?
00:59So the heat suspended him.
01:01He was not there on Saturday night.
01:04God.
01:05Did they, I mean, he true true or false.
01:07I don't think Jimmy Butler watched the game, but when he found out what had happened, he
01:12was howling with laughter.
01:14Yes.
01:15Yes.
01:17One, they got, although based on the way he's been playing, it wouldn't, what is he laughing
01:24at?
01:25I don't know.
01:26I mean, just the, you suspended me and Pat Riley had to sit there and watch his team
01:28give up a hundred points in three quarters to a seven win team.
01:33There are pictures that look like he's sleeping.
01:35I can get, I will not, I will not accuse Pat Riley of sleeping, but there are pictures
01:39that very much look like he's sleeping during that game.
01:42I didn't see him sleeping.
01:43I saw him there with Alonzo morning, but, uh, you know what, if he was sleeping, I don't
01:48blame him.
01:49That was one of the worst basketball games I have ever seen.
01:52But now here's the interesting thing.
01:56Last night, uh, Anthony Chang, Ira Winderman, uh, are saying the Miami heat are putting
02:04a plan in place for Jimmy Butler's return after these seven games.
02:12If they cannot find a trade for Jimmy Butler, they're preparing to try and figure out what
02:18they do when he comes back.
02:21And I look like they're going to find a trade for him.
02:24It doesn't seem like there's like, there was some weird stuff over the weekend where like
02:28there was some weird movement on the Grizzlies betting line, which I don't know who's betting
02:32on Jimmy Butler future teams.
02:35Um, it does appear very much like, and I, and I don't want to just throw accusations
02:41out there.
02:42It appears the Phoenix suns are bullying Bradley Beal.
02:47Like they're being very mean to him.
02:49It appears he's been frozen out by Devin Booker and Kevin Durant yesterday.
02:54He's always heard yesterday, Chris Haynes comes out and says he's being demoted from
02:59the starting lineup along with Nirkich.
03:02And apparently there is what, what Haynes refers to as tension in the locker room because
03:07they've stunk.
03:08I mean, you know, but why does Jimmy Butler want to go there?
03:12Because their owner is very rich and he will pay Jimmy Butler whatever he wants.
03:16However, the heat are not taking back Bradley Beal.
03:18So they need to find a third team.
03:20There's some stuff out there.
03:22There's some mechanisms of maybe a Detroit.
03:25I've seen a Detroit, Tim Hardaway, Jr.
03:28Tobias Harris back to the heat with picks.
03:30They take on Bradley Beal.
03:32They lost Jade and Ivy and the, uh, the sons get Jimmy Butler.
03:37Now this all is prevalent on Bradley Beal has to wave is no trade clause and say, I
03:41want to go play in Detroit.
03:42Now he did play in Washington.
03:44So you mean he's been some bad on some bad teams, um, and they, and they're not awful.
03:49They're not Washington wizards bad right now.
03:52And it appears though, what they're trying to do, I don't want to accuse anybody.
03:56It appears that locker room and that team is trying to shame him, trying to shame him,
04:02shame him.
04:03And let me just say, Bradley, you stand tall, my friend.
04:08I don't feel like you need to say yes to anything.
04:10Wait a minute.
04:11Wait a minute.
04:12Whoa, whoa, whoa.
04:13Stand tall.
04:14Bradley, you do realize that you can't get what you want.
04:23If all these other things don't happen, I gotta be honest with you.
04:28I feel like I'm rooting for chaos at this point.
04:32You already have chaos.
04:34You might be right about that.
04:35You already have chaos.
04:37You got Jimmy, Jimmy chaos.
04:39So what, what, how much more chaos could you want?
04:44I now want to see what it's like if he tries to come back and honestly, Leroy, no, no,
04:53no.
04:54You, you, what's you come on this show and you make fun of all the dysfunction on other
05:03teams in any sport and now you're rooting for it for the heat.
05:09Yes.
05:10I want to see, are you, do you not feel ashamed of yourself?
05:16The thing that you had made fun of and laughed at and mocked all the years we've known each
05:24other is the chaos and the mis, um, and, and the, just the stuff going on with other teams.
05:33The dysfunction on other teams.
05:35I now you're rooting for it for your own team.
05:37Here's why.
05:38Can I say why?
05:40Because you guys lost by 36 points to the Utah jazz without Jimmy Butler.
05:45So if you guys are going to put out that performance, then I'm just here for interesting.
05:50And you want to know what would be funny.
05:52Jimmy Butler suspension being up, no trades happen and he has to come back and either
05:56one, I guess, sit on the bench.
05:58I don't know what he's going to do.
05:59Or do him and Spell have to make amends.
06:03And I just want to see what happens.
06:05I'm kind of curious.
06:06I don't know.
06:07We don't know.
06:08It could happen.
06:09No, it couldn't.
06:10I mean, it might happen.
06:13You're you do you, first of all, you're talking about two stubborn men with their heels dug
06:21in and that's not even talking about Pat Riley.
06:27I'm just talking about Spo and Jimmy.
06:33Why does he do this?
06:34Oh, no chance.
06:35New Year's.
06:36Same him.
06:37Same him.
06:38I'm sorry.
06:39I had to sneeze.
06:40Talked for the last five minutes.
06:41I realize nobody can hear you.
06:43It wasn't five minutes.
06:44It was two words.
06:45You're you're laughing.
06:46It wasn't.
06:47It was you're laughing.
06:48What do you have ventriloquist now?
06:49I think I'm telling you your lips move for the last five minutes.
06:51No words came out ridiculous.
06:53That's that's such.
06:54Oh my goodness.
06:55You're the worst.
06:56Here's what I think.
06:57I think Pat Riley and Jimmy Butler, that bridge is burned.
07:00Okay.
07:01It's not getting fixed.
07:02Spo ain't going to save it.
07:04Spo is a maniac.
07:06He's able to compartmentalize.
07:08If it's just hoops, it's just Spo.
07:10That's what he can do.
07:11If he truly felt now, will Jimmy actually play basketball?
07:14I don't know.
07:15I mean, they got his word last time that he was going to come back from this illness and
07:20he didn't try.
07:21So the guy you said he's going to make up with, I think, well, let me just let me explain
07:31something to you.
07:34What little coaching we know?
07:36What little about basketball we know?
07:38Where's the one spot you're not going to put Jimmy Butler?
07:44If you know his skill set, standing in the corner, but he chose to do that, then why?
07:51No, he said the coaches.
07:53That's my role.
07:54He also said he was sick.
07:55Yeah.
07:56He also said he was sick.
07:57Yeah.
07:58Well, well, okay.
08:00So what leads me to believe, let me just say this leads me to believe that this situation
08:08has only come to a head now, but has been going on for a while, right before Jimmy got
08:15the bubble guts.
08:16Agreed.
08:17Okay.
08:18So convenient bubble guts were the worst bubble guts in the history of bubble guts.
08:25We're going to go on a month of Jimmy Butler, basically not playing with these, with these
08:30seven games suspension on top of the seven game BGs.
08:34We're going to go on that many games where they were just trying to figure out a trade.
08:38Hey guys, here's my thought.
08:40The trade isn't coming for either one of you.
08:42None of you are going to get what you want here.
08:45And your only way out of this is finish the year together and Jimmy ops out.
08:50So don't you guys like very clearly over this, this, they got, they feel to their calls.
08:56Brian windows is saying that he don't, don't like their hand, which why would they, if
08:59I was a GM, why the hell would I give the heat anything knowing what they're dealing
09:02with?
09:03Okay.
09:04If you're the Miami heat and you're Jimmy Butler again, I come to, isn't the best situation
09:13for you to play as good as possible?
09:15So somebody wants to pay you.
09:19One would think one would think other than this crazy son's owner, which is my, which
09:24was my whole point the whole time, which is why I thought Jimmy would ball out when he
09:29said I ain't worried about the contract.
09:31No, well, he didn't know.
09:33And guess what?
09:34If you don't ball out, you can still opt in for 52 million.
09:37Right.
09:38And he didn't ball out.
09:39He lashed out.
09:40Right.
09:41So, so what makes you think?
09:43And I'm going to say this because you know, you, my guy, yep.
09:47Think of Steve's he crammed together and do stuff.
09:52What in the hell makes you think Jimmy going to come back and ball?
09:55Cause there ain't nothing.
09:58There ain't nothing that he's done.
10:00That was suggest that when he told you he was going to do that previously to this situation.
10:06What if he has found out that the temperature of paying him money, you're asking a guy to
10:16be aware that has never been aware.
10:22That's fair.
10:23Like you know, this ain't listen, I, I put this perfectly before we, before all of this
10:35before the suspension, before everything, Jimmy's going to be Jimmy.
10:39Pat is going to be Pat suppose going to be spoke and they all go, they all go get dug
10:47in and ain't nobody going to move because everybody in all those three parties feel
10:53this I'm in a position in my career where I don't have to budge for nobody.
10:58Yes.
11:00But I think the one who would be more, who's going to give in though?
11:03I think Spo is the massager because I think he's just the same age.
11:08You think, wait, you know, the, the basis in which Spode lives is you earn it.
11:18Of course you earn your right to be on the court.
11:22Now if Jimmy comes back and you just throw them in there for 30 minutes, what are all
11:30those other guys going to say?
11:32I don't know.
11:33So, so as a coach, if you give into this, right, you give into this, what does Colo
11:43going to say?
11:44I don't think he's going to say anything really, really, really.
11:48Okay.
11:49I think Nico misses him.
11:50Okay.
11:51That's fine.
11:52All that is fine.
11:54Okay.
11:56Because all those other guys could love Jimmy, but this has got nothing.
12:03Tina Turner was love got to do with it.
12:07Nothing.
12:08Kevin love.
12:09No.
12:10The love that you have for Jimmy and don't have nothing to do with this situation.
12:13What are you looking at me for a frog boy who the hell is controlling Kevin loves Instagram
12:18because he is on a streak.
12:21Let me tell you something about the, uh, the, the, the old, the old.
12:25They don't care about trolling on Instagram.
12:27They're just ha they're just, he's not playing basketball.
12:29So he's just like, I'm not a good time.
12:31He was in the locker room after Tyler's, uh, address.
12:36I'm like a little bit too much fun, Kevin, unless Kevin's trying to mend fences.
12:40What if he's a fence mender?
12:42That's what you have to show me a situation where any of these parties had a change of
12:54heart and this situation would get better.
13:02I just think you think sport based on what, look, the heat, want wins, wants you want
13:08to happen.
13:09I understand.
13:10But here we go.
13:11The heat, want wins and Jimmy wants money on how does either one of those things happen
13:14without each other?
13:15Jimmy wanted the money before and he got mysterious bubble guts.
13:19He thought, okay, he, he got mysterious bubble guts and then he came back and he lashed out
13:22and he thought this will get me traded.
13:24And it hasn't.
13:25It got suspended.
13:26You said he wanted money, but correct me if I'm wrong, 25 points a game, seven rebounds,
13:36five assists or get you your money.
13:41Is that not how he plays Jimmy Butler basketball, it would get him his money and lashing out.
13:46I don't think that's helped that.
13:47Well, like who, who's going to go, because we're in a position now where I believe Jimmy
13:54thinks like, forget I'm 35, I'm a baller and pay me, but ain't nobody seen it.
14:01And how long do there's a, we got to take a break, but there's some more reports out
14:05there.
14:06People aren't that keen on them.
14:07Like the market.
14:08I don't know why.
