00:00Anthony Davis actually is speedy. Although it doesn't look like he's having a press conference. He's just doing a scrum
00:05And he says on his initial reaction. I was shocked. I didn't know I was actually at home
00:10I was about to watch a movie with my wife and I got the phone call. I had no idea
00:14Now I'm kind of over it just getting ready to play for Dallas
00:17Alright handling it in stride. He's been through trades before
00:21Yet a he had a he had a very public forcing out. Yeah with the New Orleans Pelicans
00:28Meanwhile
00:30Let's get to this the heater back on the hardwood tonight against the Bulls tip off from United Center is set for 8 o'clock
00:35coverage on 560 begins at 645 with preheat on
00:40790 we got the Panthers and Capitals that puck drop is at 7 o'clock for a big-time matchup
00:47But here's the latest Jimmy Butler report. This is from Chris
00:51Hey, are we gonna are we gonna be mad?
00:55I'm a little I gotta be honest with you. I've read it a couple times here and I'm a little confused
01:00To be honest with you, but here's what Chris Haynes writes. All right
01:05sources
01:06Jimmy Butler's camp has repeatedly told the told the heat he's in shape
01:12Healthy and ready to continue his career and move past this immediately
01:18Their messaging to the heat has been to negotiate best deal possible and once in red zone if
01:25Team is granted permission by Miami to speak with Butler's rep to discuss his long-term future
01:31That dialogue would be welcomed to date. No team has asked for permission
01:43Bridges burned
01:45So like am I to read this as
01:49Jimmy Butler's gonna stop the bowl believe if he has to come back and play we follow for that again. Are you kidding me?
01:59Once I said this when this all started
02:04Jimmy is making it extremely difficult to do anything that he wants done. Mm-hmm. And now
02:13Dude we just won't say oh, come on back, buddy
02:19No, his camp has repeatedly
02:23Has told the heat he's in shape
02:27Healthy and ready to continue his career and move past this immediately
02:33their messaging to the he has been to negotiate best deal possible and once in the red zone if
02:41That team is granted permission by Miami to speak with Butler's rep to discuss a long-term future that dialogue would be welcomed
02:49To date no team has asked for permission
02:53however
02:56Jimmy Bernie
03:00Have we not had multiple reports of
03:05Teams that maybe didn't speak seek permission
03:09being told
03:11We don't want to play there
03:13Because you only wanted permission to go to one team and now maybe that team which let's be honest about this
03:19Okay, you guys have tried to squeeze your way to Phoenix. You know what?
03:23I don't even begrudge you that players want to get to where they want to get to
03:28but however
03:31You guys forgot a big loose end, which is
03:35Even the Miami Heat
03:37Have no control
03:39Over the only player they're willing to trade
03:42on if he wants to be traded even if the Miami Heat were held hostage right now and
03:51We're forced to take Bradley Beal for Jimmy Butler. Do you know who it's up to?
03:59Bradley Beal
04:02He doesn't want to probably should have thought about that before you made a stink
04:06Even if the Heat were like, you know what we think we can fix Bradley Beal and you know, we don't want any pics
04:13It's up to Bradley Beal if he doesn't want to go because he loves Phoenix
04:19Mrs. Beal loves Phoenix the baby Beals love Phoenix
04:23Guess what dude?
04:25You should have gotten a no trade clause
04:27But unfortunately your agent is too busy
04:31Fake beefing on Twitter with shams and screenshot and flight information
04:39Damage is done. So
04:42That's a problem. And now all of a sudden you want permission to seek long-term negotiations. Well, I don't know call me crazy
04:50Maybe you might want to call up your boy JT there with Memphis and say see you guys have won 9 out of 10
04:57Maybe I could ball out and help you guys win the West
05:01What a novel concept
05:03But you want to move past it immediately
05:07The Heat to try and move past it, you know what they tried to do
05:10Said your ass is benched for Heywood Highsmith. You walked out of the gym. I
05:15Mean people keep saying like oh, he's gonna make it uncomfortable. He's gonna make it a couple. Okay. Well, guess what guys?
05:21He already tried to come back from a suspension and the Heat said guess what dude? You're not playing
05:26you're gonna be on the bench and
05:28He wasn't cool with that uncomfortability couldn't deal with it Heywood Highsmith over me
05:37So
05:39Great. I'm glad that they're sitting here once we're in the red zone
05:44We want permission that would be welcomed
05:48Unfortunately, dude, you've sat here pissing on your trademark at the entire time because you've been obsessed about getting to a place
05:55That's impossible for you to get to because the guy you have to be traded for doesn't want to be traded
06:01But do tell do tell how the Heat are doing wrong by you
06:05I'm exhausted. I'm literally exhausted with the flippity-flop
06:14It's torture
06:17torture
06:19It's exhausting and he made it very hard to ignore and now he wants to move quickly past it. Yeah
06:25and
06:27Let's all ask this question
06:32Can we believe Jimmy no based on what he said and he's done
06:40Because I gotta tell you no cuz I gotta tell you
06:47Will we kind of be upset with Spoh if Spoh put him back just to see is that there's is there one person out in
06:54this audience right now
06:56That would welcome Jimmy Butler back to play for the Miami Heat after what has transpired
07:01I'll hear you 305 5 6 7 0 5 6 if there's one person. I'll hear the case. I'll hear you out. I'm not rude
07:08305
07:12You're not rude, I'm not rude
07:15There's one person out there who say Jimmy
07:18You got a little crazy
07:20bygones be bygones
07:22I'll hear it out. Oh, here's one. Hey, Ricardo
07:28Ricardo yo, how are you? Oh you uh, how are you?
07:33I'm doing well. Thanks for asking. You're welcome. So would you welcome?
07:39Jimmy Butler back bygones be bygones
07:43Absolutely
07:44Really?
07:46And you know, I've been the the heckler that's called throughout the week
07:50you know in support of Jimmy coming back throughout all of this time and for the sole purpose of
07:58Eventually like, you know, the deadlines coming up and both sides are gonna be like well
08:02Another we could do till the summer when the season's over
08:05So Jimmy you like the ball, right? You want you don't want to lose any more money and stuff go play basketball
08:10Go sit next to Kevin Love and be a disgruntled maniac if you feel like it, but eventually he's gonna get over it
08:16The heat or a playoff team and for some reason he wants to go to a team that's worse than record and in a harder
08:22Conference and are probably not gonna do anything in the playoffs in contrast to Miami
08:27Who's competing is in the zone and they're only getting better and have players to back it up to prove it
08:34So it's it's all on Jimmy now at this point. Maybe give him a week of uncomfortability
08:40You know
08:42And then maybe he'll pull up his pants up and lace it up and then we're right back to it back to work
08:49Very optimistic. You're very optimistic crowd and a very forgiving person
08:53I'm trying I'm trying that that's Jimmy Butler. We're talking about look at everything. He's done for our team
08:58He was Jimmy P. I don't know
09:02Leroy Jim BP. Come on one more time. That was a long time ago
09:10You a sucker
09:13Listen, hey you looking down the tracks and you see those two lights coming and you thinking this time
09:21It's not gonna be a train
09:28Tell me you don't have the feeling that you put yourself out there and you're gonna get and you're gonna fall for the okie-dokie
09:34again
09:36Probably Leroy probably but to be honest with you, it's
09:40We I don't know something tells me if if Jimmy can stay and just get over it himself
09:47There is nothing that tells you Jimmy could get over it. He won't we have a trade
09:56We got a trade
09:58Trade don't do that thing though where you tell me about Juno. So gals just getting picked up. We have a trade
10:04Alright, okay. What do we owe? Oh, what tell me?
10:08the Philadelphia 76 errs
10:11Uh-huh have traded. Oh
10:14for
10:17Quentin Grimes from Dallas Mavericks. Kayla Martin is going to tell his Mavericks Kayla Martin's a Dallas Maverick
10:26Man he was a 76 or for like three seconds. Yeah, I bet it was worth it dude three seconds breaking my heart
10:33Hope it was worth it. Look at everyone who leaves us and everyone was so much juice is doing fine. Is he look at his hair?
10:42He's going through something Javon, what's up, man?
10:45Hey, what up? How are you? I'm good. I'm good, man
10:49So yeah, I am being optimistic like a Leroy say I think Jimmy can come back and
10:55Probably come back as playoff Jimmy in a regular season just to get over there
10:59I think him and a lot of other players have seen that the power have changed right back to the owners and they're trying to
11:06Be on their best behavior now because anybody can get it now
11:10Kevin Garnett got very mad at Jimmy Butler and so did his boy Jeff T because Jeff T has been pretty pro Jimmy and all this
11:16and he had said that
11:17Dude, you're gonna you're gonna send us to non-guaranteed contracts like of this like with stuff like this stunts like this, right?
11:26So
11:29I don't know though, dude
11:32Seems to me the damage is done
11:36I love Jimmy, you know, I was for paying Jimmy, but
11:42You mentioned the players like how are the players respond the players seen plays are done with it
11:46They're done with it
11:47I'm the only guy you're gonna get to do jokey jokes with is Kevin love love
11:51Which I've had enough so you guys could sit on the bench together and get off fire memes
11:55Won't you send that guy but I don't think dude Spoh Spoh hasn't said his name since the joy back press conference
12:02so
12:04Joy, I was Joey Butler. Yeah
12:08What?
12:09Just like that's that's the last wouldn't really say it like that
12:15560 you're on the air. What's your name?
12:19560 you're on the air. What's your name?
12:22Terrence hey Terrence, what's up, buddy?
12:26Yeah, I was talking about the question about Jimmy go ahead I
12:30would um
12:32Welcome him back, but I wouldn't want him back to the locker room. I think the young team that's playing
12:37Yeah, I'm producing. They're showing their talent. I think the chemistry is well BAM is coming out of his shell
12:44I wouldn't want him back in that locker room because I think that was not the growth of everybody in that
12:50In that locker room, I just think they're definitely they got to be over it at this point like the players like
12:56Like how big is it?
12:58imagine this
13:00Pat Riley Eric's posture. They say Tyler BAM come in here
13:07Jimmy's coming back like how like how bad is the eye roll from those two are like
13:15So bad you can actually hear it
13:17It's it's just yeah
13:21How you feeling buddy
13:27It's time to stop the lunch, it's Jimmy
13:33And it's not the jet lag either
13:36No, it's just I'm exhausted sure how you can introduce him though without you know, the whole locker room thing
13:41I'm tired of I'm literally tired of talking about this
13:46Right, I'm sorry and
13:50It's terrible
13:54That
13:56He has flip-flopped and gone back and forth
14:00so many times
14:02that I think
14:04He overplayed his hand
14:07somebody in his camp said
14:10Ain't nothing gonna happen if you not playing basketball
14:16And they wait till three days before the trade deadline to determine this yeah, nope
14:24Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope
14:28It would be welcomed if you guys talk to us about a long-term deal with

16:14Instead of that. Oh, I don't know. I would I would do that. I'm not sure
