00:00Are you guys familiar with Pella Larson?
00:02Yeah, yeah.
00:03Once got shouted out by Jimmy Butler in Sweden.
00:05Pretty cool.
00:06I didn't think that was going to happen.
00:07Oh, did you trashed him two days before?
00:09Well, you know, I didn't know, you know, but it's great to see.
00:12Great to see, you know, shout out.
00:14But Pella, he he was impressing his teammate, Keisha Johnson.
00:18Now they were teammates at Arizona together.
00:21They're now on the heat together. OK, cool.
00:25But apparently Pella was impressing Keisha
00:28because he can stand in a cold tub and dunk himself.
00:32And apparently this was very impressive to Keisha Johnson.
00:36That's so gangster.
00:38Go ahead. That's so gangster.
00:40Oh, in the cold.
00:46That's so gangster.
00:48Damn. Yeah, his little nuggies are gone.
00:53Well, yeah, you know, that's what happened.
00:57As George Cassano said, it was shrinkage.
01:02I wonder if Bluetooth could revive him.
01:04Absolutely. Just use the promo code.
01:06Pella, use the promo code to show pony shrimp.
01:12So the thing about the ice pool
01:18is is brutal for like two minutes
01:23and then you're numb and it feels really good.
01:25The fancy ones they have circulate like is that the ones that like,
01:28yeah, the jets come to the water.
01:29Oh, yeah, it's just it looks just like a hot tub, but it's 45 degree water.
01:35Do they do the rest? Why?
01:38If you told him when I was in Cleveland, no, we when we were in Cleveland,
01:42we had one as big as like a jacuzzi at LA Fitness.
01:47So you get like five or six people sit in it.
01:51Anyone pee in that? No.
01:53What kind of mark?
01:55It's a natural reaction to say,
02:00oh, water didn't look cold enough.
02:02I want like a penguin in there.
02:03Oh, really? Really?
02:05Dude, I could put the water.
02:07I think when I took the tour the first time we touched the water and I could.
02:11I can put the water at 55, which is 10 degrees warmer than that.
02:15And you wouldn't be able to hang.
02:16No, 100 percent.
02:18I'm not saying I would, but I just want the water to look colder.
02:22How don't we can look closer if it was like that little freeze on.
02:25What do you want, like ice in there?
02:26Like, what do you want to have?
02:28You want to put that in the back?
02:29Now we put we would put
02:32because we had the metal ones, you know, during camp.
02:35And you dump a whole bunch of ice in it.
02:38Just dump ice in and then you turn the jets on and the ice will go away.
02:41You need a lot of ice for the old Bahamas training camp.
02:45Oh, yeah, exactly.
02:47Maybe an Eskimo fishing.
02:49More daiquiris.
02:51No, I got it.
02:52No. Hey, by the way, Marcos,
02:56that water, like when the
02:59Lake Erie freezes and people go ice fishing.
03:01Yeah, that water is much colder than that.
03:05Yeah, it looks like that water is like freezing.
03:08You think any chance to Jimmy Butler pulls a Jalen Ramsey at he can't because
03:14no, because then power out.
03:15I will say this is exactly what I was talking about.
03:17Yeah, but the damage is done.
03:18He's not paying them.
03:19So he gives me a
03:22see October 23rd.
03:24But do you think that gets him paid?
03:26I mean, it's not going to get paid this year, no matter what, does it?
03:28Is it? No, it's not.
03:31Hmm. But let me ask you a question. Mm hmm.
03:36Does Pat have a legitimate complaint?
03:38I think it's a fair complaint.
03:39OK, so you can understand why this isn't happening.
03:42I think that it was a rough year
03:47and I think we should look at the bigger picture.
03:50You think Peralta is only looking at this one year with the games missed?
03:53Well, dude, I don't know.
03:54He always seems to let the icons go, and I don't think that's gone well.
03:59I would like, oh, OK, dude, he it doesn't end well.
04:04There's always drama.
04:05There was drama with Shaq.
04:06There was drama with Zoe.
04:07There was drama with D Wade.
04:09You know, there's drama with Tim Hardaway.
04:12There was even drama with Chris Bosh.
04:14They they were fighting about which doctors cleared him or not.
04:17Then Chris Bosh is like, you guys are just trying to clear cap space.
04:21Like, no, dude, blood clots.
04:24You know, and so now, Jimmy, I just want to, you know,
04:27I don't want you to go anywhere.
04:29So you would you would like.
04:33And you would be the worst owner ever.
04:35I don't think so.
04:36But you think Pat should have just paid him,
04:39even though he feels a certain way?
04:42He always feels that way.
04:43No, but does he have what you said?
04:45You understand he has a legitimate complaint.
04:47He paid he paid Deon Waiters.
04:50150 million.
04:53He gave Deon Waiters a four year deal for what?
04:5630 million. I mean, 40.
04:57It doesn't matter, dude.
04:58Nobody is bidding against.
05:01All right.
05:06And then Deon goes fat cat, and he's surprised.
05:10So maybe he's scarred.
05:12Maybe. Maybe.
05:15But I just like he he made his point
05:20of how he felt after the season about guys
05:25not playing, and it's probably hard for him because he still thinks.
05:30If my guys are healthy, we're the two seed.
05:33Yeah, he probably does.
05:35So why would I extend this?
05:38This is the guy you're going to make the stand with.
05:40He heard this guy.
05:43When was the last time Jimmy played over 70 games?
05:47Dude, he had never has in his career.
05:49But you want to know what he has done?
05:50Taking him to two finals.
05:52OK, but if we're going to talk career, he's had a good career.
05:55No, I'm not. No, I'm not saying that.
05:57I'm not saying he didn't have a good career.
05:59So you give him the money because he had a good career?
06:02Yes. OK, sweetener year.
06:05That's it now.
06:06He's like, all right, that's off the table.
06:08And then my question is, how pissed off would you be?
06:11Right. Mm hmm.
06:13If you get 60 games again and you know, this is how you felt.
06:18I wouldn't be pissed.
06:19OK, I wouldn't be pissed.
06:20You wouldn't be pissed if Jimmy gave you 60 games.
06:23It's going to be what's going to piss me off is when he's not in the heat next year.
06:25That's what's going to piss me off.
06:26But what if he gives you 70 games and you guys go far into the playoffs?
06:30Do we win a championship?
06:33You win a championship, we give you whatever you want.
06:35Do we win a championship?
06:37I don't know.
06:39Well, mystical genie, you're going to have to tell me that to answer my question.
06:42No, otherwise it's hard to say.
06:44Wait, wait, wait.
06:44Me asking for a player to give 70 games is not a mystical, mystical.
06:48He could give me 65 games as long as he's ready for the playoffs, baby.
06:54But we said that last year and he wasn't.
06:56I know. I hope last year is OK.
06:57So if you're the owner or your management, do you have some questions?
07:04Or do you have to blindly go at it?
07:06They're not going blindly at it.
07:08They clearly have made their choice.
07:10I'm just telling you, don't lose.
07:11But can listen.
07:13I'm not saying Jimmy probably deserves the money.
07:18But what I am saying is.
07:21Look at what happened the last couple of years with this team.
07:27And you can understand why management.
07:31Would not want to extend guys who haven't played.
07:37So you you live in on things, say, I don't care what he does in a break season
07:41because playoff, you know, it's not that I don't care.
07:44It's just you cared if they would have played five more games
07:47and won three more games, they would have been a two seat.
07:49It's not that I don't care.
07:51It's just it's it's just that it's one off year for him.
07:56When he had 35.
07:58I understand. I understand.
08:00At 35. I trust.
08:02I trust him to to to to to crank it up.
08:05And everybody thought, no, you have 60 million.
08:08He's going to do nothing but have pina coladas all summer.
08:10And now we've decided to punish him by taking it to the Bahamas here.
08:15If if you give him 60 million. Yeah.
08:21Is he more inclined to play 70 games or less inclined?
08:24I think he's going to do it either way.
08:25I think he's going to be equally inclined.
08:28Really? Yeah.
08:29And so what does Pat Riley need to do to emphasize the point?
08:33I need you to play more games so we can have a better.
08:35He did it. Did he? He did it.
08:38I think he did it by not paying them or just saying it.
08:40Do you think that like Jimmy Butler?
08:42Do you think let me guess, do you think that if he did have the contract,
08:45so you think there would have been more
08:47going to tennis matches and not playing the next day?
08:50I would just say that there's not any incentive to play.
08:52I would have. Here's what I would have said.
08:54This is what I think.
08:55I think Jimmy Butler definitely bought into his bull bleep a little bit too much.
08:59OK, that was his fault.
09:00He thought I'm a superhero because what they did the year before was crazy.
09:07That's a one off.
09:08I understand. I'm not talking about that, though.
09:10I'm saying he saw Jimmy Butler walking off the court.
09:13All playoffs is saying best in the world, best in the world.
09:17And then they go to the finals.
09:19So he's like this regular season.
09:20Ridiculous. It does not matter.
09:22That's the warped mentality.
09:23It was a bad mentality to have.
09:25I don't think after getting their asses kicked and embarrassed,
09:29I think the just natural competitor in him after getting embarrassed
09:32and watching Boston win the championship,
09:34I don't think money or not paying him is going to have him in that mindset.
09:38I think them losing in the first round and him getting hurt
09:40is already going to have him there.
09:41But, you know, Pat, I'm not rewarding you for that.
09:44But OK, but his extension's up now.
09:47Like, you know, that's not that.
09:49You know, he rewarded me. It's it.
09:53But he rewarded me comparing the two.
09:57You think him rewarding BAM is the same thing as rewarding Jimmy?
10:00I mean, it's age.
10:01You're obviously going to you're going to pay a guy who's in the prime of his career.
10:04It matters. But he just wanted one little sweetener.
10:06You know, it matters.
10:07But my whole thing is, is look at it from Pat Riley's perspective.
10:13How are you incentive
10:14and giving him incentive to play more games if you give him the money?
10:18How about his incentive is go get Jimmy Butler some damn help?
10:23He tried, did he?
10:26Oh, you don't even think he tried?
10:28Where's my Damian Lillard?
10:30And you don't think he tried? Where's Dame?
10:33We all thought Dame was coming here.
10:35Yep. But he's not.
10:36But he's not. Where's my spider?
10:39Where's Durant?
10:42Here you go, Jimmy.
10:43Alec Burks, go get him.
10:49You don't have a lot of confidence in management right now.
10:52I have confidence. I trust Adam Simon's a G.
10:55I mean, that guy's finding he's finding gems everywhere.
10:59OK.
10:59Dude's like one of the seven dwarves, just like, hi ho, hi ho.
11:02It's off to find gems. I go.
11:05Oh, my God.
11:10I'll take my mind this one. I'm sorry, please.
11:14Please, immediately.
11:17Oh, that's like, stop.
11:21Yeah, but if it was a frog joke, you'd like it, Leroy.
11:25Wow. So you're you're protesting the minus one sound.
11:28I just, you know, I just think it's real convenient.
11:30All of a sudden, you know, Leroy was here.
11:32All right. Get hydrated, champ.
11:34Didn't realize.
11:35Didn't realize a manual frog boat was going to get into his feelings.
11:37Oh, you're lucky he's back at it again.
