00:00The Miami Heat were apparently, per Sharms, trying to shop around Jimmy Buckets, Jimmy
00:08Butler.
00:09He wanted out of South Beach and wanted to find a new destination in which would give
00:13him a chance to try and win a championship.
00:16So that was the big one coming across there from NBA insider, Sharms Shahrania, earlier
00:21this week.
00:22But Pat Riley puts the foot down and says, no, Jimmy Buckets, the six-time All-Star,
00:27will not be going anywhere.
00:29We usually don't comment on rumors, but all this speculation has become a distraction.
00:33Pat Riley, he puts the foot down and says, Jimmy is staying in Miami.
00:37But for how long, Jarl?
00:41It's a matter of time.
00:42The trade deadline is February.
00:45I'd be shocked if he is still there by the time February gets around here.
00:50I mean, listen, now's the time.
00:52It's just it's the nature of the business here, I think.
00:56And it's Pat Riley, unfortunately, the headlines have made it so Pat Riley had to address him.
01:02He couldn't stay quiet.
01:04So what else is he going to say?
01:05Of course, he's going to say he's not trading Jimmy Butler until, of course, he trades Jimmy
01:10Butler.
01:11And I don't and I think both sides are on the same page here, quite honestly.
01:14I think Jimmy wants to know that it's winding down for him.
01:17He wants to go play for a contender.
01:19And if Miami and the NBA is going to retool, they've got the pieces there without a bio
01:25and Tyler Hero, they're going to use whatever they can get for Jimmy Butler now to be able
01:30to add to that over the next couple of years and restart a new era in Miami basketball.
01:35So it's it's time.
01:36And both guys know it.
01:38They're just navigating the press right now.
01:41Yeah, really, really seems that way for Jimmy Butler.
01:43He's done a lot for that organization.
01:46He's had nothing but success over there playing for the Heaton.
01:50To go with that NBA news and notes, Luka Doncic is set to miss another month of basketball,
01:56sustain that that left calf strength.
01:58It will be re-evaluated in one month after this one coming across for the Mavericks.
02:03Not good. They're trying to get things going.
02:04Luka came back. He looked fantastic.
02:06But now back on the sidelines.
