00:00The cream of drinks, baby, right on the go.
00:04Maybe that's Jimmy Butler's problem.
00:05He's been hitting the coquito and eggnog this holiday season,
00:08and that's why he can't play.
00:08All I know is this.
00:09If the man misses another game today, all of a sudden
00:12he has a Miami open flu, because that's a safe thing
00:15that happened last season.
00:18Remember?
00:18I think one of the things that has us in this position
00:24is that you can't control injuries.
00:29So when you take days off and then get hurt, right?
00:35You have those days back.
00:36Right, exactly.
00:37So I think that had Jimmy, and I don't know if this to be true,
00:44if he is hurt that much, that's a whole nother question,
00:47a whole nother situation.
00:50But if he's taken some days, you know what I mean?
00:55I could go, but I'm not.
00:57And then you really get hurt.
01:00What, he hasn't played 60 games in how many years?
01:02Leroy, a DMP is a DMP no matter what way you stand.
01:05Right, but how many, how many, how many,
01:08he hasn't played 60 games in a minute, right?
01:10Oh, never.
01:12So you understand all the things that you're talking about?
01:18When we start talking about the facts of this situation,
01:22you're not helping your case.
01:26So you talking about doing this for a guy who hasn't played 60,
01:30they trying to get guys to play 70 games.
01:33He hasn't played 60.
01:36So how do you, but I want to say from your standpoint,
01:39because I get, look, I get people love Jimmy and I'm not,
01:43look, I'm not going to deter you from that.
01:47When he's on, he is, it seems like unstoppable, OK?
01:52But when you talk about the amount of games that he's played, right?
02:00Does that play into like, oh yeah, you think you just,
02:04he just saving it up for the play.
02:06Man, when you get older, you can't save up nothing.
02:09No.
02:10So like, does that play a role in this?
02:13I think the Miami Heat organization is going to look at the best offer they can
02:17get and see if that's worth, you know, worth the squeeze.
02:20No, I'm asking you, Jimmy.
02:23You Dan, I keep him.
02:25I've already told you I keep him.
02:26You keep him.
02:27With everything included, yes.
02:29With all the craziness, with all the-
02:31You just want to sound good because I could put that,
02:35I could put those same situations in a real life situation,
02:39like with a car or something like that.
02:42And you would be rats off a ship quickly.
02:45So are you rats off a ship right now, Jimmy, right now, Leroy?
02:48I think they need somebody who's going to play.
02:51So you're rats off a ship, hopefully, of Jimmy.
02:53I mean, you got to be.
02:55Yes.
02:56I've asked the question, it's just a yes or no answer.
02:58I want, I thought when this season started and he started the season, I'm like, uh-oh,
03:03we getting, we getting that Jimmy, right?
03:05And then you start missing games.
03:08So we back to the same.
03:10Every year is going to be the same.
03:11Here's the thing.
03:12I don't know what games he's going to miss.
03:15Is it going to be the games that he determines are important or not important or the games
03:20that the Heat determined are important or not important?
03:23Like there's this whole thing that you have to ask yourself with when you see the team
03:30playing and how they're playing and how much they need Jimmy and don't have Jimmy.
03:40Like these are all things that at some point it gets to the point where you're like, yeah,
03:47we want him on our team, but he's not really there.
03:51He's not when we need him.
03:54So what do you do with that?
03:55I don't know.
03:57I don't know what the reasons are.
03:58I don't want to, I don't know what the circumstances are, but I do know this.
04:03He's 35.
04:04Yes.
04:05Like for you to keep thinking that you're going to be able to get the rejuvenated 30
04:10year old Jimmy, you're being crazy.
04:14And that's all I've ever said about this is that 35, I don't know what y'all think.
04:20Just like they thought, oh, at 40, Tom Brady did it.
04:24Aaron Rodgers could do it.
04:26Oh, I'll give you another one.
04:29Kirk Cousins, Aaron Rodgers could do it.
04:35Tom Brady could do it.
04:36Kirk Cousins could do it.
04:38No.
04:39I mean, if it wasn't for the old is old nastiness of Aaron, his numbers aren't pretty bad for
04:45a guy coming off of injury, but nonetheless, this is about Jimmy.
04:48So Leroy said, no, he's done with Jimmy for right now.
04:53Dan, you want Jimmy back?
04:54Jfig, do you want Jimmy gone?
04:56You shouldn't be saying I want Jimmy back in the middle of the season.
05:00That's the whole point.
05:05Do I want him back or saying, well, do you, are you willing to part ways with Jimmy now?
05:11Or do you want one more run?
05:12I don't want him gone.
05:13There you go.
05:14But you know, he's like, but are you understanding the fact that unless it's an NBA championship
05:21run, Jimmy's pretty much, pretty much gone.
05:23I get that.
05:24I get that.
05:25But would you rather it be after the season than within a season?
05:29Because the fear is you do it after the season, you don't get the goods and some of the assets
05:36that you would get.
05:37I can't put, I can't put the, I can't put the scenario into real life consequences because
05:51if I take this same situation and put it into something personal, right, I think we
05:58would feel differently about it.
06:03And, and I'm like, I can look at it for what it is.
06:06Like if you did it with a car, if you did it with, with any, with, with something that
06:13is in your own personal life, right, you would tend to look at this a little bit differently.
06:20But when you say 52 million, you say, Oh, the owner got money.
06:27You're not like, so let's think of it this way.
06:31Not my money.
06:32You, you have a, you have a car, right?
06:36And you rode this car and this car has been great to you.
06:41But then your car started having problems.
06:43You spend 500 here, you spend 1500 there.
06:47And now you've had this car for five or six years and it broke down on you again.
06:53And you have a choice.
06:55You can spend 2,500 to fix the car, or you can put 2,500 down on a new car.
07:03In most cases, you're going to, it's giving you a lot, but you cannot, you cannot go tomorrow
07:11spending $2,500 hoping that it lasts when you can just get a new one.
07:17That car got you, you know, help you landed you, your girl helps you get the job, right?
07:23Your apartment, all that, but 2,500 is 2,500 and that's our car to hard cash that you're
07:30going to put on a car that's five or six years old and you can get a new one.
07:37What if that new one's a lemon?
07:39You can return a new one.
07:41You can't return that old one once you put that 2,500 into it.
07:45And we send Jimmy Butler somewhere and we're like, Oh no, no, no, we don't like this anymore.
07:48Send him back.
07:49No, there's no reverses in those trades, right?
07:52You might get a car that might not be, wait, here's the deal.
07:56You do know what you got with Jimmy Butler, 35 year old, you, you might be able to get
08:03a car that you don't even like as much as the car you had.
08:09It might not have the, you know, this car, you know, I used to get this out of it.
08:13I used to get the gas mileage out of it.
08:15I used to get all these things, but you know what?
08:18The one thing the new car going to give you?
08:21That new car smell.
08:22Transportation.
08:23Transportation.
08:24Transportation.
08:25All right.
08:26You ain't got to worry about whether that car is or isn't going to get you where you
08:30need to go.
08:31I don't know, Leroy.
08:32I don't know about that.
08:34All right.
08:35We've got Jimmy Butler.
08:36And of course, to give you more issues to say.
