00:00Oh, you want a little Jimmy Butler update?
00:02Yes.
00:03New development.
00:04According to Jake Fisher and Mark Stein, he's going to be
00:10trade somewhere else.
00:12A new team has emerged as a potential trade suitor for Jimmy
00:15Butler, the Yotes, not the Yotes.
00:19The New Orleans Pelicans have this week registered interest
00:23in training for Butler League.
00:24Sources tell the Stein line.
00:26The extent of New Orleans interest was not immediately clear,
00:29but sources say that a firm offer from the Pelicans will be
00:32built around the $36 million expiring contract of Brandon
00:37Ingram.
00:39The Pelicans have been as it's been navigating its own trade
00:42scenarios for Ingram after the Pelicans like Miami with Butler
00:46were unable to reach an extension agreement with the former
00:48all-star this past offseason.
00:49Sources told the Stein line of the Pelicans after Ingram's
00:52$36 million expiring contract have been discussed by rival
00:55teams in various trade proposals designed to help facilitate
00:59Butler's Miami exit, decide to approach the Heat
01:03themselves about swapping Ingram for Butler.
01:07It is believed that the prospect of acquiring a player of Ingram's
01:10caliber would certainly get the Heat's attention given that
01:13Miami is openly motivated to make the playoffs this season.
01:16And even if it is a successful with its goal to find a
01:21trade that rids them of Butler.
01:22Isn't he always heard to?
01:24Ingram?
01:24He does get injured.
01:25He does get injured.
01:27Because he's also built like a windsock.
01:28He is built like a windsock.
01:30He is built like a windsock.
01:31Short and wimpy.
01:32I don't really understand why they would want to do a one-for-one
01:35though. That's a little interesting.
01:36Like they suck this year.
01:38Now they're getting people back and like maybe I mean, but how
01:41far are they even from the plane?
01:42They're 13 games out.
01:45Like you're not getting even into the West playing 13 games
01:49out of the plane.
01:50The plane dude.
01:53Even with getting Zion back McCullum Trey, Murphy's having
01:57like they have a lot of talent on the team.
01:59Well, maybe they think about next year.
02:01Maybe.
02:03Maybe.
02:04Maybe.
02:05I don't know.
02:06That's a that's an interesting one.
02:09New Orleans is well out of playoff range in an injury-ravaged
02:12season, which raises questions about how motivated would really
02:14be to pursue Butler when it is known that they want to play
02:17for a contender while the Pelicans are also very determined
02:19to get themselves out of the luxury tax.
02:22I'm gonna just throw this out there.
02:24Yep.
02:24When you make it as difficult as possible to be traded.
02:28Yep.
02:29You can then say I want to go to a contender.
02:32Oh, that's fair.
02:33Like you ruined that you ruined that you ruined the chance
02:37to go to a contender based on what you've done how you play.
02:41I don't know why people think we just if I'm another team,
02:45I'm just supposed to assume that when you get here, you're
02:50going to get some get right.
02:51Maybe their thought process is that anger is getting them
02:54nothing.
02:55And if they just have the acid of Jimmy Butler, they can flip
02:58them and it's a little easier for so now that's what Jimmy
03:01is now.
03:02I'm sure that's going to go over well with him.
03:04I don't know.
03:05I mean like what if they want to deal with the Kings?
03:06What if they want to deal with the Suns?
03:08You know, I got you.
03:10What if that's how it goes, right?
03:11And they pretty much tell him.
03:12Hey, we'll get you there.
03:13You know, just even if it's a basketball.
03:16Yeah, maybe I don't know.
03:18I don't know but I you know, these these are I'm sure all
03:21ideas.
03:22They really want Bradley Beal.
03:25Nobody wants to know.
03:27I don't make it.
03:28Listen out of curiosity.
03:33To a lot of teams.
03:35Jimmy Butler is is as undesirable as Bradley Beal.
03:41Yeah.
03:42So there was this there was this talk yesterday because the
03:44other team, I don't know.
03:45So there was this there was this talk yesterday because the
03:47other team that the team that's been mentioned the most that's
03:50not the Suns is the Warriors.
03:53But the thing with the Warriors, it seems to be interesting
03:57is they're pretty openly saying that Steph Curry is pretty
04:00skeptical about bringing Jimmy Butler in.
04:02Yes.
04:03He's like like I don't I don't think you guys or think people
04:09understand how big a deal that is right?
04:12What Jimmy is doing?
04:15Right?
04:16The thing that we can all say about Dame is I don't care what
04:22you think about Dame or you say he wasn't tough enough on on
04:27Portland or whatever.
04:29He's always handled the whole situation like a professional
04:32even if he didn't want to be in Milwaukee when he got to
04:34Milwaukee, he played right?
04:39I can even go one step further with Kawhi.
04:41Remember the whole thing when Kawhi went to Toronto is that
04:44they said he wasn't going to play there.
04:47He laughed.
04:47He went there.
04:48They want a championship like if Jimmy doesn't get what he
04:53wants.
04:56And everybody just says to him.
04:57Oh, you're just a loner.
05:00You think he's going to go there and give full effort?
05:04Unless he gets would get what he wants who wants to be a part
05:07of that who wants to who want that's a lot of money to be
05:10hoping.
05:12The other thing with the Ingram is he's dealing with a high
05:14angle sprain and high angle sprain.
05:17Is that for him?
05:17That's the same as a torn knee because I mean
05:25now you're thin shaming dude.
05:28Let me tell you something.
05:30Look at that.
05:31He built like this would have been.
05:33I think if you put here if you could put Wimby Chet and Ingram
05:48in a row, they can stand sideways and hide behind a sheet
05:51of paper.
05:53Have to be a tall sheet of paper.
05:56Nobody's here.
05:57Nothing to see here.
05:58Oh man, Miami is known to be determined to make the best
06:01Butler deal.
06:01I can find at this point before the February 6 trade, but
06:05he has ruined that the best deal.
06:07Why are you yelling at the article?
06:09I mean, he has ruined that now.
06:11All you have is a trade.
06:13You ain't got best trade.
06:14You ain't got trade to a contender.
06:18All you have now is trade.
06:20There should be no adjectives before the trade trade be gone.
06:24Have a nice day.
06:26You did it to yourself.
06:27New Orleans has essentially joined Golden State Milwaukee
06:29and Memphis and grouping of teams that all have contemplated
06:32trading for Butler, even though he is not angled to land with
06:35any of them.
06:36You know, all these teams have to wear with all the make of
06:38Butler. I contemplate every few years about getting the
06:40colonoscopy.
06:42What contemplate I have to but I still contemplate whether I
06:48should do it or not.
06:49I just don't see the I still haven't seen the team that's
06:52going to take on Beal though.
06:53Like that's the thing.
06:54I still haven't seen the team is going to take on Jimmy.
06:56Well, we know the besides.
06:58Yeah, but that's the thing is like.
06:59Yeah, I don't understand.
07:03I don't understand this getting Jimmy to the thunderness to
07:06the sun's weather.
07:07It's like, hey, we don't have control over the guys.
07:09No trade laws.
07:10Getting Jimmy to the funds is going to require more work than
07:14if I had left my driver's license at home and had to fly
07:17back home and get it's just it's it's a headache that shouldn't
07:23have been that nobody should have been in this position if
07:27Jimmy had been a professional.
07:29All right, if we're going to talk with the pelicans, though,
07:30no, no, no, no, no, what what and I'm also say what?
07:38Don't do it.
07:40Don't do because here's here's how it listen.
07:45You see that?
07:45Look Marco's face.
07:46You know, that is you know what you're looking for the record
07:49button.
07:54So go ahead.
07:55I'm just telling you tread lightly because you always get
07:59mad when this comes back to bite you in the butt.
08:00I'm just saying go ahead.
08:02If we're going to talk to the Pels.
08:04Okay.
08:04Okay.
08:05Why don't we talk to him about Zion?
08:08You want that?
08:09What?
08:09Why not?
08:10He never plays.
08:11Oh, he's back now though, baby.
08:13He's back even though he's not gonna play back to back this
08:15year, but like this is what I hate.
08:17This is why I hate fans.
08:18He can do he's he looks like a shape.
08:19Y'all see a guy on TV on on 2k and and y'all just want it out
08:25realize headache for headache.
08:27Okay, you want to give the stat?
08:29What's that?
08:30The stat that I read in the chat that I confirm.
08:32What's that?
08:33That LeBron has played more games than Jimmy and to yet to
08:39less years good for him.
08:41Zion has played less than both of them.
08:44Yeah, why you he played 74 games last year.
08:47You got hurt in the playoffs.
08:48Those hammies, you know,
08:51Amy's no, you forget one major word with that.
08:54But what's that?
08:56Moons over my
08:58that's a point.
09:03Come on.
09:04Hey, he got a
09:09right.
09:10He came in like Skinny Luther, right?
09:13But the music wasn't the same.
09:15You don't know nothing about Skinny Luther.
09:18Huh?
09:18Skinny Luther Vandross.
09:20He lost his a fastball.
09:21We got skinny.
09:22No, he still had a little.
09:24He still had a little bounce, but it just, you know,
09:28Froggy Zion.
09:29Oh, no.
09:29How about Zion?
09:30How about skinny?
09:31What's my man's the picture?
09:33CeCe CeCe.
09:34Yeah, CeCe sucks.
09:36Yeah, sucked.
09:37You look good by look good, but he ain't have it.
09:41I'm telling you, dude, this is a mess.
09:43I'm just so here's what I don't like.
09:47I don't like
09:49when guys who claim to be team guys and professionals aren't
09:53team guys and professional, right?
09:56There's been a lot of guys in this situation.
09:58Correct me if I'm wrong.
09:59There's been a lot of guys in this situation.
10:05Every team is looking at Jimmy and going.
10:09I don't know if I want to deal with it.
10:11Nobody said that about Kawhi.
10:13Nobody said that about all the other guys, right?
10:16Dame ended up in Milwaukee.
10:18They were happy.
10:20Right?
10:21The only person that people have had these kind of questions
10:25about is Jimmy Butler.
10:29Jimmy Butler is posted on his Instagram.
10:31Akon's locked up.
10:33Huh?
10:34Oh, oh, no.

16:09This is from old.
16:11This is from two years ago.
16:13You guys say, well, it can't be from two years ago because

16:16Okay, so yeah, he's working last year.
16:23What do you need to be hydrated for champ?
16:26Here's why can I just tell you?

16:39drink next to the bed.
16:41Yeah, when I'm thirsty at night and then I got to get me
16:43a Celsius when I get up in the morning, right?
16:47Yep, and because coffee is not available.

16:54wanted zero gotcha because I want to have be drinking all
16:57that sugar.
