00:00Oh, you want a little Jimmy Butler update?
00:02Yes.
00:03New development.
00:05According to, uh, Jake Fisher and Mark Stein, he's going to be trade somewhere else.
00:12A new team has emerged as a potential trade suitor for Jimmy Butler, the
00:16Yotes, not the Yotes, the new Orleans Pelicans have this week registered
00:23interest in training for Butler league.
00:25Sources tell the Stein line, the extent of new Orleans interest was not
00:28immediately clear, but sources say that a firm offer from the Pelicans
00:32will be built around the $36 million expiring contract of Brandon Ingram.
00:39The Pelicans have been, as it's been navigating its own trade scenarios for
00:43Ingram after the Pelicans like Miami with Butler were unable to reach an
00:47extension agreement with the former all-star this past off season sources
00:50told the sideline of the Pelicans after Ingram's $36 million expiring contract
00:54had been discussed by rival teams and various trade proposals designed to
00:58help facilitate Butler's exit, uh, Butler's Miami exit, decide to approach
01:02the heat themselves about swapping Ingram for Butler.
01:07It is believed that the prospect of acquiring a player of Ingram's caliber
01:11would certainly get the heat's attention given that Miami is openly motivated
01:15to make the playoffs this season.
01:17And even if it is, uh, even if it is a successful with its goal to find a
01:21trade that rids them of Butler Ingram, he does get injured.
01:25He does get injured, but also built like a wind sock.
01:28He is built like a wind sock.
01:30He is built like a wind sock.
01:33I don't really understand why they would want to do a one for one though.
01:35That'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 plan?
01:42They're 13 games out.
01:45Like you're not getting even into the West plan.
01:4813 games out of the plan.
01:50The plan dude, even with getting Zion back McCollum, Trey, Murphy's
01:57having to like, they have a lot of talent on the team.
01:59Well, maybe they think about next year.
02:01Maybe, maybe, maybe, I don't know.
02:06That's a, that's an interesting one.
02:08Um, New Orleans as well at a playoff range and an injury ravaged season,
02:12which raises questions about how motivated it would really be to pursue Butler when
02:16it is known that they want to play for a contender while the Pelicans are also
02:19very determined to get themselves out of the luxury tax.
02:22I'm going to just throw this out there.
02:24Yep.
02:26When you make it as difficult as possible to be traded, you can then
02:32say, I want to go to a contender.
02:34Oh, that's fair.
02:35Like you ruined that.
02:37You ruined that.
02:38You ruined the chance to go to a contender based on what
02:42you've done, how you play.
02:43I don't know why people think we just, if I'm another team, I'm going to just.
02:49Supposed to assume that when you get here, you're going to get some, get right.
02:53Maybe their thought process is that anger is getting them nothing.
02:57And if they just have the asset of Jimmy Butler, they can flip them
03:00and it's a little easier for Jimmy is now.
03:04I'm sure that's going to go over well with him.
03:06I don't know.
03:07I mean, like, what if they want to deal with the Kings or what if they
03:09want to deal with the sons, you know, I got you.
03:12What if that's how it goes?
03:13Right.
03:14And they pretty much tell him, Hey, we'll get you there.
03:16You know, just even if it's a basketball.
03:18Yeah.
03:19Maybe.
03:20I don't know.
03:22I don't know.
03:22But I, you know, these, these are, I'm sure all ideas, they really want Bradley
03:28bill, nobody wants to make it.
03:32Listen, out of curiosity to a lot of teams, Jimmy Butler is, is as
03:42undesirable as Bradley bill.
03:44Yeah.
03:45So there was this, uh, there was this talk yesterday.
03:47Cause the other team that the team that's been mentioned the most, that's
03:50not the sons as the warriors, but the thing with the warriors, it seems to
03:56be interesting is they're pretty openly saying that Steph Curry is pretty
04:00skeptical about bringing Jimmy Butler in.
04:02Yes.
04:03He's like, I don't, I don't think you guys or think people understand
04:10how 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 you think about
04:23Dame or you say he wasn't tough enough on, on Portland or whatever.
04:29He's always handled the whole situation like a professional, even if he didn't
04:33want to be in Milwaukee, when he got to Milwaukee, he played right.
04:38Um, I can even go one step further with Kawhi.
04:41Remember the whole thing when Kawhi went to Toronto was that they
04:44said he wasn't going to play there.
04:47He laughed.
04:47He went there.
04:48They won a championship.
04:50Like if Jimmy doesn't get what he wants and everybody just says to him, Oh,
04:58you're just a loner, you think he's going to go there and give full effort?
05:04Unless he gets what, get what he wants.
05:06Who wants to be a part of that?
05:07Who wants to, who wants, that's a lot of money to be hoping.
05:12The other thing with, uh, Ingram is he's dealing with a high angle sprain.
05:15Uh,
05:16high angle sprain is that for him?
05:18That's the same as a, a torn knee.
05:20Cause I mean,
05:26now you're thin shaming.
05:28Dude, let me tell you something.
05:30Look at that.
05:32He built like this with a bend.
05:38I'm just saying.
05:39I mean, if you put here, if you could put Wimby, Chet and Ingram in a row, they
05:49can stand sideways and hide behind a sheet of paper, have to be a tall sheet.
05:56Nobody's here.
05:57Nothing to see here.
05:59Oh man.
06:00Miami is going to be determined to make the best Butler deal.
06:02I can find at this point before the February 6th trade ruined that.
06:07The best deal.
06:08Why are you yelling at the article?
06:10He has ruined that.
06:11Now, all you have is a trade.
06:13You ain't got best trade.
06:14You ain't got, uh, 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 and Memphis
06:30and grouping of teams that all have contemplated trading for Butler, even
06:33though he is not angled to land with any of them, you know, all these teams
06:38make a Butler, I contemplate every few years about getting the colonoscopy.
06:42What contemplate I have to, but I still contemplate whether I should do it or not.
06:50I just don't see the, I still haven't seen the team that's
06:52going to take on bill 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 that besides, but that's the thing is like, I don't understand.
07:03I don't understand this, uh, getting Jimmy to the governor's to the sons,
07:07but it's like, Hey, we don't have control over it.
07:09The guy has no trick laws.
07:10Getting Jimmy to the funds is going to require more work than if I had left my
07:15driver's license at home and had to fly back home and get, it's just, it's, it's
07:21a headache that shouldn't have been.
07:25That nobody should have been in this position.
07:27If Jimmy had been a professional, I mean, if we're going to talk with the
07:30Pelicans though, no, no, no, no, no.
07:33What, what?
07:35And I'm also saying what?
07:38Don't do it.
07:39Why don't do it?
07:40Because here's, here's how it listen.
07:44You see that?
07:45Look, Marco's face, you know what that is?
07:47You know what he looking for the record, but
07:54so go ahead.
07:55I'm just telling you tread lightly because you always get mad when this
07:59comes 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?
08:09No, he's back now, though, baby.
08:13He's back.
08:14Even though he's not gonna play back to back this year.
08:16But like, this is what I hate.
08:17This is why I hate fans.
08:18He's he looks like a shape.
08:19Y'all see a guy on TV on, on 2k and y'all just want it out there.
08:26Headache for headache.
08:27Okay.
08:28You want to give the stat?
08:29What's that?
08:30The stat that I read in the chat that I confirmed.
08:32What's that?
08:33That LeBron has played more games than Jimmy in two, yet two less years.
08:41Zion has played less than both of them.
08:44Yeah.
08:45Why you, he played 74 games last year.
08:47He got hurt in the playoffs.
08:48Those hammies, you know, Oh, no.
08:53You forget one major word with that.
08:54That's getting him in trouble.
08:55What's that?
08:56Moons over my head.
08:58That's a point.
09:03Come on.
09:04Hey, he got, right.
09:10He came in like skinny Luther, right?
09:13But the music wasn't the same.
09:16You don't know nothing about skinny Luther.
09:18Huh?
09:18Skinny Luther Vandross.
09:20He lost his a fastball.
09:21We got skinny.
09:22Nah, he still had low.
09:24He still had a little bounce, but it just, you know,
09:28Froggy Zion.
09:29Oh no.
09:29How about, how about skinny?
09:32What's my man's the picture?
09:33CC.
09:34CC.
09:34Yeah.
09:34CC sucks.
09:36Yeah.
09:36Sucked.
09:37You look good.
09:38Body 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 when guys who claim to be team guys and professionals
09:52aren't team guys and professional, right?
09:56There's been a lot of guys in this situation.
09:58Correct me if I'm wrong.
10:00There's been a lot of guys in this situation.
10:05Every team is looking at Jimmy and going, I 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, right?
10:21The only person that people have had these kinds of questions about is
10:28Jimmy Butler.
10:29Jimmy Butler is posted on his Instagram.
10:31Akon's locked up.
10:33Huh?
10:34Oh, Oh no.
10:36Real cute.
10:37Jimmy.
10:40You know what I say?
10:42All right.
10:42Do you need to play a old dirty bastard?
10:46Hey, Hey, baby, I got your money.
10:55That's what Pat Riley singing, by the way.
10:58I gotta, I gotta say, I don't really appreciate this.
11:01You know, we've got a listener, good listener, you know, uh, air 305
11:06Aldonnas, and he says, not Tobes.
11:10You were on the trail five train.
11:12We not forget how many times I have to tell you guys.
11:18No, I just want to score 30 points in the show.
11:21No ESPN.
11:22He automatically eats up to trade machine.
11:25Dude, July sports talk does not count.
11:29I keep telling you guys, it's fun season, baby.
11:34You got to throw things against the wall.
11:35We need content.
11:37It doesn't count.
11:38All I said, only one who's, and by the way, I didn't trade Tyler for him.
11:41I didn't trade Tyler for him.
11:42Who'd you trade for?
11:44I don't remember.
11:45I think, I think, I think I traded Terry, Terry and stuff.
11:49Terry.
11:49Yeah.
11:50Cause they really wanted to get rid of his broke.
11:52I don't know at the time.
11:54But I didn't trade Tyler.
11:56Although maybe we brought it up with John Michaels.
12:01What Miami, Miami sure.
12:04No.
12:06Very distracted.
12:07I'm not, did I, did I go like this?
12:10Yes.
12:12So that is up until we saw those videos from the wait and let's, let's, let's
12:17listen, I'm gonna say this.
12:22We were so excited.
12:24When the team got younger and taller.
12:28Yep.
12:29Right.
12:30And you want to ruin it in one summer and go back to garden.
12:34We didn't have color where at the time I was talking about this.
12:43So my question is this, would you rather have Treya Treya or Tyler Tyler?
12:50Okay.
12:51So what's the problem?
12:52No, there is no problem.
12:53I just feel like slander being thrown out on the internet.
12:56I didn't say that.
12:58I don't recall saying that.
13:00I don't recall saying that.
13:01Oh my goodness.
13:03I don't recall.
13:03So I, and I was rats off a ship after I watched Marcos was right.
13:07What's up?
13:08Well, I'm going to say this to coach, to the coaching staff who does an amazing
13:16job of developing young talent, right?
13:19Yep.
13:20Time to develop time.
13:22You got some young guys who have a lot of skillset.
13:25I mean, Julie Jaime.
13:27Huh?
13:27What?
13:28Wow.
13:29Critical.
13:30Wait, wait, wait.
13:32I'm not critical of her.

13:34He would have never said these words.
13:36What?
13:36No, you, you, you, you like, he needs to get it together.
13:40Why do you say sweetener in Spanish?
13:48That's Jennifer.
13:50Oh, she's almost like 30 minutes.
13:53Yeah.
13:54It's very hard to get like, she's, she's using the, uh, the time zones against us.
13:57She's like, they won't know when I'm late.
14:01I mean, she usually shows up at 12.
14:02It's getting later and later.
14:03Yep.
14:04Yep.
14:05Yep.
14:05Yep.
14:07Later and later.

14:13Remember?
14:14Oh my God.
14:15Terrible.
14:16Can I just say, this is the only guy.
14:18He gets so excited over athlete workout videos.
14:22And I'm just like, no, I'm telling you, I was on it for like two seconds.
14:29Give me a break to Detroit workouts, throwing things out there, dude.
14:33Why did you just have a little fun?
14:36It was July sports talk.
14:38How come I was with you and I don't get the feeling that I need
14:41to go ahead on and kick rocks.
14:42What do you mean?
14:43And just talk about anything.
14:46Because you're just alone for the ride.
14:47When I, when I do July sports talk, you don't know, it's July.
14:51Cause you get crazy.
14:54How many people have he traded?
14:55How many people has like it's July sports talk.
14:59It's not the same.
15:01If you want to criticize me from August, all the way through July, have at it.
15:08Well, once we get to July, July sports talk is not the same as the rest.
15:12It's not football is no basketball is what do we have?
15:15The Marlins it's July sports talk.
15:18It's different.
15:19You can't hold those takes against me.
15:23There's rules.
15:24Everybody knows this.
15:27Don't look at me like that.
15:28Frog boy.
15:28Everybody knows the rules.
15:30You're the one making up the rules.
15:33Everybody knows takes in July.
15:35Do not count.
15:37I said the cater coho thing in July.
15:40No, you didn't.
15:41I just tried to throw things in there.
15:44Forgiving.
15:44I know when training game starts.
15:46Well, we already got in two years.
15:50So we like, I mean, needs to go bye-bye.
15:53Who says, who texts that?
15:54This is old chats.
15:57Look, this is the pictures.
16:04Hard to say.
16:05No, it ain't hard to say.
16:07Say, man, don't take evidence is hard to say.
16:10This is from old.
16:12This is from two years ago.
16:13You guys say, well, it can't be from two years ago.
16:15Cause he's only played for a year.
16:17Okay.
16:17So yeah, he was a rookie last year.
16:23What do you need to be hydrated for a champ?
16:26Here's why.
16:28Can I just tell you, here's the problem.
16:31So at night I have to buy something when I go up to the room.
16:37Cause you know, I gotta put my, I've had to put my drink next to the
16:40bed when I'm thirsty at night.
16:43And then I got to get me a Celsius when I get up in the morning.
16:47Right.
16:48And cause coffee's not available.
16:51So that's why I had this.
16:52And this was the only one, like I wanted zero cause I didn't want
16:56to be drinking all that sugar.
