01:18line if you can see him got gum got gums sick of this guy man like it almost like his his
01:26his mouth opens up all the way past his nose and you can see all this all up in here what does it
01:32say about jimmy butler what do you mean what does it say let's say you've been a committed relationship
01:37for like six years and you've gone through the highest of highs and of course you're gonna have
01:42some lows too but then within like two weeks you got a new squeeze that's a little sketchy is it
01:48i mean sketchy you knew that you were together for six years okay but they said but one side said
01:53i don't want this to be a relationship anymore speaking of side where did this buddy healed come
01:58from huh he was there your buddy buddy with buddy sick of this he's supposed to not talk to anybody
02:04oh but just supposed to facetime nikola jovich every single night i'm familiar with the act i've seen
02:10this as this guy's ex i've seen this over and over again he's doing the comedy act oh oh no we're
02:18friends with my friends that's the kyle lowry bit that he used to do with kyle lowry the max streuss
02:22the tyler hero and he would do it with ira winderman this guy's a hoochie what do you mean he did it
02:28with ira winderman jimmy butler's a hoochie what are you kidding me just sick as i you know okay we have
02:36the the knicks and the celtics of course never want to see them succeed listen this jimmy butler
02:42buddy he'll do well it's getting close i'm gonna say he's on the right now though close nightmare
02:46scenario for all the petty watching because if he's able to beat the wolves without steph curry
02:51if he does that and gets him to the western conference finals yeah
02:55i mean he's looking pretty right the entire time marcos i don't know what to tell you
03:02now let me ask you as as a as a uh a premium petty card holder yep
03:09if you see him play the way he's playing and he gets them to
03:16the um western conference uh finals does it piss you off even more at him yeah why would that piss
03:30me off at him because didn't you really know he was tanking it here i know that he was i'm not a
03:36child i know he was tanking it here i mean yes i was i'm obviously pissed that he tanked it here
03:42i don't like that he that he he showed up his uh or refused to speak to his former teammates i thought
03:49that was low rent um i understand the heat's frustration feeling like hey it was all him bam had
03:55nothing to do with it us finding all these undrafted gems had nothing to do with it dude
04:00can this be one this is one of the rare cases like can both can both sides have a point here
04:06no really no why not because you're good you were getting paid to do a job i understand there's no
04:13excuse for the way that he left the way that he left was awful i understand i am not you know what
04:18you're a fraud you're a fraud you know why i told you to play him you know why let me tell you why
04:28you're a fraud because if i change one name in that story right your whole attitude changes
04:37and you give the same exact reason you won't give to jimmy to lebron james here's the thing with
04:45i'm not mad that he left it's how he left it's how he left i understand i understand how that
04:49seems hypocritical i can understand how that seems hypocritical i understand i understand
04:57i will even admit i will even admit slight hypocrisy i will admit slight hypocrisy i've told you hold on
05:06hold on i i was rooting against the warriors against the rockets i'm gonna tell you flat out i was like
05:12and i was furious with them like fred van vliet bum shingoon i'm like i wanted them to do it
05:19however however i have said this entire time i can't find the same animosity at jimmy butler
05:28that i did at lebron now part of the reason is it is how you leave because the heat didn't want to
05:36pay jimmy butler they decided lebron was like he blindsided the heat he's like but you still
05:42were getting paid to play basketball right now totally right leroy what jimmy butler did was way
05:49more unprofessional than what lebron did but what lebron did hurt more you know why you want to tell
05:56you it hurt more because lebron was better and he had won two championships that's why it hurt more
06:03i understand what you're saying there and i don't disagree lebron was the best player on the planet
06:07jimmy butler is not how but however jimmy butler went to his new destination completely flipped their
06:14season one you know as part of them winning a playoff series and now has them 1-0 taking home
06:19court advantage so his effectiveness as a playoff player more impressive right now than lebron james
06:26who's sitting at home so i got 40 i get when he left when he left the heat he went on to win two
06:36more championships
06:36so that doesn't even fly uh yeah he won two more championships i mean needed a suspension and needed
06:46you know goran draggers to get hurt but he won us a championship wait a minute lebron didn't take
06:51draymond's foot and put it on somebody's nuts he baited him we all know we all know
06:58as a man as a man have you ever gone into a situation say i'm gonna bait him he's probably
07:07gonna kick me in the junk but it'll be worth it magic says in token's defense we respect
07:15that we played a part in jimmy leaving because we didn't give him efficient help or money lebron
07:21was a rat the way that he left jimmy looked us in the face and said he didn't want to be here
07:25exactly it's and that's what pat riley said smiling faces with hidden agendas now
07:30to be fair magic to the heat okay because again i think both sides have points no they don't no i
07:38think both sides have points you don't you no longer have a point where you don't play for the
07:42money you're getting paid for okay all right that's fine that's fine and and again that is
07:47the that is the numero uno argument he dogged it that's wrong i think i've chastised him you know
07:52what exhibit a one-legged three his bigger point though when he but his bigger point was but when i
08:00try look what happens but you didn't try that's my bigger problem because they didn't pay him because
08:06he said he was gonna try so is wait wait wait wait here's what's equivalent if lebron had did this
08:15if lebron had said i'm coming back and then left okay jimmy butler said i'm gonna come and ball out
08:24and he didn't that's 10 times worse because he lied i don't care what he gave what excuses he gave
08:33after the fact when the season started and he knew he wasn't gonna get paid he said is there
08:40i'm just gonna go and ball out is there a difference between lying and sneaking dan gilbert
08:48into south florida yes here's why is there a difference yeah you know why there's a difference
08:53because lebron had every right to leave his contract was up and he could make that decision
09:01not to come back while he was getting paid for the heat he played for the heat he never said
09:08i'm gonna come and ball out one more year and then tank it so he could get out what's a pelicans
09:16game amongst friends come on dude you have to i get it i've i understand what he did to the heat
09:24was wrong but counterpoint was jimmy wrong as far as his importance his effectiveness and whether he
09:35was worth the money because right now the warriors owner saying he was worth every penny and he even
09:40said on the record yes there were concerns but he was but he's been worth every penny and now he has
09:46them up 1-0 in a series they were dogs no steph curry if he's able to get them to the western
09:53conference finals leroy yes i mean like it's already undeniable how good he is as a playoff player but if
09:59he's able to get this team to the western conference finals sans steph with buddy healed and the corpse
10:05of draymond green can i also add one more caveat
10:09the warriors didn't have the stink of the last two years and jimmy playing 55 games
10:19of course he's in the honeymoon phase so so so from that standpoint we making it sound like
10:25all of a sudden the heat came to that conclusion when they came to that conclusion based on the
10:33availability of jimmy butler dude i understand that's why i say what jimmy did was wrong but jimmy's
10:42point wasn't wrong you can't make listen you can't make a point after you punch a person in the face
10:51he dude we just talked about halliburton hero right yeah because we say jimmy butler is not a
10:57regular season guy right west gover says not a regular season star he's a playoff star his
11:02effectiveness in the playoffs whatever it is because you even look at shooting numbers weren't
11:07great last night but whatever it is what he's able to do to run a team it it's it dude it's right there
11:14with any other player in the league by himself with all the pieces but counterpoint
11:22playoffs for the last two years they've been in the play-in because jimmy didn't play enough games
11:30they were in the play-in this year you said play-in is play-in but i'm just saying like
11:35okay i get how he is in the playoffs but you gotta position yourself so you don't have to go through
11:42all it is margos are you furious with him i know you hate buddy healing him i'm absolutely furious with
11:50him dude i do understand what you mean you know we were the ones like courting lebron and he kind
11:55left this on red that hurts but but in all the things you could say about lebron and i don't argue
12:03about any of it right his contract was up so any services that you were going to get next year were
12:16never promised even though you may not like the way in which he did not provide his services the following
12:23year i get all that he had the right to go somewhere else jimmy was under contract okay
12:34or not this year but this year and next year he only wanted one more year too like that's the other
12:40thing he just wanted one more year again man and everybody's gonna get overpaid in the end
12:45everybody does it's the nba everybody gets overpaid at the end okay and the other thing is
12:49how how can we sit here how do we in good conscience how can we sit here and and disparage
12:56his importance i can i can get how his act wears thin but they just got smoked by a record amount
13:04and everybody over there is saying he's the reason we are where we are that's great okay but let me ask
13:12you a question you understand what pat riley's argument was yeah right and it's justified okay
13:24that i don't give a rat's ass what jimmy does in the playoffs if every year we're fighting for our
13:32lives in the play-in okay but the counterpoint to that would be who's failed at their job more over
13:37the last four years pat riley or jimmy butler jimmy butler really because he hasn't he hasn't
13:43he hasn't played enough we're more in this situation because of the decisions pat riley's
13:47front office is correct jimmy butler correct but one of those decisions was jimmy butler and he wasn't
13:52available so what do you do you think here are you the person that say you know what if i pay him
13:59he's gonna change uh i mean that's been the case most of his problems when when he's had problem
14:05places because they haven't paid him you're you're always gonna have a hard time selling me on
14:12paying a guy two years from now when he's not giving you enough services right now
14:20and i understand why a team or an organization wouldn't pay a player when their biggest concern
14:30is availability and you think that's going to get better if you pay him you have to have questions
14:36about that
