• 1:09
  Speaker 1: That's what well I know from personal experience, you can't
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: bicker with pat Riley. So if Jimmy wants to trade,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: he'll definitely be traded. I agree with Chuck has been.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know about the contract. I don't want to
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: talk about people's contract, but no, pat rally runs the

  Speaker 1: ship there, him and Mickey. So Jimmy wants to be traded,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and he said publicly he's not every there, pat Roley
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: would definitely oblige him.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think from a basketball standpoint, let's start there, Ernie.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: I think Jimmy Butler had been what you know, when
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: you have to hear that phrase, the heartbeat of a team.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: He is how the team played. They played inside the
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: paint out. They want a few teams that just didn't
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: rely one hundred percent on a three point shooting. That's
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: why even guys like Tyler heroes trend his his his
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: path has been a little bit slower because they played
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: through Jimmy. And you know, it's hard. It's always hard
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: for like guys. Let's say I was a starter but
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: not a star, meaning on the team, the best player.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: To hear a guy who is getting all the shots,
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: all the minutes and all the money, then say I
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: don't have the joy. That's hard to yep, but I understand.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: So if I have to maybe think that it's what
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: you one hundred percent, you know what it is. Klay
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Thompson is one hundred the same situation with Klay Thompson.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: The warrior says, Clay, you've been great, great, great, but
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: we can't keep going. We can't pay you for what
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: you used to be. Pat Rowley has made a decision.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Then't got one more year for fifty five million dollars.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: He wants an extension.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Pat Rowdy let Dwayne Wade go. This is the exact
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: same situation, in my opinion, with Klay Thompson. They made
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: They made a business decision. He made the same business
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: decision with Klay Thomps they did in Golden State. Pat
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: made the same decision with Dwayne Wade. He's making the
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: same decision with Jimmy Butler, and Jimmy's upset. And what
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Jimmy's gonna have to do is start packing this stuff up.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: I'm thirty five years old. He can he can still help.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: What price?
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Where's a good What price? I know, but I'm just saying.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying by skill wise, but hold on, wise,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: let me ask you a question, where would be a
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: good landing Swell? That's the problem are you because he
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: gonna want to be extended and he should be.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you what. It's a lot of bums
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: out there making way more than him. So if we're
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: gonna talk the money game.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: That's but wait, hold on, he's probably in the top
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: fifteen to twenty.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Do you extend him to Jack?
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Hold on?
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Hold on? If a bummers making thirty, I want one hundred.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying that, but I'm saying, if Jimmy was
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: in his prime, which he's right in the gonna be older,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: do you pay him sixty seventy million dollars going forward?
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: That's the decision you have to make as a team.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Would you give Jimmy Butler, you're the Miami Heat, a
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: three year extension at sixty million apiece one hundred and
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: eighty million dollars.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I would have a conversation with him, and Pat is
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: the guy to have that conversation with. When I was
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: up for my extension supposed to get twenty five, Pat
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: came to me and said I would love to give
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: you the twenty five, but if you take twenty I
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: can bring in Antoine, I can bring in GP, I
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: can bring in white chocolate, and we can win. I
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: decided to take less money than I was able to win. Obviously,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: they can't have that conversation, so I would definitely have
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the conversation with him out of respect and then a decision.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: And you know, the taxes in Miami a little bit different,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: so if you if you have if you're actually making
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: more money when you make But like I say, this
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: is nothing. Pat Rowley gonna do us best for the
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Miami to Miamy heat. He let the Great Dwayne Wade
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: go
