00:00Do you think that it'd be smart business for

00:04the Heat to deal Jimmy Butler based on there's a lot of interest in him?

00:11As you would imagine there would be, and you're talking about Mavs,

00:15Rockets allegedly are interested in him, and the fact that he's always injured.

00:19So are they really getting what they want out of Jimmy Butler in Miami anymore?

00:26And to me, it's kind of now or never.

00:29If you're going to deal him, wouldn't you deal him when he's still a commodity?

00:34Whereas if he continues to never play in Miami,

00:39if they keep it up a year from now, nobody will want him.

00:44I am with you.

00:45I would sell now, while someone's still willing to pay a high price for him,

00:51I would do it.

00:52He's 35 years old.

00:54He gave you a couple of runs.

00:56I know you didn't win with him, but he gave you a couple deep runs.

01:00I don't think that their team is good enough to have another one of those

01:04in the next year or two or three while he's still there.

01:08I would start moving the train out.

01:10I would send him to one of those.

01:12Think about him with Dallas, if he stayed healthy,

01:16and you added him to that team that went to the finals last year,

01:20him, Clay, Luca, Kyrie, that would be a pretty formidable group.

01:26If he went there.

01:28That would put them in that conversation for winning it all again,

01:34if they were to do that.

01:36I don't know.

01:37I think with the Rockets, which is the other place that's been discussed,

01:41maybe he puts them up to another level, not the top floor,

01:45but he's going to move them up a level,

01:47and they've been really good so far this year.

01:50I would sell while you can still get something good.
