00:00Let me ask you about Jimmy Butler.

00:04There's a lot of teams allegedly that want him, the Mavericks, the Rockets.

00:09There's been talk of the dubs, the suns.

00:13What are they saying in Miami about Jimmy Butler?

00:17Because Jimmy Butler misses lots of games.

00:19They've never got it done with Jimmy Butler.

00:21They went to the finals.

00:22They lost.

00:23They haven't sniffed it since is now the time to sell him before he's not worth as much.

00:29Yeah, well, Scotty, the bottom line is they're already a year too late, right?

00:35I mean, Belichick, you got to love him.

00:36Belichick used to say, I'd rather move on a year early as opposed to a year late.

00:42And that's kind of where the Miami Heat are with him.

00:46Plus he's going to have the final say as to where and what he, where is he going to go?

00:51I mean, he does, he doesn't want to go to a team that's in a rebuild mode.

00:55He wants to go to a contender.

00:57But how many teams can actually afford to bring Jimmy Butler into the mix?

01:02So it's very limited.

01:05Sure, Jimmy would, would be reluctant to go.

01:08He loves Miami, loves the people, but he understands the business.

01:12And the reality is Miami Heat fans, Scotty, are on that same page where we probably should

01:17have let him go a year ago.

01:19And not now.

01:20Now it's just get what you can get and move on.

01:24I wonder if he could put the Mavericks over the top after the run they went on last year

01:28with what they already have, how deep they already are, if they added that piece to it.

01:33Let me ask you real quick about the Panthers, a big game tonight at Rogers Place in Edmonton

01:37against the Edmonton Oilers, who've been on fire of late.

01:40And the Panthers have had a couple of tough losses of late.

01:43How do you think they'll do tonight in Edmonton?

01:45Yeah, well, this would be a good, I mean, the Oilers are rolling right now, right?

01:49And apparently the Panthers forgot how to score on this West Coast trip here.

01:55But I think this is exactly the spot where a team like the Panthers with the championship

02:00medal, they will show up and they will show out here tonight as a small dog, Scotty.

02:06I think they come out blazing.

02:08And I think they might even been looking ahead to this game here tonight, the last couple

02:12of games.

02:13So I'm all right with backing the Panthers and plus money.
