00:18I mean, you said a barkeep because the last night sure looked like Tobin was hitting that

00:32bottle after that he lost to the buck.

00:35You know, I did.

00:36I did hit the bottle yesterday, Vlad.

00:38I need to find something that burns a little bit more because sometimes don't you don't

00:41you feel like this when you drink?

00:42Like if you need a sad drink, you need something with a little burn to it.

00:46You know, it can't be too sweet.

00:48Uh, like some, some type of real hole, like burp, Kentucky bourbon, you know, you know,

00:56Jay fake something that like if I, if I burp and there was a spark around, I look like

00:59a dragon.

01:00Like, that's what I'm talking about.

01:02Or tequila.

01:03Oh, I love a sad tequila.

01:04No, no, no, no, no, no, but you know, you could also always drink that, that scotch

01:13that I have that tastes like cigarette.

01:16That was awful, dude.

01:17Or go some from like really good, uh, moonshine, like some very blue one, the blue one, something

01:26about moonshine that just seems like hooliganism more than sadness though, you know, no, you'll

01:32be very sad.

01:33You took it the, uh, yesterday they named the starters for the all-star team and, but

01:38then Shaq, Kenny and Chuck put out their reserves and they'd okie doke us because Shaq had Tyler

01:45hero.

01:46Then took him down.

01:47And then he said, nevermind.

01:48Lamella ball.

01:49Well, the problem is the problem is, is that from what I was getting, they didn't know

01:55who the starters were and they picked the 12 all-stars, but some of their reserves were

02:03starters.

02:04Right.

02:05Kenny's got, it got kind of, well, they made fun of Kenny cause Kenny just put five players.

02:10He didn't put any guards.

02:13He just put his five best players as his starters.

02:15And then Shaq, and then Chuck had bam out of bio and then he goes, nah, nevermind.

02:20Tyler hero has been way better than bam on a bio this year, which is fair, which is fair,

02:25but I didn't like that.

02:26Shaq, come on, man.

02:27You can just take Tyler hero off your list.

02:30He's also the same person siding with Jimmy.

02:33So well, yeah, he could side with them because he's done that.

02:38He knows what, how that feels.

02:40Yeah.

02:41But the problem is, is that here's the thing.

02:44And I, and, uh, I forgot who put it on the, on the, on the chat, uh, watching the Twitch

02:51and yeah.

02:54You say you looking at it from a human level with Mark Andrews, right?

03:01Shaq was looking at, at a human level as a player, like, Oh, you don't want me anymore.

03:06Well, I don't want you.

03:07But here's where that doesn't hold water.

03:11We're paying you for the next two years.

03:15So you want me to, so I'm supposed to say, you don't want me two years from now.

03:19I'm not going to play now.

03:20Okay.

03:21Then give the money back.

03:22Give the money back then.

03:23Oh, they're trying to get it back.

03:24Do you understand Vlad?

03:25I get it.

03:26Look, I'm not, I'm not co-signing them.

03:27We're not talking about now.

03:28We're not talking about like his contract is getting ready to expire.

03:29And they haven't extended him.

03:39We are talking about the year 2027 that, Oh, y'all don't want me.

03:46Y'all don't want a 37 year old me.

03:48Well, I don't want you now.

03:51I genuinely don't even think Jimmy Butler wanted to play until he was 37.

03:53I just think the money's gotten too crazy in the NBA.

03:56Everybody's like, Oh man, I gotta get.

04:00Like, how could you turn down $60 million guaranteed?

04:02You know, if they're going to give it to you, right.

04:04But I'm saying like when Jimmy first signed with the heat, when he was 29, like he said,

04:08I don't, I don't plan to play until I'm 37.

04:10They're giving us how much now at 37, how much LeBron is getting at 40.

04:15And I know I don't, I, I get that, but I don't understand why you think this is the best

04:22way to go about it.

04:23I don't understand that.

04:25I just, I just can't, I get it in football that if your contract is up and you want to

04:33make a stink, there's reasons why you have to make a stink because football contracts

04:39are not guaranteed, right?

04:42And so that new contract will set you up.

04:45I get all that.

04:46That's not the case in baseball and basketball.

04:50Jimmy is not on the last year of his deal.

04:56Jimmy can get paid a hundred million dollars in the next two years.

05:00Okay.

05:01What he has a big problem with, which we didn't notice when the season started, cause he said

05:09he was going to hoop.

05:10So let's start there too.

05:13He didn't make a stink the whole time.

05:17This is just a recent thing.

05:19Far as we knew, far as what Jimmy told us, he was coming out to ball.

05:24That's his words.

05:25This is six man.

05:26Stink came off the bench, but to have to, to say, I'm not going to work for the money

05:37that you're paying me now because you refuse to pay me two years from now.

05:43That's where Chuck doesn't relate, right?

05:48Or D Wade and D and D Wade's been through it too with Pat, obviously.

05:53And D Wade, his contract was up.

05:56Yeah.

05:58It wasn't a situation like Jimmy.

06:00No, but it was, but he's, but I think that when you say, yeah, I think, and I think that's

06:06why he doesn't have many basketball players on his side from the money perspective.

06:11Some people have said, Oh, you know, like we've heard what D Wade shot down with the

06:14Paul Pierce of like, Oh, just, you know, people aren't going to like Pat Riley ruling with

06:20an iron fist.

06:21And that's the thing that's crazy about this.

06:22That's missed with all those arguments is they haven't ruled Jimmy with an iron fist,

06:27right?

06:28They let him do whatever he wants the entire time.

06:34There has been no iron fist.

06:36I know.

06:37What do you want me to do?

06:38Dude?

06:39I'm sorry.

06:40But then if I don't talk about it, you'll be like, I can't believe they're talking about

06:43Cain's women's hoops.

06:44Can't win with Smith.

06:45What do you want us to talk about?

06:50He doesn't chaos.

06:51He's an agent of chaos.

06:52No, but then what exactly?

06:53So then what do you want to talk about?

06:57We hit the football.

06:58He doesn't want it.

06:59He just wants us to, this is exactly what he wants.

07:02He wants us to pit us against each other so he can tell us all to go to hell.

07:05He's cackling in his room right now, but because you go for a green, that's why he's upset

07:10then.

07:11I don't know.

07:12Yeah.

07:13I mean, compared to, has kind of gotten tired of Jimmy in the recent few days, I've always

07:20been pretty much in the same spot, right?

07:25Like you, a team, you signed a contract three years ago that's supposed to last until 2026

07:35and you're going to stop playing for that contract because they won't pay you in 2027.

07:40Yeah.

07:42That's a hard, it's a, it's, it's, it's not a great look, but the thing that like is always

07:48been is like, I just don't understand how you could tank out on your teammates, especially

07:52teammates that you've been teammates with that long.

07:54But that goes to show you that like, yeah, as long as it's about me, it's about we, there's

08:00people like that because people are like, Oh, as long, as long as I'm going good, right?

08:06Then we good.

08:07People be like, Oh, good.

08:09And I'm not going good.

08:11Then we ain't good.

08:12Like people are like, Oh, they're paying him like a third option.

08:14Like he makes 15 million more than anybody this year or next year.

08:17No, he's not.

08:18Like, no, he's not young right now.

08:20If you really think about it, like from the inception, the team from when he got here,

08:25the only people that's there is Bam and Tyler Duncan and Duncan play with Haywood and they

08:33might be done.

08:34So with his antics, at least it looks like him in 13.

08:37Can I just say this?

08:40We are all also not looking at the realization that the biggest issue that Pat had with Jimmy

08:52was the amount of games he was playing.

08:55Right?

08:57And so Jimmy's basically saying to Pat, I'm a pace, play 60 games.

09:04You either like it or don't like it.

09:08And I'm going to make a stink if you don't pay me for 2027 fake John Crowdy says time

09:13to send them to the wizards.

09:15No, but I am curious that now I got now I am intrigued if the heat don't do the son's

09:22thing and they do just send them to the Grizzlies.

09:24I'm curious to see what then what be like, it's not our headache.

09:30But we're making a, here's the assumption that everybody's making that I'm not going

09:35to make.

09:36We're assuming that once Jimmy goes somewhere else, he won't start balling.

09:39Oh yeah.

09:40A hundred percent.

09:41Right.

09:42I'm not ready to, because I was not that easy.

09:46If it were that easy, he would have been doing it.

09:50I told, I was talking, I was on a sports radio today in Phoenix and they're like, do you

09:55think like, is, do you think he would work here?

09:58I'm like, guys, I'm never going to doubt Jimmy Butler, but I haven't seen him play basketball

10:02for real season a month.

10:04So I don't know.

10:05I don't know what he's going to be like, but if we're going by his track record, because

10:08we all know that his track record, when he does, he's not getting a contract or he's

10:12when he wants money and he's not getting it from the team that he's playing for, is that

10:18he causes stink and he's never done it.

10:21It's traded, but it does get traded.

10:23He starts playing well again.

10:25Yeah.

10:26It's 35 though.

10:28It's only gone bad.

10:29It's only gone bad on playing here.

10:32Like in the Minnesota thing, what did it last a game?

10:36You know, like he had the, everybody even knows the infamous practice.

10:38Nobody talks about him.

10:39No, but I'm just saying that what I was saying was he was causing a stink in Chicago, went

10:46to Minnesota causes thinking Minnesota went to Philadelphia.

10:49They were, they were Kawhi Leonard.

10:53He never, he never didn't play.

10:56He never didn't play, right?

10:58Yeah.

10:59They play.

11:00Like he played great in Philadelphia.

11:01You can never say he didn't play.

11:04This is a new twist to this.

11:07Like if Jimmy was making a stink, but balling, we wouldn't be having these conversations.

11:13It's a different type of person.

11:15I mean, those are situations he, you could walk through that or the organization like

11:19Philadelphia, Minnesota, you're not going to walk through Pat in Miami.

11:23So you got to cause a different type of stink in order for you to get what you want.

11:28Should we, uh, should we talk more Jimmy Butler?

11:33If he's dead to you, he's not dead to me.

11:35He's not that I actually have a dead to me that I've been holding onto all week.
