00:00You and I keep talking about Jimmy Butler, like when are they going to cut the cancer

00:04out of the Miami Heat because he has destroyed the team.

00:08I don't care what anybody says, the team's destroyed.

00:11And what is the deal with this five team trade?

00:14What are the particulars?

00:15We're hearing him to the Suns, like Portis and Middleton that Miami, Beale to Chicago.

00:22What else is happening in this big deal that's allegedly going to happen?

00:26I mean, listen, it's kind of crazy here, first off, that we continue to talk about this every

00:34single time.

00:35Folks, I only come on the show like once or twice a week.

00:37I feel like we've been talking about this for, what, two months?

00:41But the particulars of the trade is a five team trade, right?

00:44Phoenix will receive Jimmy Butler, Chicago will get Bradley Beale and DraftPix, Milwaukee

00:49gets Zach Levine, Miami gets Middleton, Covington and DraftPix, and Detroit gets Bobby Portis.

00:54And if you think about it, the salaries match up.

00:57It makes sense.

00:58Why?

00:59Kevin O'Connor, I think, was one of the first people to, I think, report this.

01:03One, because of the trade that Utah made with Phoenix, they got those three first round

01:08picks.

01:09So there's that draft pick-up that they got from Utah that can now push them out, right?

01:13Miami will get Chris Middleton, somebody that can come off the bench, Pat Covington, fortify

01:19the bench, and DraftPix, right?

01:21Bobby Portis, experienced, will go to Detroit.

01:23A team I think makes the playoffs.

01:25Zach Levine becomes that two guard next to Damian Lillard, a guy that's a proven scorer,

01:30can shoot it from three.

01:31And Bradley Beale can go become the number one option in Chicago along with DraftPix.

01:38So it makes a lot of sense.

01:40What doesn't make a lot of sense is the fact that Jimmy Butler continues to act like a

01:44grade-A you-know-what.

01:45And it's getting worse.

01:49And if you're Riley, you're right.

01:52If you're not trading them yet, you've got to cut them, you've got to get them off the

01:57team, away from the team, because it continues to be a headache.

02:01This Miami team is sitting at the 7th or 8th place in the Eastern Conference.

02:06They are fighting for their playoff loss.

02:07Now, I don't think they make the playoffs, but they still should be able to get in the

02:11play-in right now and be possibly a factor.

02:14And that's when you get Spolster in a one-game situation, arguably the best coach in the

02:18league.

02:19You've got to get this trade done sooner or later.

02:21I think it gets done before the deadline.

02:23Yeah, I mean, I've heard everything.

02:25Butler and DeLon Wright to the Suns, Dunn, Middleton, and Portis to the Heat, Bowles

02:31get Beale, Bucks get Levine.

02:34I mean, there's so many.

02:37The Dallas has been mentioned, Golden State has been mentioned, Houston has been mentioned.

02:44What do you believe?

02:45Because I trust you.

02:48I think it's Phoenix.

02:49I think he's going to try and get his way to Phoenix.

02:52That team is basically just saying they have to make a move.

02:55They have to make forward right now.

02:57If you get Jimmy Butler engaged, does that make Phoenix a title contender?

03:02Yes, it does.

03:04It does.

03:05Because they're also going to turn around Pharrell because that trade for Nick Richards

03:08has been really good.

03:09I think 15.3, 12.3 in about 28 minutes.

03:12I knew Nick Richards was going to be a great trade.

03:14They still could also take Yusup Nurkic and move him for other parts to try and fortify

03:19that bet.

03:20He barely plays.

03:21What is going on there with Budenholzer and his Nurkic?

03:25Forget he barely plays.

03:27He don't play.

03:28They don't play at all.

03:29I know.

03:30I know.

03:31Well, listen.

03:32Well, at the end of the day, listen.

03:33Yusup Nurkic is a defensive liability.

03:34He doesn't really guard anyone.

03:36And Nick Richards is so— Sounds like me.

03:38Well, you know, it sounds like me, too.

03:41At 48.

03:42You're getting—hey.

03:43At 48 years old.

03:44At 49, son.

03:45Either way, you're getting one-sided the ball with Pharrell and Coach Young, and it ain't

03:51going to be our defense.

03:52So, I'm going to score and get mine.

03:53I don't worry about— That's what's up.

03:54That's what's up.

03:55But when you look at it, yeah.

03:56It just makes sense for them to get rid of him, too.

03:57Listen.

03:58Besides Richards and Plumlee, they're going to play the Iguodoro kids from Marquette as

03:59well.

04:00So, yeah.

04:01Pharrell doesn't like it.

04:02We don't play no damn defense.

04:03Come on now.

04:04Hey.

04:05Hey.

04:06Hey.

04:07Hey.

04:08Hey.

04:09Hey.

04:10Hey.

04:11Hey.

04:12Hey.
