00:00last big decision which of course was lebron james coming down to south florida a blissful

00:07four years until he hightailed it back to cleveland and uh linked backed up with that

00:13rat bastard dan gilbert how many years did it take you to get over this i would say probably

00:20give or take six but i'm a different guy now i'm a different guy now i'm not petty anymore i wish

00:31lebron nothing but the best it has gone to my son though i mean he still calls him a rat thing

00:35see what you started well i'm sorry i didn't you you know what you learn about your kids leroy

00:44you never know when they're listening i try and tell me it's here we're over here's the problem

00:49though right jimmy was more of a rat fink than lebron because regardless of how lebron left

00:59he did leave as a free agent so he never didn't play when he was in a heat uniform

01:07for sure although from that from that standpoint you can question contract contract aside i mean

01:15honesty wasn't necessarily the best policy there but his contract was up so you can you can get mad

01:20you can get mad at you know well i'm not that guy anymore i'm not mad anymore you know i feel

01:29differently you know and and so that brings me to this story interesting

01:33this is from uh what is this this is larry brown sports

01:40they have a blurb here from uh one of the reporters from the lakers says a new report

01:47suggested lebron james future with the la lakers is not necessarily a guarantee

01:52in a youtube live stream on wednesday jovan buha of the athletic suggested there is some tension

01:59between james and the lakers front office and there remains a chance that james could opt out of his

02:06contract and leave in free agency he does not see that as the likely outcome but he said quote

02:12there's always a chance lebron can walk and as we've reported at the athletic multiple times

02:16this is not just my reporting it's been sam amix as well that the relationship has been a little

02:23frosty at times it hasn't always been the warmest over the past couple years

02:30i think lebron is going to be a laker next year it's just a matter of opting in or out or is he

02:36going to be signing but throws it out there that maybe he doesn't like uh the way everything's going

02:44remember he had that comment after the season leroy making little jokes

02:49all right let me so no no no no one has to wonder let me break this down for you fraud one has to

03:00wonder if he were to look for a new destination oh because he has a no trade clause as well

03:08can i just you you will change every belief you have to make your new point what you've been petty

03:21about lebron believing and how he left for so long yep but yet soon as you got this story

03:28you will admit or suggest you're not that guy anymore because there's a chance that lebron could end up back

03:37here i haven't been that guy and i haven't been that guy for years and i think you know that you're

03:43now saying that i'm switching up as the kids say i'm not it's just i've grown i've grown i've gotten

03:49more mature you call it grown i call it switching no it's not switching it's not switching i'm just

03:56saying it's very interesting like what is he going to go to a sixth team you know like what is lebron

04:03james gonna go beyond the jazz if he was to look for a soft landing you know be interesting that's

04:12all i'm saying it's all i'm saying and you know i think he cares about his son's future you know he

04:19wants to be in a place where brawny gets the right development he just certainly wouldn't want to be

04:25with that podcaster and you know what i i could smell this a mile away lebron james he's already

04:32off jj reddick he he knows he's created a monster he's he knows he's created a monster like that's just

04:39the fact that do you even listen to what you read what the problem has been with lakers brass for a

04:50couple of years so that's before jj reddick got there yeah so now you're saying he's rats off his

04:57ship with jj reddick when the the what we just heard has nothing to do with jj reddick but you

05:05just threw jj reddick in there well of course i mean jj reddick's gonna have his his his greedy

05:10paw prints all over the place because jj reddick you know he wants his paw prints all over the place

05:14but we did notice the other day pat riley was at the clutch combine run by rich paul

05:25possible a little conversation happened a little bit of hey hey pat pat pat pat

05:31hey so now what's uh what's up rich and he goes remember how we uh snuck out of miami

05:42the the the those years past you know we had dan gilbert you know uh in secrecy at the rusty

05:47pelican how'd you like to pull that off here why don't we go to la's version of the rusty pelican

05:54have a little chat he goes oh all right why can't we just talk right here

06:00because because rich paul likes having secret meetings it's like his thing here's the deal though

06:05you lost the privilege of getting a pat riley secret meeting

06:11when you didn't handle that last meeting professional so i'm not chasing you no more

06:18what if he offers to buy dairy queen

06:22could you imagine pat riley on a eating old soft serve or flurry or flurry

06:32huh the old love of soft serve ice i do not no well you're not pat riley's age no i don't like

06:40like i don't like the like remember the the yogurt places they used to have in the mall where you go

06:46and you make your own ice cream cone i used to see them nasty ass kids in there playing with that

06:51ice cream i'm not going in there and mess with that ice cream jay gatto says lebron got luca and now

06:56he wants to leave can't make this bleep up well here's the thing who said he wanted to leave

07:01maybe he didn't jump in oh my goodness maybe he's looking at luca and he goes

07:07can't win with this guy you know so maybe he's just i don't know and he knows that he's got a

07:15coach who can't figure things out i mean that's very clear he's got a guy weighing over his head

07:20are you trying to are you trying to make the situation so that lebron wants to come back to

07:25miami i don't know that he wants to come to back back to miami it's just interesting wouldn't you say

07:31that no interesting no no what i wouldn't say it's interesting

07:38so you think no shot he leaves the lakers i'd rather watch pbr this weekend

07:46huh pb what is it bull riding professional bull riding oh you'd rather watch professional bull

07:54riding than him leave the lakers no then listening to these ridiculous stories it's not ridiculous

08:00it's been multiple people say there's a little bit of tension a little bit of tension and you

08:06jumped to the all the way conclusion i mean he's how many how much time has he got left you know

08:12he's probably looking around not he's got enough time for you to still want him you know what i

08:16would bet lebron wants what

08:18got two years left you want them in the west everyone's looking at this east licking their

08:27chops leroy i'm telling you everyone's looking at this east licking their chops i'm telling you

08:33dude i'm telling you so if lebron's is just like get on the east team he could beat the knicks and

08:39the pacers let's say it again but you don't think what if he goes to the knicks

08:44possible possible i don't think he will because they already got their team lebron

08:52what who julius randall he's on he's on the wolves oh i get him he was on there he was

09:06and anobi is very similar

09:09uh yeah he's got thing i mean like wing defender yeah he's not he's not as good but i'm saying

09:17like okay uh-uh if you if you want to be and and think about the future of your son right like

09:26the lakers have cast off young guy after young guy right think about the heat the heat gonna send

09:31him to the yoke soon as he hits the tarmac the yotes are gonna get him good listen

09:37you can't make a cake if you don't have the proper ingredients oh i think you're underestimating

09:46the heat's uh baking products okay macgyver what

09:49you know macgyver you know if anybody can make bronny a thing that he could make him a thing

09:56true true man wait maybe lebron's thinking that exactly dude that's what i'm saying

10:04that's what i'm saying you know oh it's funny it's funny how you're pushing for this now

10:13what what do you mean you know what the hell i mean stop what do you mean fraudulent behavior

10:20it was interesting though pat riley mentioned aging stars right did he not talk about how he

10:25would he would welcome an aging star everybody thought it was kd but that's not that's not an

10:30aging star that's the aging star right but he everybody thought he was talking about kd what if

10:38you probably wouldn't have to get rid of nobody yeah i mean if you did a no trade if you did a trade

10:46like yeah we'll give you we'll do salary you guys can have wiggins he's like lebron everybody said

10:51oh wiggins is like lebron they could have andrew wiggins well i would still like to keep wiggins

10:57like i don't i i'm gonna give him more of a break than anybody else will because i know what that's

11:04like picking up and moving to another town especially with a newborn and what happened so i'm gonna be

11:10a little try to be a little more understanding understood but if you but i would but i will say this

11:16okay there's only one guy that lebron has proven he does not want to play with and that's when he

11:28shipped wiggins out that's right shipped his ass out right so i don't know where that is now

11:32and you know who loves lebron loves him who even though they had frostiness when they played in
