Jimmy Butler Isn’t Sweating Claims From ESPN That Miami Heat Walls Are Closing In

Jimmy Butler Isn’t Sweating Claims From ESPN That Miami Heat Walls Are Closing In

so let’s get to this the uh this a little bit of heat fod out there yesterday Leroy they were talking about him briefly on NBA today you know some summer story lines they were talking this the jump off point of this was Terry roer’s comments about uh the fans being bored and you know we’re excited to run it back and you know some some would say you know is Terry roier speaking to me about the fans being bored and wanting shakeups I don’t know it’s hard to say but um Zack low of the low poost he uh he had to say on the uh the Miami Heat now he is uh he he is I feel this has done many times but he is uh discussing the status of the Miami Heat and where they are at and he has described it as uh time may be up for them the walls are closing in the walls are starting to close in on the heat Jimmy Butler is a year older he’s in the last year of his contract we don’t know what happens there Caleb Martin’s departure is a huge loss for them he just filled out so many their lineups and the top of the East is better look Tera your right we barely got to see this team played together healthy after they traded for him but it’s an uphill climb now this team has finished six their worst in the East three out of the last four years I don’t know why we should expect a great regular season from them and it’s just hard to come from the bottom every year in the playoffs right isn’t it funny though like it’s always amazing to me how the heat rotation players leaving then it’s a then it’s a valuable blow to the rotation but when they’re here nobody gives a rat’s ass about them like they can’t even name them they’re all just the undrafted guys like I saw Chris manx wrote about this too where he had said that uh that the the recent Exodus of rotation players Martin stru and Vincent is alarming and I’m like yeah it’s alarming if you don’t watch if you don’t watch what they’re gonna do and replace them immediately with Kesha Johnson so I mean you could it’s just it’s it’s only it’s only alarming once they leave but once they’re here they don’t they don’t get they don’t care about them but once they become Lakers or they become Sixers then all of a sudden they’re the missing piece it’s a it’s a it’s a Marvel it’s a Marvel to see that it’s a Marvel to see that um but the walls are closing in uh on the heat and Jimmy Butler Jimmy Butler uh you know is right now Leroy very concerned about people thinking that the the walls are closing in on the Miami Heat as as you could imagine very stressed out about this as in the uh in the midst of this he is at some bar and he is uh singing [Music] shabzi that’s a man who’s concerned about the walls closing in nothing he has no concern in the world by the way do you love this yes you love this yeah I do Leroy I can’t believe they didn’t extend him um it’s offseason IID say live your best life love but I would also say that when it’s time to go to work go to work Toby is such Toby is the worst man why you just said he oh they should offer him the contract cented they should have but two days ago you were like LeBron F Jimmy no no no what I said was you saying what I said was one has to wonder with because because LeBron can’t go until the middle of the season anyway one has to wonder if it did go Ary if it did go Ary is SPO just laying the groundwork for a plan B let’s just say the Lakers and Heat both get off to Gnarly starts you know is is all of a sudden that that that bridge now repaired in a spot where spoke could pull the trigger on that the man’s not dumb the man’s the man is not going to sit here and not leave himself with options that’s what makes him the best that’s what makes him the best Gotta Love toes man to’s the same guy that wanted a trace SPO that’s not true first of all you always got to take I just want to say this to people you always got to take July Sports talk with a grain of salt and second of all second of all all I said was at the time when that happened we were talking about you said July Sports you got you you know you box your son you know you box your ju Sports dog is a different animal dude he just July Sports dog is a different animal and what I’m telling you is when I said back in the day I just threw it out there when the Miami Heat because you gotta you gotta just throw these things you say oh you traded SPO no what I said was at the time Pat Riley said I was no I was nowhere close to retiring this was after their bubbles vinyl run Brad Stevens had just left to go to the front office and you had Wonder does SPO at the time did he always always want to be just the coach or did he want to be running his own organization one had to wonder did he have his eye on Portland hashtag Sportland but I wasn’t G giving him up for nothing so at the time see uh our guys grind through a pretty ugly first half I would like him to rip his team publicly from time to time but what I was saying was is would there be a possibility that he would ever have his eye on going somewhere else but I’m not giving up for nothing he was arguably the Heat’s best Trad asset so they would had to give up Damen Lillard for me to give up SPO so don’t make it seem like I just want SPO out of here that’s not what happened this was July Talk right yeah July Talk okay and last year’s July Talk was what Damen Lillard yeah so and what happened we needed to get a tranquilizer gun because of you yeah because so July Sports I was in a dark place though I I’ll admit that take July I wasn’t proud of my behavior Vlad and you’re trying to bring up I’m a changed man every July you do this no that’s not fair dude that’s not fair oh my that’s not fair you’re doing this every July and then you just say take July Sports talk with a grain Sal everybody knows you have to take July Sports talk with a grain of salt you love July sports that’s when you get on your boat and start whale hunting well not this year this I mean I’m a different guy you say that every year oh man every year all I care about right now is khaw Johnson pel Larson kle wear I’m talking about my guys that’s all I haime hakz taking over summer league these are the things I care about right now these are a few of my favorite things ler am I wrong in saying that Tobin July Sports is Tobin’s toan’s might be your favorite time of the year no that’s not fair yes I think specul speculation talk is your favorite I’m not speculating about anything bro you Leroy what does he come in every Monday man NBA Reddit this weekend W NBA I can’t help that’s every Monday if anything if anything on fire this week it’s really the audience as because they stoked the Flames like they’re always going to me and they’re trying to make this in the place of toin did you see this to you know I can’t help it like I got people talking about Brandon Ingram in my ear not constantly I’m just trying to get a sub from Publix and people want to know about Brandon Ingram and I’m like I don’t really see it I don’t think so he’s got durability questions 208 million lot of money for him I don’t know and then people are like you know I’m just trying to go about my day trying to take Sunny Bunny to the dog gromer what do you think about Lowry marketting Tobin I’m like I you know I would say it’s probably unlikely so I I I I see what you’re saying Vlad it seems like I act the same but I don’t I’m really trying to change it’s just that people always are in my ear and sometimes you gota as a showman you have to give the people what they want you know what I’m saying Leroy no I’m not listening I can only toally avoiding completely out what are you doing right now he’s to no I’m not I’m not doing nothing I’m just like like enough of this enough of what you wish watching flip-flopping like every year go through the same thing a different I’m not worried about Jimmy Butler serious to Jimmy Butler is going to come with a Vengeance this year dude I’m telling you right now can I just tell you you know going into my last year my body said that no my mind said that but my body didn’t and I was not aware that my body was not going to follow my heart and it happens all of a sudden I’m not saying Jimmy can’t have a career year I’m saying not that Jimmy can’t have a big year I’m not saying that but what I am saying is for people to just think that he just gonna turn it on after having a series of injuries like that right at 35 36 you’re being foolish why does he look like he’s 18 because of the baggy pants why does he look like he’s like the extra in the X Games he looks like he should be doing he loves X Games now that’s his new thing his new thing is X Games he went to the X Games this year he’s big to the bag but he was wearing baggy pants last year in the locker room he look like little Wayne when Little Wayne was skateboarding I think he’s in the [Music] skateboard never more confident in this man hey I’ve never seen more uncomfortable white people than a black dud singing a country song look at them guys in the back with the flag all the instruments flag in the background all the instruments nobody moving with the flag in the back wait wait wait wait wait shot guy hey that come on look at this guy’s coming for blood this year I love okay okay all right his mind is coming for blood we don’t know what his body coming for yet he was his his body’s gonna his body he didn’t want his body hurt last year either I understand I understand he said it’s that time and his body said not today no I told dude why do you fall for it Jimmy Butler makes me fall for it I what do reality you’ve been around Sports long enough to see what old people do it happens baby like sometimes sometimes sometimes so you think so you think last year was an anomaly and it’s gonna get better sometimes I don’t know at 35 it might dude it might D way had a over over under 65 games for Jimmy over okay okay over over 65 over yeah exactly vad what do you mean I mean unless they have it wrapped up you know like but no den he I don’t understand why people call me rain clout I’m the one that’s keeping the the realist here don’t you hate when you when you’re real you keep everything real and there ain’t nothing here flad I can live with there ain’t nothing that I said wasn’t true okay nothing it ain’t got no Hate It Ain’t Got No Malice in what I’m saying that’s reality I can live with that you jackasses that’s think that that’s being a hater you’re the ones that’s living in the dream world yeah that seems like the same speech I got before the buck series what Buck series you know what Buck series oh two years ago yeah two years ago Act I always say this Sports is sports that’s why you play the games Anything Can Happen nobody can have a bounceback year I’m not saying that I’m saying that your chance of having a bounceback year closer to 40 than 30 he’s 34 yeah but he’s like 38 in tibs years what that’s not science that’s tips 35 is not old hold on how do you over it 35 is not old but if you’ve played an extensive amount of basketball in the postseason postseason basketball adds another two to three years in your career I know but he had no postseason basketball typical reply of a hater I’m just keeping it real he’s okay tell me here I would like to I would like to I would like to ask any of you say anything that I’ve said that isn’t hasn’t been accurate well we don’t know if it’s accurate I’m just going with listen I don’t know either but I’m telling you the reality of it is is that when you get to this age the bounce back year don’t come like you think that’s a reality you don’t think a summer off’s gonna help I just said right I just said like yeah it could happen right but the likelihood of a 35 year old having a bounceback year is not as big as you think you’re just saying oh chalk it up chalk it up just like you did last playoffs chalk it up chalk it up Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy yeah sometimes sometimes you’re the bull sometimes you’re the horns dude happens what does that have to do with what we’re talking about because one year I was I was spot on you said I was wrong last year you said I was going to be wrong and you were right so like it happened no it’s not matter of being wrong and right it’s the reality of sports which you tend to never pay attention to no that’s not fair you don’t that’s that’s not fair I can’t let you say things that are not fair that’s not fair okay because let me can I ask you a question what do your thoughts on um Kevin Love love him okay guy but but but yeah he’s old uh he does what he does no but he’s old so you know you know where he is a year off of him and play more basketball than him does he look just a year younger than him no but that’s not okay dude see this this is why I get frustrated having these because me stating an absolute fact about sports you’re comparing to Kevin Love dude no I’m just saying that when you get older you like that you say doesn’t come at you and say hey we’re getting older AG just goes we’re here Leroy he one guy plays 15 minutes a game while the other is the team’s back why does he play 15 minutes a game because that’s what he can handle okay and so you think Jimmy’s going to be able to handle 30 35 yes every year after year after year yes based on what he he plays a lot of minutes that’s what he does but you’re missing my question no you’re making it seem like like everybody at the same age like is everybody LeBron James at 40 nobody LeBron James okay so what like Kyle Lowry at 37 is not LeBron James at 40 not everybody’s the same Leroy that’s the point understand at 34 34 but you always assume your guy is gonna be that anomaly but you’re assuming that he’s gonna be Kevin Love and he’s not no I’m just willing to admit the realities of getting willing to admit no you’re not willing to admit the realities because the reality is he very much could have a bounceback season but you don’t want acknowledge that I said he could I said he could you’re not making it seem like that I said he could but I said the reality of it is people get on the other side of 35 they don’t have bounceback years here’s the question what’s a bounceback year for Jimmy correct there all he’s got to do is play wait a minute what he’s one of the most consistent players in the league I get that but back here and and and I’m and I’m piggybacking of a point that stunning Steve red wrote Because for the amount of money that Jimmy wants for his contract extension but his production is worth it it’s just a question of availability so availability that’s literally it like you’re going to say he’s not he’s he’s I think he’s one of only two players to be with his stats with uh his points assists rebounds and steals he’s like it’s him and dejonte Murray in the league who could do that the mix bag is brought to you by Broward Health well into your future guys get in on the chat I apologize go ahead I’m I’m guiding the the the Uber guy to my house because for some reason they don’t know how to get the way they’re going and fairness getting into your house is like getting into Fort Knox I guess Street he was on the other side of the street with the The Little Creek behind my house saying I’m here dude I’m not jumping I got your wings I’m not jumping across the creek to get my food man uh mixed bag uh you got this Bobby Marx uh Bobby marks was on ESPN yesterday and uh he has said uh he has heard the anger of the Heat fan because of the lack of movement here was uh ESPN’s Bobby marks on NBA today I live in South Florida congratul fans not right now it’s hot down there Heat fans want more they want more they see what Boston has did last year they see what New York has done they saw with um certainly Philadelphia as far as loading up here but as Zach said what else can you do they’re limited on their draft picks they can send out they would have loved to get demard D Roan they tried as heck to get Demar D rozan nobody wanted Duncan Robinson no offense they had one first round pick to trade they wanted TI Jones they couldn’t make a deal here so they’re basically kind of it’s about Fringe moves as far as what they can do all right there you go Bobby marks saying uh that he tried like heck to get demard D rozan even though it really doesn’t feel like they did try like heck to get Demar d rozan um according to you bounceback Jimmy is going to get it done yeah now a month ago you were saying you wanted something new I do want something new I still want something new but I want it alongside Jimmy and bam oh you think that’s gonna be a little hard to do what do I think is gonna be hard to do that I would say getting getting a a highlevel player would be harder than just hoping Jimmy bounce back yeah I would agree resources you have I would agree asking for a Jimmy Butler bounceback would be easier than trying to get a star player who we don’t know who’s available yet right correct we’re in agreement there and then here’s the other problem so there’s going to be a bunch of teams that say we’re GNA ride it out with our guy and then in December they’re gonna want to start trade trading guys yep that he are going to be a part of that and then we’re going to start the whole process over in the beginning of January saying oh they need 20 30 games to play together or whatever right we’ve done this that’s that’s that’s what that’s what this season looks like I think it depends on the higher level of player though like you know it’s it’s it’s one of those things where like you know adding Terry roier to a mix as opposed to let’s just say Trey young like but no I’m saying Kyrie was added to uh Luca and that thing didn’t kick in until the middle middle of a year later but they did they did purposfully tank at the end though too yeah them bums like they did they they purposfully T I got you I got you so are you saying like you would be against them making a big trade in the middle of the Season I’m just saying that it making a big trade in the middle of the season is equivalent to buying more time because it how often does it really affect that season it’s for the next season so if you make a trade then right depending on who you have to trade and what moves you have to make you’re giving up more resources and you’re basically sacrificing the end of this year for following year possibly possibly but I me I guess say are you ready for that it depends on the player it depends on the player like you got okay like give me a situation where it’s worked out right away um H middle of the Year trades working out right away it’s happened but it’s been a while uh Cavaliers Cavaliers final year LeBron there they made a big trade they basically traded their entire roster and they went to finals they were Prett middle what that Darren Williams getting um um who do they go for that was when they got J they got Jay Crowder in the midd they ched him out then they uh wait we we talking about they they got Devin they got Darren Williams and then they got um Larry n Junior it was it wasn’t like a no it wasn’t like a star I’m talking about somebody that could a star that’s going to play on S side of Jimmy and Bam we not talking about some role players I’m talking about there’s been trades of role players where you you can get depth at that time of year but you still have your same course about a star player that you want like if if the heat were to get Trey young in December or January right that ain’t gonna work out right away maybe not it never does you can’t say never it never does name one go ahead I’ll wait give me a second I me let me think about it a little bit okay you know okay goodness gracious I think I Vlad I think Vlad let me ask you this Vlad did you did the OG and anobi trade in the middle of the year did that seem like it worked especially when he played oh he got you there that’s a good one that’s a good um that’s a good one yeah but okay no no no only they got a 8 800% 800% willing one one case oh I’m sorry didn’t you just say give me one I didn’t just said give me one that that’s it I actually give if you would have told me hey if you would have said give me three no I’m just saying it very rarely happen is that now was that a successful season for you ask him it could have been better without the injuries what was the successful trade ABS freak lutely didn’t they finish the two seed they finished the two seed 1 50 games and four games out of the ninth seed so okay yeah but we were also a team that didn’t have to play in the play’s not now he’s you know what it is okay fine I’ll give you that but but I’m saying so you consider that success so I’m saying here if the heat get past the second round and they make a trade like that that’s going to be a success you’re going to be satisfied with what are we in the Canadian Football League you’re moving the goalposts no I’m not I’m just asking you if you have the same success that he had last year no I’m not a Knicks fan second round is good enough for me but that’s not what but like all of a sudden you’re so so you need a trade that’s gonna even be substantially better you’re moving the goalpost on your I’m not you are how because you’re like oh give me give me a move where it worked out I give give first argument was with the Kyrie and Luca and you said it didn’t work it didn’t work right away right his counter was the Knicks made a trade for OG that worked immediately injury is the only thing that happened to him where you don’t know how far the progression of that team would have been but when he was on the court they only lost three regular season games correct and six games Al together out of like 35 okay so there’s there is data that you can say last I’ll take I’ll give you another one in the same conference that worked out was was your boy Pascal sakam another one Allstar Indiana and now they went to the Eastern Conference Final they went to the Eastern Conference Final okay he he got you there okay okay call that a Beat Box in all right you got you box then you it’s not really not really boxed in a couple of examples that you know it works it usually trades sure trades are not normally that big not in the middle of the Season stars or Superstars but lowed that to happen exactly the reason why you can say yes because without those trades you’re not looking at these teams the way they are you looking at them right now well and then keep in mind and keep in mind one of the reasons why the trade worked out so well is because you had six teams all within two games so when you make that charge and you win five out of six or seven out of eight it moves you up to the second seed dude and that’s kind of what happened with the with the Knicks all right but the reality is I mean like this is where you kind of go back to the Heats the Heats Health thing like there’s not a big difference between those two through seven teams there’s really not right which which which brings me to the the original point that Pat was making like okay we need everybody to play yes because we’re not that far away from the second seed D St says Vladimir tereno boxon we talking NBA not hockey come on man stop stop take a break back after this
