00:00Jimmy Butler was in Dubai. Yeah
00:03Doing a tour or something like that for big-face coffee. Of course. He is of course side quest side quest Jimmy and
00:10He did a he did a stop by on a radio show there and we got a couple cuts here for yous
00:18Okay, first we have Jimmy Butler
00:21Talking about being with the Warriors. Would you move so much?
00:30Here is Jimmy Butler on now being a Golden State Warrior and how happy he is
00:35How's it feel to be on the west coast?
00:38In the States now obviously with the move. So what how's that feeling? It feels good
00:42I think uh, my pocket is gonna feel it from the taxes, but you know, the taxes were great and in Miami
00:49But I'm so happy over there organizations top-notch. Obviously, you know, I get to play with Steph. So I'm a fan of him just like
00:56Ninety nine point nine percent of the the world and you know a chance of winning the championship
01:01What more can you ask for and dream lines on the team?
01:05Get along quite well, yeah a lot of dominoes
01:09Fun as well. Oh, he's the best and you don't realize how great he is and to
01:14Actually get on his team and how smart and how he'll do anything to win and I respect that the most out of anything
01:21It's all about winning all the time with that, dude
01:23And uh, I'm learning
01:26All right, he's learning
01:29Good for him. I wonder how long it took him to
01:32To learn that eight points in a quarter ain't gonna win a game
01:37We school
01:40Did you learn that did are they gonna teach him about I bet you they don't know about third quarter there
01:47that courtesy of the Chris feed show
01:50Yes, which is Virgin Radio in Dubai
01:55He also then was asked by one of the co-hosts
01:59About the idea of facing the Miami Heat which is gonna happen in a little over a month a little over a month
02:06Here is what Jimmy had to say on that upcoming showdown
02:09I wanted to ask a question that I've always been curious about. I'm a basketball fan growing up watching but one thing always
02:16Left me curious was when you get traded you've been bonded with a team, right and then you go to another team
02:22Then you got to face your old
02:25teammates
02:26What is that feeling like?
02:28I think it's a it's a great feeling because you know, everybody just like I know their game
02:33They know my name at the at the same rate
02:37But it's it's all love. I've been in the trenches with Miami for the past six seasons
02:43And like I tell everybody the way that they want to beat me and make sure that they beat the Golden State Warriors
02:48I promise you it's just as personal for me as well. But uh, love those guys over there great organization
02:55It didn't in the way that everybody hoped that it would in but uh, that's just part of the business of basketball
03:01I don't have anything bad to say about that organization
03:04Minus one for deception. Wow. There we go. Let him have it. Minus one. We've been had
03:10Hoodwinked. Run amok. We didn't follow on Plymouth Rock. Plymouth Rock fell on us. That's right
03:19He was trying to be cordial, you know, I mean
03:23Oh, really really trying to be cordial
03:26That's right
03:28That's right. That's right
03:30Oh, really
03:35You gotta learn to like let go of these bad
03:41He's a saboteur
03:44saboteur Oh Jimmy
03:47tour
03:49Dude, okay. Nothing but love he probably wait
03:54How can you have love for a team you take a one-footed three?
03:57Nothing says I don't care. Well, there's no love like a one-footed three
04:05Jimmy Butler
04:07reveals
04:09Pat Riley's behavior was
04:11unhinged
04:13Well, it wasn't from him directly. I mean it went to use a report the kid. It's not yet a press conference
04:22Here I'll go
04:24I'll go
04:28And you know who started the fireworks Oh
04:32Mr. Fourth of July right there. Oh, no, dude. That's not fair. Oh
04:47Jimmy said if he was playing boss, I wouldn't have done nothing. Whatever you say Jimmy
04:54It's like punting that's you that was you
05:01You make me sound sniveling I wasn't sniveling
05:05Wait you hold on the only way you can go to
05:09another guy
05:10Talking about with somebody else said as far as he's concerned is sniveling when you went to pet Jimmy said
05:19Sniveling then when you go back to Jimmy is it Pat said that's sniveling
05:33Right, so you were doing all of the things to fuel this fire
05:40Jaysus may not have caused it
05:43But you made everybody aware of each other's conversations thus
05:49Lighting it Jay says I'm so disappointed in our Pope Petty letting this guy slide
05:55Yes, you are like I can't even look at you right now
06:00Face about to face gone after everybody
06:13He sabotaged your favorite team more than any other person
06:18But they should have known that they were in bed with a rattlesnake like it's it's it's almost like I'm you're getting
06:26Hurricane they helped the scorpion across the creek dude
06:29You were sitting here and you live on the coast and you're like, I don't think I'm gonna buy hurricane insurance this year
06:33It's like yeah, you know like look I I should be more mad at him. I understand that
06:41You've gotten more upset over people that have done a
06:46teensy-weensy bit of what Jimmy did
06:51No, yes you have like who yes you have me you fired me twice yesterday
07:00So wait, so wait
07:04How long did you carry the
07:07LeBron petty
07:11Probably till D Wade came back and and guess what?
07:15And LeBron didn't demand a trade he was just a free agent
07:19Well, I think that's what goes into it right like the behavior objectively if I was to look at this from 10,000 feet
07:25Okay, which you're not which you're not I think I am. No, you're not
07:30Objectively Jimmy's behavior much worse than LeBron's much worse. Then. Why do you hate LeBron so much?
07:36I think it was the surprise like it's always the way you leave not surprised by Jimmy's actions
07:42Do when he said I'm just go out new. I wasn't that surprised though. I wasn't that surprised
07:47Like what did you go? Did you go?
07:50That's exactly how I felt
07:54Court with that with the BG's I saw the guy's ankle snap
07:59But that was after the fact no, I'm saying we didn't know this was after
08:06This this was when he said he wasn't happy after that stuff
08:09I'm saying before when the season started when they were asking them about I know that but like and I thought there was a part
08:16Of me that definitely thought because I'm telling you like the vibes around the team were good
08:20I think that's why Tyler's been a little bit heard about it because remember him and Tyler like who's what who's what a you you you
08:27They were like loving each other and then all of a sudden Jimmy's like nah, that's up a ship
08:32So I should be more mad at him, I don't know why I'm not I think it's because you're a phony
08:41These actions deserve repercussions, what do you want me to do? I don't know but I don't want to say
08:56What you're doing this is what you know it I
08:59Can't quit you Jimmy
09:02He's just that's what you're doing
09:06Rascal you know, he's just having a good time. He said I got me in the taxes Riles
09:14I'm gonna listen. I hope that he beat him by 40. I do I wanted to get drop-kicked when they come here
09:22Maybe we'll be the new Minnesota. He didn't be Minnesota for a while. He didn't beat Minnesota for a while. That is true
09:27I
09:40Said
09:41Hold on. I said from the jump that I would have paid them. They didn't okay when he pulled his antics
09:49I said from jump you can't bring him back. Okay, then they brought him back, which was ridiculous and then
09:54Whoa, great Jimmy tanked again, and then
09:58Finally, they came to their senses like oh, we can't bring him back. I
10:02Didn't like what he did to his teammates. I thought it was rotten you do that to BAM
10:06All those years you go to the finals with BAM on a bio right by your side
10:15Okay, best two-way player in the league out there best defender in the league like he wasn't there yes saddled us with Kyle Lowry I
10:22Mean took Goran's number from him with this fat point guard who won't score
10:29Won't take any shots
10:34And then he had a little
10:39And so we had no train is sour puss-ass for a guy whose neck lasted like three weeks
10:47All of these moves a catalyst because you wanted Kyle Lowry here Jimmy all of them
10:55And you still let him off the hook but 56 points do it I mean you still let him off the hood
11:01Hey, let me tell you something
11:04There's a there's a lesson to be learned in sports
11:08Yesterday's Jimmy ain't today's Jimmy
11:12You better hope you tend you tend to look at a guy that's had
11:18Moments of greatness and I'm not disputing that one bit
11:23And you take that as the norm forever
11:26Sometimes I think you treat Jimmy Butler like Jay Crowder. No, I don't know. I don't kind of feel like you know
11:33No, I don't
11:36Here's what I did I
11:39Tried to understand the situation
11:43For what it was
11:44That's with no bias towards Jimmy. No bias towards the heat and I understand Jimmy wanted his money
11:52But I understand why Pat wouldn't give it to him because we can't have you playing the amount of games
11:58You want to play to keep ending up in the play in?
12:02You can't do it
12:04so when the season started and
12:07Jimmy start talking about it. Well, I guess I'm gonna play all the games. It is what it is, right? Mm-hmm
12:14And Pat was like cool, but then he didn't
12:19So in this whole situation
12:22Pat should be furious
12:25Because not only did he lie, but he went out of his way to sabotage the whole situation
12:30Here's the thing. I would say that is is it's not the heats fault because obviously Jimmy was the unprofessional one here
12:36Okay
12:37But what I what I always say with an organization is it's your job
12:42To know whether or not you really have a handle on something
12:46Right, and I keep saying that the heat should have traded him in the summer mate
12:51Yeah
12:51They had an arrogance about themselves with all of this thinking like they do it's not gonna do it to us and they keep
12:59getting their asses
13:01Beat because they're arrogant and they think we're the heat. We're a first-class organization. I understand it's earned
13:08Championships finals trips all that stuff developed
13:11two-way guys
13:13Into near conference champions. I'm not saying that they haven't earned some arrogance
13:18But you have to understand where that arrogance is blinding you sometimes and you guys thought that because Jimmy was older
13:25You guys had passed with Jimmy you had good trips with Jimmy. You thought Jimmy wasn't gonna be Jimmy
13:31wrong wrong
13:34Wrong. Here's what the heat did in the last six years
13:39They helped Jimmy across the river
13:42and
13:43Then when he got on the other side
13:46They were the frog. Yep, and he was the scorpion. All right, and we know about frogs
13:53They're losers. No, okay
13:57But but again
13:59Even see in all of this. I think the only person
14:07Who was unprofessional was Jimmy you can say whatever you want about the heat and what they should have done
14:14Okay
14:15But they don't owe anybody a contract past the current one, but he said he has love
14:22He's saying you know why he's saying that now that he's getting his money
14:28Like money make you feel better
14:31It don't fix all your issues
14:33But I tell you what to make you feel all warm and fuzzy and when you don't have to worry about stuff
14:38It would do a lot better for me
14:39If like he threw up a clunker like if the Warriors could just you know get their asses. Here's the other thing
14:46Here's the other thing you have to understand
14:49Jimmy is probably in a more comfortable role than he's been in in a lot of his career
14:58being that
15:00Everybody knows Steph is the guy and he's playing off of step
15:04He's getting the mismatches because they're concentrating on step
15:08So he has more room to operate than when he was the number one on any other team. That's fine
15:14But that's not a that's that's that's on the heat. That's not on Jimmy who they put around him. Yeah, I mean
15:22Sure
15:23Sure break
15:26Got another big one coming up tomorrow get into that coming up next
15:30Previously on Tobin and Leroy they are who we thought they were and we let them off the hook
