00:00Jimmy Butler is back in my Emma Andrew Wiggins revenge game. Am I right?
00:07Who scores more tonight, Wiggins or Butler?
00:10Probably Wiggins. Probably Wiggins. Jimmy's gonna all around the world the same song. Jimmy's gonna try to triple-double.
00:17Yeah, he's gonna try to triple-double.
00:21Wiggins been on a heater. He's 30 plus two games in a row. Right, which means he's due for a classic 4 of 11.
00:28Do you know and in fact, I think
00:31Let me check underdog. Yeah, because Wiggins I did I went lower cuz you're right
00:37I gotta be like 18 and a half. Well
00:41Wiggins is it 28 and a half PRA
00:45Points rebounds assists 28 and a half. Well, he doesn't do a lot of a he doesn't do a lot of a doesn't
00:51Yeah, they beg him to do are he can he can but he'd rather not don't
00:55Yeah, and then when I see a number like that, I'm like, oh
00:59Underdog knows because the average fans like wait a minute. He scored 42 and the night before that 30
01:05He's gonna score more than 20 and a half points
01:08I don't even need to worry about the R's and the A's
01:10Like why is that number so low?
01:12Because you've watched Andrew play and the Warriors are gonna lock him up and he's gonna score about 14 points tonight
01:18It'll be a classic 14 four and four that that phrase that you just uttered is one of the funniest ones
01:24I've ever heard Andrew Wiggins revenge game
01:26Is there any athlete in history that less fits the idea of a revenge game than Andrew Wiggins?
01:34Honestly, I don't even like we're not gonna go too deep into Wiggins today
01:39But does anybody have any opinions at all about Andrew Wiggins ever you ever seen someone?
01:45Spend six years somewhere win a championship and then leave and literally no one knows what to say
01:54There's like bye
01:58Thanks, could there be a less vengeful athlete exactly in sports, I mean no disrespect
02:04No disrespect, but he's I don't think that he's right now stewing in Miami thinking. Oh, I'm a pay these guys back
02:10I'm a show all of them my teammates who I want a title with
02:15I'm a stick it to Steve Kerr who stood by me for five years
02:18No, like his entire vibe tonight is the words will walk in the arena and he'll be like hey
02:24That's it when Steve said there's gonna be hugs aplenty and like all of it. Yeah. Hey wiggy
02:30I know I mean
02:32Andrew Wiggins revenge game in and of itself is
02:36hysterical
02:37But let's get to buckets. Okay. Let's get to Jimmy Butler. We've been waiting for this one and
02:43It's kind of a silly conversation the whole like well Jimmy says it's no Jimmy says it's just any other game
02:49Of course, it's not any other game
02:51But who does that who who sits in front of the media and goes? Yeah, I want those dogs
02:56I'm about to show Tyler hero thing or two Tyler hero as a dog. Are you kidding me? I'm gonna lock him up
03:02He's not even gonna score two points. Watch this mofos who would do no one does a press conference like that
03:09I promise you that
03:12That's what Jimmy's thinking. I promise you it's why Steph Curry flew halfway across the country in order to be there today
03:19I don't I can't promise you that Steph Curry's gonna play but I'm pretty sure Steph Curry's gonna play
03:24Like this is a monster monster thing and I just want to come at it from this angle
03:30You know
03:30I've sat and I've listened because we don't know Jimmy Butler as well as the next city a lot of cities have a lot to
03:38Say about Jimmy Butler and of all the sports villains out there those who implode
03:45Everywhere they go those who cause problems those who never have teammates who get along with them those who have a short
03:53Sustainability life all of these things in sports. I've listened to what everyone has to say about Jimmy Butler and you know what I've come up with
04:01nothing
04:03nothing
04:04I'm not I'm not here to say that I was there or that he's perfect
04:07I just can't I can't find this awful thing that he's done and so
04:14My my stress level as far as Jimmy now and Jimmy into the future is that it is at a zero
04:21That a complete zero
04:23My stress level is probably the same and I just laid it out during the crossover where the three things that I think that Jimmy
04:30Would be most concerned about and just based on the Anthony Slater report
04:34Which was so good in the athletic and don't miss slates tomorrow with the two Joes on the morning roasts
04:40Tomorrow he'll do his normal Friday appearance and you know Jimmy from what I'm gleaning
04:45He wants to win more than anything else and this team has won
04:50And he feels like they have a good chance to win Jimmy wants to be able to be
04:54Himself and do what he needs to do to get ready to compete and the Warriors have clearly said yeah Jimmy
05:01Do your thing and he left Brooklyn and went right to Miami because he hadn't seen his blanking kids
05:06In since the trade and so he wanted to get his kids and bring them
05:09Collect them and bring them out and try to handle
05:12Family business and the Warriors are like great and the other thing that Jimmy clearly wants and he hasn't spoken to it many athletes
05:18Don't he wanted that money?
05:19He wanted that extension and Mike Dunleavy his former teammate went to ownership here and said yeah
05:26We need to give him his money. He's paid. He has freedom. He has a competitive environment
05:32I don't know what else Jimmy would or will want so I'm with you mark right and and then let's take that a step further
05:37Everyone goes. Oh, he wanted to get paid and I think for a while
05:41There was like this negative vibe behind that like like it was selfish. Oh Jimmy wanted
05:46Uh, he wanted a big old contract anybody want to make the argument that he doesn't deserve it now that you've watched him play
05:54Would anybody like to stand up and be like Warriors totally overpaid?
05:58if I'm Jimmy Butler
06:01Um, yes, that's exactly what you do
06:04It's exactly what you do. I
06:07Love it when people look at a sports relationship and they go
06:13Dude, you have got to honor the contract you signed
06:18But you never say that to an owner
06:21ever
06:22Ever did anyone yell at the Niners for not honoring Debo Samuel's contract?
06:28Did anyone does anyone have anything to say about Leonard Floyd getting caught
06:35Nobody has anything to say about that
06:38They only get mad when the player who has a year to go and has tons of leverage
06:43They only get mad when the player Christian McCaffrey Trent Williams comes out and says no
06:49You need to put a backbone in the contract that I have because I'm an athlete and I'm gonna put my body on the line
06:56and I'm elite and
06:57So you need to pay for that because that's what I'm worth and that's what others out there are willing to pay me
07:03So you need to do that and then when Pat Rowley's like no, then we get mad at Jimmy for bucking
07:08Oh, cuz you won't honor the car. He blew up the locker room said Ira Wenderman. No, he didn't no
07:15He didn't they went eight nine in the games until he got traded the games that he missed after he blew up the locker room
07:22They played better ball than they have since he left
07:24They went eight nine without Jimmy in the first 17, then he got traded and since then they have lost
07:31Yeah, so you could say that he blew it up to where it was no longer recognizable
07:36I think he was referring to earlier in the year
07:38He's like he's sort of stated that he ruined the season with the way he handled the beginning
07:43And I guess my question is just how come we never how come we never talk to the owners about this?
07:49There's a disagreement and it's only on the player to quote honor the contract
07:54But we never asked the owner to do the same. That's all and so like well
08:01Will y'all be mad at Fred Warner in six weeks if he doesn't show up to OTAs because it's like a Niners
08:07But put a backbone in that contract and if the Niners don't do it
08:11Are we gonna scream that Fred Warner is not honoring the contract?
08:15I and by the way, I guess we will that's what I heard people do to Trent Williams last year
08:21Like I I don't know man
08:23It's just a head-scratcher to me that that's always the players fault little different in football than basketball
08:28But football is not guaranteed and in basketball, you know
08:31Jimmy Butler has a unique opportunity to
08:35Create his own future more than Trent Williams does Trent's a little bit different because he's a veteran and he's a guy who?
08:42Absolutely is a needed commodity where you're not just gonna cut Trent Williams in that spot
08:48but you know a player like
08:51Brandon Iuke is a good example where he holds out for every last dollar. He plays not
08:56Well, he gets hurt and now they're talking about trading him before April 1st
09:00Because they want to maybe get out from underneath his money sounds like probably not by the way
09:04But anyway, we're seeing you had a report on it today
09:07She said doesn't sound like reality, but could be wrong
09:10You just never know depends on how much Jed York wants to get out from underneath the 110 million dollars that they still owe him
09:16But the idea about a Jimmy Butler
09:18Revenge game. I've looked into the numbers and I'll share some of those
09:23results with you on the other side because this would now be his I think his fourth game in a
09:29Revenge spot because he was in Chicago and then he went to
09:34Minnesota he was in Minnesota. He went to Philly. He was in Philly. He went to Miami. He was in Miami
09:40He went to Golden State and now he's going back to Miami. So this will be the fourth time. He has a
09:46Revenge game. Well, you get to a certain point in the league where half your games are revenge games
09:54You're talking about the first time on the road the first time on the road and we're not talking about ish Smith who's played for
09:5913 have you looked at how he's performed in those games in the past? Yeah, exactly you have. Oh, yeah
10:05Okay, I'm right here right in front of me. You don't have to give the numbers yet, but good or bad
10:09Oh one good and two bad. Oh, yeah. Oh, see I'm expecting really good things from him tonight
10:15I'm expecting a very
10:18very
10:19focused and
10:22Heady
10:23Jimmy Butler tonight. I'm not expecting 30 points. Okay, I'm expecting
10:29Jimmy and all of his great decisions and
10:33Unlocking of teammates to be on full display all night long. That's kind of what I'm expecting in this one
10:39Okay, I mean it's fair to expect that and the history of Jimmy Butler would indicate that it hasn't always gone that way. I
10:48Took his his underdog over for PRA is 34 and a half. I went higher
10:54Okay, thirty four and a half points rebounds assists add them all together
10:59You like it depends on if Steph plays if Steph doesn't play I like it less because the P
11:05Without Steph is he's gonna be 20 plus if Steph doesn't play and that's what does play. That's good, right?
11:12You're saying you like it less if he does or doesn't I like it less if Steph plays?
11:16Oh because the points go way down to me. Yeah, I think yeah, but I mean this though
11:22Should go up and the rebounds are rebounds are kind of fleeting like
11:27Pods get seven or eight rebounds a game just cuz he's in there and he wants it coming
11:31Uh jumps out of the gym and he gets four rebounds a game. Granny. What's your best guess on when we're gonna hear about stuff?
11:36I know that the NBA puts another report out here in three minutes, but but it's probably not gonna be that
11:42I mean this feels like one where he tests it out pregame and they see how he feels. Okay. No
11:47Okay. All right. So anyway, we say that because I would bet that that breaking news is
11:55Probably gonna happen here within the hour or less
