Speaker 4 (00:39):
Rob g Hey, Alex and I. We're not making a statement.

Because Alex is making it stay but you, guys is
fine if you guys don't keep trying to tell you
to take this extra off your don't don't.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Care about the best part is the irony of when
he does it, you know what I mean?

Speaker 6 (01:03):
I though the best part of it two things that
Kelvin will abandon us for family and stairs.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
It's okay, that's right, No, not the stairs and the
family for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Stairs and you know I've been taking a lot of
elevators in my life right now.

Speaker 4 (01:17):
But it is funny t I say I do like.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
That's the that's the second time the day I haven't done.
I don't like I'd be Rob Parker, I know every time.

(01:47):

Speaker 4 (01:47):
All that shot. The way you guys been bonding, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
I mean, Alex and I wear around each other a lot.
You know, it's all good. Hey, Rob g we had
some movement in the NBA and this is our next
All here we want to get to and uh, normally
an executive like Pat Riley, team president of the Heat,
he's not going to comment on a story that Chams

(02:14):
broke for ESPN that Jimmy Butler prefers to move on
and he wants to go the other way, go somewhere
else and normally just ignore it, right, I don't care
what Champs reporting, just ignored or whatever. But instead Rob G.
Pat Riley put out a.

Speaker 5 (02:29):
Statement, Yeah, Rob, And for you to say we had movement,
that would be the wrong word to use to describe
what's going on. Okay, we got no movement.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
That's the problem.

Speaker 5 (02:37):
There's no movement.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
Now you mentioned it.

Speaker 5 (02:38):
Sham Sarani reported actually a couple of weeks ago, so
much so that Jimmy Butler's agent tried to get back
in him on Twitter saying.

Speaker 4 (02:44):
Right, do you remember that were wrong? Right? But when
he reported, pat Riley said he was a liar? Right
you remember?

Speaker 2 (02:49):
To us?

Speaker 5 (02:50):
And what was reported by Shamsaryan ESPN was that Jimmy
Butler because he hasn't got his extension from Miami. He's
not going to get his extension. He's opening trade desk
and he's included the sons of the Warriors, the MAVs,
and the Rockets on his list of teams you prefer
to be traded to. Well, today you mentioned it. Pat Riley,
the Godfather put out a statement himself addressing this has.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
Got to be eighty years old. I mean, how is he?

Speaker 5 (03:15):
I'll look it up for you, but it reads as
follows quote. We usually don't comment on rumors, but all
this speculation have become a distraction of the team and
it's not fair to the players and the coaches. Therefore,
we will make it clear we are not trading Jimmy
Butler period.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
Okay, and Kelvin, you know what I got for you
and for Rob G and for pat Riley.

Speaker 5 (03:41):
We'll be getting them all right.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
He's standing up, he's gotten applause, giving him a handclap.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
Thank you, pat Riley, Thank you very much. Thank you
for clearing the air and letting people know that you
run the organization, not the players, and these guys kill me.
Jimmy Butler, you signed the contract, live up to it.
When it's over, and you're free agent, go wherever the

(04:11):
hell you want to go.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
You'll be a free agent.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
This guy wants to force their hand right so that
he could go where he wants to go and sign
a new contract, whereas God forbid, you have to be
a free agent. And guess the only team that got
cap room. All the bad teams you want to go to,
the Pistons. They got money. You know they've been much better,
but you know what, they got a lot of money.

Speaker 4 (04:37):
Rob G.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
The other teams. There are a lot of teams that
are bad. They got cap space, so you don't want
to do that. But now you're gonna, you know, mess
up what's going on in Miami. Make people feel like
you gotta get your way. Didn't you sign up for this?
And they're like, oh, Miami's gonna do right by Jimmy Butler.

(05:00):
Do right What championship in parade did they have in
Miami with Jimmy Butler.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
They don't owe him anything. They have paid this man paid.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
The man is money, no, Jimmy, this is my So
I think what I like about some of the ways
this can happen. I like when you have a player
who has given is all to a team, more organization,
and then if that player and that team to me
come together and they both privately go, look, we're trying

(05:31):
to move forward. This ain't working. You're trying to move on.
You know, you're maybe you're older, maybe just not working.
And if they amicably say, you know what, it is,
time to move on. I have no problem with that.
I have no problem with because that happens in business
all the time. If someone says this just ain't working,
you agree. I agree, we all gave it our best.
Let's move on. Everybody hands in on three one two three,
move on. But when guys just try to manipulate the system,

(05:54):
when guys just try to, you know, manipulate the fan
base against the ownership, against this player or that and
the other, or cry and complain when it's everything they
ask for. You know, if it's we all want to
go to Brooklyn and play together, Harden and Kadi and Kyrie,
then it doesn't work out, and get me out of here.
I don't want to we'll be here anymore. See, I
had to issue with that. I have no issue with Again.

(06:16):
If let's say Jimmy did come to pat Riley, hey man,
been here five.

Speaker 4 (06:19):
Six year, his extension, he wants his honest more.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
I'm using example of like you know, when somebody has
run their the course and they say, look man, I'll
give him all, and you see, we're not going anywhere.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
That's just business.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
But when you have these players getting everything they want,
how they want, when they want it, and then being
mad a year later, six months later, a year and
a half later, hold on, man, you made this bed.
I'm gonna get you made this cal king. I'm gonna
needase you to lay up in it for a little
bit you made this bed, Come on here and enjoy
these comforters in these blankets. And that happens a lot
nowadays with the modern NBA player, where they just always

(06:53):
I want to go here, I want to go there,
I want to play with him, and they demand it
and it to me. It's like, dude, you I have
no problem with if you movement when it when it
was warranted. But the idea that I'm doing everything and
every moving, any and everything for you and I'm not
getting anything out of this when I win championship.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
We don't have this equity. Equity with the town. You
know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
If Kobe Bryant, you know, and rumors are he wanted
to get traded, almost went to the Pistons, but you
know his wife didn't want to go. Let's say he did.
He would have earned that all those years. Fans will
be mad, I understand, but he would have earned him. Man,
I give it him my all. I'm ready to move
on to me. You don't have equity. A lot of
guys who do this. You don't have the tenure a
lot of guys who do this. And in the opposite,

(07:35):
I've given you my everything, everything you wanted the money
the other players, and now it's like, give me out
of here, man, this ain't working.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
I'm not a fan of that and that, and that's.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Why I give Pat Roley credit pack because because you
remember Lebron warning fired right, he wanted them out there.
Pat Roley didn't buy into that. And look how many
years led Eric Sposter still let arguably some people for
the best and they went there and they went to
the finals twice. They evn won, but they went to
the finals. Nobody had on air exposer. He's one of

(08:06):
the best. And so that's why at some point, you know,
if you're in management or ownership, you got to stand
up to these guys and tell them no, when you
wanted a deal, I gave you the money you wanted.
We went out, we made some other trades and moved
some people around. And as soon as you're ready, because
you're not getting the extension that you want when you wanted.

(08:27):
Now you're throwing in and being a distraction for the
whole organization and for everybody else and making our fan
base be mad at what's happening.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Now.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
That's not fair.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
And let me be clear, I have no problem with
players putting pressure on organizations if they're not you know,
if let's say another year or two, Kansas City's being
cheap and they don't want to do certain things. And
if Patrick Mahomes who was blood sweat and teared and
and ring them and was like, hey man, you know
I'm waiting on this organization.

Speaker 4 (08:56):
You know that's what I'm saying. So I don't. I don't.
That's what I say. I want to be clear. I
have no problem.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
If there's certain guys who put in the sweat equity,
have the ten year and have run a town, you know,
and have been good to an organization, I have no
problem they start demanding things and putting pressure on them.
You know, you could argue that's what Giannis is starting
to do a little bit, put more pressure on the Bucks.
And it's not good enough just to say what we
won one and take that and you know, I want
to keep.

Speaker 4 (09:20):
Compete to Milwaukee. That's good.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Well, what he's saying, what he's saying, I don't want
it to be that for the next seven eight years
of my career. But I look that. No, that's the
quiet truth. That's the ain't nobody looking We're gonna say that,
but they want a championship and more. Ask the nick
fans if they take a championship, I could go to.
There's about twenty cities. I'll ask you, would they take
a championship?

Speaker 4 (09:41):
They would?

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Oh no, without a doubt. Shoot Orlando Magic. As we're watching,
you know you got the heat more Magic game going
on right now. So yeah, I'm I'm a fan of
when you put your all in. Like I said, say,
in three years, Jason Tatums, just like I want to
move on from Boston. Dude, he's put a sweat in
tears that I have no problem.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
I was like, but what I love and I know
Pat Rowley's old school and people hate the idea as
a seventy nine eighty year old guy. Oh, he's just
old school and he doesn't want to acquiesce. But you
gotta run the organization. That's why I gave him a
standing ovation. Sometimes you gotta make those tough decisions. When
Lebron was doing his thing, dude, thank you, Okay, go ahead,

(10:21):
move on.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
He is he good.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Said he should have handled it differently, but that's how
he was feeling at the time, right, But you know
what I'm saying. He was saying no, listen. That's how
you get an identity. That's how the Miami he have
a culture and identity and they talk about it. Shaquille
O'Neil talks about it, Dwayne Wade talks about it. They
have an identity in a way about things. That's why
they are always hard. Any pat Riley team has been

(10:42):
hard nosed. You go with the Heat when he was
coaching him. You go with the New York Knicks, hard nos,
take no prisoner, you know, kind of the grit and
grind if you will, not to take Memphis Grizzlies. But
you get what I mean. That's the culture. Eric Sposter
was a video man, worked his way up. That's how
they are they Mickey Harrison, the owner on down the
pat On down there, e Sposter and so on and

(11:04):
so forth. You have Alonzo Mourning still there. They've kind
of created that Heat culture and he's just not a
big fan of somebody coming in here trying to shake
that up and change that and tell them what to do.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
Right and that on a whim, like like they've done
a lot for Jimmy Butler, but they don't owe him
anything else when if he wants to bounce after his
deal bounds, but bounce.

Speaker 4 (11:27):
Nobody's saying you can't go that.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
That's you're right as a free agent, but you're not
gonna hold the gun to the organization's head and blow
up their their team and their plans for this year
because you're.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
Ready to go.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Yeah, and I don't again that whole you know, with
Sean's saying he has it on good record, obviously they're
saying he's lying. Jimmy Butler kind of being coy about it.
I'm gonna just let all y'all talk. I'm gonna just
let the rumors out. I Roley said enough though, yeah,
he said enough. He let it go from whether it
be agents, whether it be Jimmy, whether it be Sham's.

Speaker 4 (11:56):
I need y'all all to shut up.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
And Jimmy, you ain't going nowhere be a hard and
so to the team for the last five years or so.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
This is us. This is what we're doing.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
And I give him credit because that's not normally what
you want to do is go public. But he's just like, dude,
we're going to put a rest to this with all
these rumors and windows, all these I think.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
What he's doing too is looking at Tyler Hero down
the pipeline, you give what I mean, He's looking at
Haimi Hakas like whoever may be bam out of Bayu,
like whoever might be next. I think that's what Pat
was doing, more so even than the Jimmy was saying,
let me make it clear that I do we do
what we want to do, not just based off an
agent putting words out or a reporter putting stuff out there.

(12:37):
So I think he was also making a claim to
the rest of the team or a future free agent, like,
don't think you're gonna come here running this thing. We
have a way about us, in the way we've been
handling business.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
Right, and most owners cave and most of these guys,
they just they give it.

Speaker 4 (12:53):
You know.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
I gave the Nets a lot of credit when they
didn't trade Kevin Durant the first.

Speaker 4 (12:57):
You remember when you no, we don't there's not a
deal good enough for us. Why are we going to
do this?

Speaker 7 (13:02):
No?

Speaker 4 (13:02):
I wanted to be here, right, you wanted to You
took up money.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
We signed James when he was hurt, and he got
paid for a year without playing.

Speaker 4 (13:10):
You remember that he was coming off from the Warriors.

Speaker 5 (13:13):
Yeah, so all right, eight.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
Seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven nine
nine six sixty three sixty nine.

Speaker 8 (13:29):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (13:29):
And what should the heat do? Of course my phone
just went down? Uh?

Speaker 1 (13:35):
And what do you appreciate the heat standing on businesses?

Speaker 4 (13:39):
More teams?

Speaker 9 (13:40):
Do?

Speaker 4 (13:40):
More teams do that? And do they owe the heat?
Owe Jimmy Butler or anything.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
That's owe him whatever he signed on a check cash

it back in.

Tire rack dot com. The way toy brodns should be
talking about Jimmy Butler. Do you like the way pat Riley,
president of Basketball there in Miami handled the situation saying,

(17:40):
Jimmy ain't going nowhere eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
All right, let's go Raphael and Cincinnati. You're on the
odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. Merry Christmas, brother.

Speaker 8 (17:49):
Brother, Hey, Hey, check it out. Pat Riley, you know,
when he was in Lakerville, he couldn't let really lose
because I don't think Riley's ever been in Hollywood type
of guy. But man, when he got to the Miami Heat,
he started showing his old school tendencies. And I've never
had a problem with pat I don't have a problem

(18:09):
with what he put out to the public about Jimmy
Butler because the men in my family, my father and
grandfather on both sides, they were just like pat Riley
because there was not a whole lot of great area
it's any at all. But man, I mean, cut straight
to the chase.

Speaker 7 (18:25):
This is how it is.

Speaker 8 (18:26):
And it wasn't always gonna be their way. It was
gonna be the right way. Pat Riley and Miami. I
just had to admire that guy for so many years
and the way he runs that tight ship there and
Jimmy Butler, he might as well just man up because
Riley was right. We're not gonna have all these distractions.

Speaker 7 (18:43):
Oh, Jimmy, Mike didn't create it.

Speaker 8 (18:45):
Everybody's gonna get traded and who wots Jimmy Butler pat
right said, look, we nipping this s in the bud
right now.

Speaker 7 (18:51):
He ain't going no durn.

Speaker 3 (18:53):
Exactly will become a free agent and then go bounce
and then.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
You know these private to me have it privately. But
you know, maybe Jimmy didn't see it that way. Clearly
his agent who act like this ain't the case. But
all right, we got.

Speaker 4 (19:06):
Leo in New York City, a couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Merry Christmas, Leo.

Speaker 7 (19:12):
Merry Christmas. He's from brother.

Speaker 4 (19:17):
So I'm gonna say it for him.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
Salama Lake Malake, selcam Milacium Salam.

Speaker 4 (19:20):
Well, welacome Salam. I'm not Ephraim, but can you expect
though he expected Ephraim to beware. I mean, I tell
you I take a day year off.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
No, you don't know how to act Leo one day Leo, Well,
welcome Salon to you too.

Speaker 7 (19:34):
I mean, Rob, this guy thinks more ideas of this Christmas.

Speaker 4 (19:42):
You you know what, it's Christmas. I'm gonna let it ride.
Oh there you go. I'm let it ride.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
I'm over here, and I'm over here saying well welacum
salam to you too. You know what, I take it
back now peace, I'm taking my piece back, Leo.

Speaker 4 (19:52):
You know I was on Christmas even Christmas. There we go?

Speaker 7 (19:57):
What up?

Speaker 4 (19:57):
Though, There we go? We're back now we're good, Leo.

Speaker 7 (20:00):
Okay, rab I disagree with you vehemently on this one.
First of all, pat Riley started shopping uh Jimmy because
he didn't want to lose him for nothing in free agency.
He studied this whole thing. You shot the guy. Now
that the trade rumors are out and he comes to

the way y'all be acting around here lately.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
And I'm looking at you, long haired one. Yeah, you
long haired one. He's mad at you. Remember this, Alex
for next week.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
You've been taking You've been taking shots subliminately, you too,
but God keep getting you.

Speaker 4 (34:19):
So I'm not really worried about you. What what I'm
just saying?

Speaker 1 (34:22):
You know, you taking day keep taking days off, and
you having a coffin fits right then and there like
you are trying to do.

Speaker 4 (34:30):
Is you know what I look at Alex as a
glue guy. I'm a glue guy. Alex is a glue guy.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
The best part about this, I can't wait till the
summer when you're eating ballparking hot dogs all over America.
And I visited every state baseball stadum in America. Y'all
talk to you here, mister cracker Jack. Yes, come and
see you live from the tyrack dot com studios tyrack
dot com. We're gonna help you get there and unmatched election, fast,
free shipping and also road has a protection and if

(35:00):
a lot of you out there, the roads are bad
with all the snow and all the ice. Over ten
thousand recommended his stallars tirereck dot com the way tied
buying should be looking at this Thursday night football game
that arfend. You're right, but the Mariner's taking on the
White Sox six to three. Yes's how this score looks like.
Right now, there's a rumor that Pete Carroll talking about

(35:23):
he would want to come back to coaching and specifically leave.
They're not the team, the Seahawks who are in this game.
The other team, the Bears. I guess he's watching Kayler
Williams saying I come back for that boy.

Speaker 8 (35:34):
Man?

Speaker 3 (35:34):
Is he?

Speaker 4 (35:35):
I thought he was a defensive coordinator Pete Carroll, he is,
That's what he was known for. But so that if
I'm the Bears, I run the other way.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
I don't want the seventy five year old Pete Carroll,
who's a defensive guy, not an offensive messing around with
Caleb and trying to develop him going forward. We talk
about the Bears all the time. They don't develop.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
Quarterba, don't They don't develop the offense right, They don't
tend to get those things correct. So the idea and
looking at their showing them right now, Ryan Poles, they
must be listening to the odd couple and they knew
that we were talking about this.

Speaker 3 (36:06):
He is the general manager, you know, Kevin Warren the
president and CEO. I've known Kevin for a long time.
He used to work for the Lions, Havin Warren there
as well. They got some decisions to make. You have
a quarterback to me and I think too many who
has the potential. I think you two has the potential
to be a really good one as he continues to grow.
They got to figure out a way to get the
right system around them, right. You know, they just trained

(36:26):
offensive coordinators coaches not too long ago, a few weeks back,
So they got to get the right thing around him.
Otherwise there'll be another waste of talent in the Bears
organization with Caleb.

Speaker 1 (36:36):
But yeah, Pete Carroll ain't the way. Pete Carroll ain't
the way. And then I feel bad for Pete Carroll.
I'm that serious man, got a Super.

Speaker 4 (36:45):
Bowl ring cut. He's seventy five going public to try
to get a job. Like, you don't need to do that.
You're Pete Carroll.

Speaker 3 (36:53):
You had success at USC you like you said, you
won a super Bowl, you went to two. It's seventy five.
People in Seattle were like, okay, thanks Pete. You know
what I mean, had a great run. Why can't people
let it.

Speaker 4 (37:05):
Go, mancause I can't.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
You and I sit here every single day with seventeen
TV's in our face, and quietly we always pointed that
guy or that gal who are ninety seven years old
taking small fan dual jobs around the country because that
is their identity. They cannot we live in LA people
cannot see themselves. But anything else other than that sad.

(37:29):
So they're on TV forgetting stuff, not knowing what they're doing.
They put them in a refrigerator when the night is over,
they pull them out the next day, let them unthawed,
and they say, all right, go do that TV thing again.

Speaker 4 (37:40):
People just that they wrap them.

Speaker 3 (37:41):
This is all We're watching ninety year old al Michael
doing mil Michael do the game.

Speaker 4 (37:46):
It's so bad.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
Al Michael says, okay with them music AI al Michaels.
Al Michaels didn't he made the milk bottle.

Speaker 4 (37:52):
He didn't even wash it out. Old you babysit, Olt
