You're listening to Giraffe Kings Network. Chris Cody, do me the favor because this news is breaking now and locally it'll be interesting because on the day after the Miami heats, wheels fall off and the Celtics skyrocket past them to what looks like a different future unless the Miami Heat makes some changes. It's being reported now by Anthony Chang of the Miami Herald that Jimmy Butler's potential extension is going to put the heat because of what Butler wants in the position of deciding right now whether they want to extend Jimmy Butler until he's 37 years old for around $58 million a season. And it's going to eat

up a lot of salary cap and you are going to be in the same position and you might have a situation where everything with Jimmy Butler comes to a head and they have to find different value for him because they decide that they don't want to give one of those contracts and that they decide the window has closed and then you make some decisions about whether you're willing to pay him and those legs until he's 37 when you've taken so much out of those legs do me the favor and make sure that Amin addresses this tomorrow because we've lost him for oddball and I want to get his expertise on this as someone who's a front office person. The interesting

note on this extension is it's so as a two-year 113 million dollar extension would be the max this would also buy Jimmy out of a player option so he already has a player option in one of those seasons at 52 million dollars so all this would do is increase that from 52 to around 58 and get you one extra year of Jimmy Butler. Now, we don't know whether. If you want that. Right, no, the question would be,

is that one year going to be a productive year? Is that one year going to be, hey, we've got all this money and we use him as a salary filler two years down the line to go get him for somebody else, but it's not two extra years of Jimmy. His player option is already there. So essentially, you're asking,

do you want to extend the Jimmy and Bam together build for one extra season on top of the contract here in the house? The news that's being broken here by Anthony Chang is that the ask is going to be Jimmy using the leverage of right now get me more, more time, more money, because look at what just happened. It's the most obvious thing. The agent is gonna say, when he was healthy nine months ago, you beat this team, and now look at what happens when you don't have him.

Look at how important he is. You need him so that everything else works. You just saw what happened to Tyler Hero's draft value, because he's not out there. The news in this is now you're saying do the heat want Year 37 and 38 of Jimmy or whatever it is at 50-something million a year and Jimmy's people are saying pay us now leverage now money now All the things that is smart to do in business. I have some advice for Anthony Chang You know how woge has Woj Bomb?

When Anthony Chang reports something? Chang Gang. Chang Bang. I screwed it up the first time. Not a great day for me. They both work. Chang Bang is good though. Chang Gang.

You said it so confidently when you said, you looked at me in the face with such confidence. You looking at me is what threw me off. I blame you for that. When you said Chang looked at me in the face with such confidence you looking at me is what threw me I'm glad you said Chan gang and you felt like you nailed it And then you heard your own voice when you made eye contact with me and record you registered in my eyes That doesn't make sense and Bang

That's a good one. That also doesn't make sense That's a good one. That also doesn't make sense though. It's like a, it's a playoff gang bang. Yep, we got that. Chang Gang, that's how gang happened. At least we know why he made the mistake, Dan. I'm glad he explained it to us. It's been a day.

The fact that you looked at me with confidence and that your confidence deteriorated when you made eye contact with the recognition of that didn't did make to Dan Sense to Dan and now he sees me and now what do I do? The fact that I saw all of that in your eyes And then you turn around on the back end and explain to me that it's a gangbang joke because you're Incapable of being subtle when you're falling apart confidence wise

of being subtle when you're falling apart confidence-wise. It's been a rough show. I learned earlier that my fat belly could be a tumor. I've been thinking all show. Roy Collins, is that what it's saying with that? Is this thing a tumor? Roy Collins, throughout my childhood, had the biggest beer belly I've ever seen. And you'll forgive me for telling that story in a way that had the tumor in the middle

of it instead of the fact that that's the hat that's now fashionable for Tyler Hero. I ruined that story by throwing a tumor in the middle of it when all I was saying is don't you guys understand, I don't understand how this can be fashionable when I'm pretty sure it would be discovered still today in the dirty garage of Roy Collins tucked inside of something because that's not the way anyone wears a hat it's rumpled and I don't understand how that's fashionable when I'm telling you I could find it in a Miramar garage right now with Roy Collins who has that tumor belly. Is he still with us? He can't be with the size of that tumor.

You really jumped the shark on that, Dan. Oh, shut up, Jeremy. That is, see, that is the jump the shark. What happened? That was a weird time. I don't know what happened there. Show was great today. What was that, what was that?

A weird time, man. That was such a good show. A weird time. This is a weird time.
