Well, first of all, I thought you were going to put me in a jock sniffing hole. Instead, I'm surrounded by Barry Jackson's not the best situation here. But look, I think you can tell where the Heat are in their whole building, rebuilding phase, whatever they are, just based on Barry Jackson's reactions. OK, you've talked about Barry on the show before. He's been doing this forever.

He's the intrepid reporter. This is the reason why he's shown up on the show. He's just a little bee. He'll just be anywhere that you need him to be. OK, but this is not the LeBron era. This is not the Dwyane Wade and Shaq era. He doesn't have to treat this the way he treated those. This is the Jimmy Butler era.

This is the third best era, third best iteration of this team that Pat Riley has put together. So now it's Jimmy's time. Okay, whatever. Do you know how many franchises would have loved this six year stretch? Would have been the best six year stretch of their entire franchise. For Pat Riley, it's light work. Oh, I've got to get rid of him now? Nobody thought I could even get him.

And you want to talk about full circle moments. I know this is supposed to be a Barry Jackson thing.

Because, look, it's a new year. I've got to get these things out, okay? The idea. Happy new anus. I will take one, by the way, if you're offering. I mean, a new body part, why not? You want a trade? Ooh, no, I'd need a brand new one. Brand new one, not used, please. But this full circle moment for Jimmy Butler, like, I don't understand how Jimmy checkmated Pat Riley.

No one wants my anus. Is he? Is he? At 47 years old, Dan, I don't care what body part you offer me, I'll take a new one. If it starts with the... Then that's where it starts, okay? But I don't understand how Jimmy Butler checkmated Pat Riley when this is very much a full circle moment here for Jimmy Butler. The Warriors will not trade Andrew Wiggins for him.

Karl-Anthony Towns is dominating in New York, and Jimmy can't find a team. And I don't even think this is about leverage, because the Warriors did not want to trade Kaminga and Wiggins for Jimmy before all of this mess, and now it just shows you that Jimmy overachieved here, Pat Riley and the Heat overachieved here, and now it's breakup time. Oh well. But what about Barry?

Largely equal. It's like an extra medium. Are you trying to be hurtful on purpose?

I was a columnist at the same time as both Dave Hyde and Greg Cody. It's at the Miami Herald, the paper of record. Let's be honest. And there is just something about the weight of a Greg Cody column because you know Greg believes it. Like deep down in his soul, he believes it.

And this is nothing against Dave Hyde, an absolute true professional, a wordsmith, knows how to sort of hit some notes with the fans and the readers, but not quite. quite the same as Greg Cody. Sometimes it might just be a roundup column. Hey, how are all the teams in the city doing?
