This is an IHeart podcast.

Yeah.

Soaker.

Good.

Listen.

Summer in the wintertime.

Smoke back on this beat like it's dinner time.

Four packs, no recital low check on my heat in Miami's been slotted in as the major piece in about every

rumored mega deal that he'd have been involved in from Kyle Lowry to Kevin Durant.

Turns out he is immune to all of these rumors.

The rumors do not bother him.

He told Ira Winderman, I mean, every summer, that's just what it is. "'I mean, ever since I've been here, "'my name's been in rumors. "'Rumers, they don't bother me. "'I'm just getting ready for the season, "'whether I'm on the heat or somewhere else, "'I'm getting ready. "'As you get older and you have more years in the league, You realize this is what comes with the business. You can be in one city one day, the next city, the next day. But at the end of the day, it's about me and getting better every single day. A lot of days in this quote. Like I said, what team I'm on, I'm going to be ready to play. This seems like a haiku.

control. That's how you get the bag, Tyler. We're not ready to really offer you any money until you're

able to be a team player and to be more positive in nature, Tyler. Do you understand? It's a tough

game out here. That's how the heat do it. Because of course, once Tyler signs an extension, he becomes untradable for an entire season.
