Jimmy Butler wants out of Minnesota

[trojanfan12]

Over/under on days before Thibs gets canned?

So the Wolves are demanding a king's ransom for a guy with one year left on his contract who has made it clear he will not be playing with the Wolves this year.

Good luck with that.

Good luck with that.

The fact that they’re making it hard to move Teague just shows thibs is doing this for show.

Getting positive value for Teague is a win.

Moving dieng for a guy like Johnson wih a shorter bad deal, is a win.

Then get some young guys and picks and reload.

And stop being so freaking stubborn about Wiggins.

Wiggins is the kind of player that is going to hamstring an organization because he's just good enough to keep hoping he will step up but he probably never will.

He is daring the owner to fire him...lol

He has totally gone rogue.

Look, Jimmy is really good.

But, he's not great.

I would put him in the PG13 tier.

Good #2 on a roster.

Great #3 on a roster.

Up Shit creek, if he's #1 on a roster.

Look at the last few trades for tier 1 and two players.

Kawhi- Derozan and Poetl.

George - Dipo and Sabonis

Cousins- Buddy and a half eaten slim Jim.

Thibbs is either stalling or he's trying to recoup what he traded away for what turned out to be a 1 year rental.

The problem is that the season is around the corner. He just doesn't have enough time to play this game.

Hey, Brett Brown was on NBA radio this morning.

I really liked what he said about Fultz.

He was asked what Fultz would need to do to earn the starting spot and he said play lockdown Defense.

I didn't realize how huge that kids wingspan is. Brown said he's still growing and it's north of 7'0.

Dude has pterodactyl arms.

Yeah I mentioned that a couple of times last season but it got lost in the noise about his shot.

Beasley's THC level or whether Lance can keep track of the score?

I am fairly confident Beasley's THC levels are off the charts. I need proof on Lance's ability to track the score.

Sources: Heat pushing Wolves for Butler trade

i dunno.

In a way i think they are playing it smart- having the owner and coach basically be a good cop/bad cop. I think its just all about optics at this point.

From what i read the Bucks wont grade Middleton for him and the Heat have not offered either Richardson or Bam in a deal.

Why would the Bucks take Bledsoe or Dragic or Whiteside etc. for this guy? Those offers are awful.

Id rather take like Eric Gordon from the Rockets or Tobias Harris from the Clippers instead of old expensive guys on expiring contracts.

I have not seen a proposed offer from any team that would get me in the least bit excited if i was the twolves. I have not seen an offer that is even really grudgingly acceptable.

 

[WiggyRuss]

I have heard Miami is offering Dragic and or Whiteside in a deal and refuse to offer Bam or Richardson.

Have you heard anything of substance about the offers?

ehhh...from what i heard Butler is not going to sit out games.

Its not like these offers will get any worse.

Once Smart can be traded in december, Smart and Rozier in some kind of deal for Butler. Boston probably isn't paying Rozier anyway, and Smart is useful, but replaceable.

Boston goes all in.

 

[WiggyRuss]

I mean seriously - if the Heat are not offering at least wither Winslow, Richardson or Bam, why would the Wolves even listen?

I heard Winslow and Whiteside. Bam won't be included from everything I read

if in that deal Miami is taking back Dieng thats not a terrible offer.

dieng has a role, but not with KAT.

They just don't work defensively.
