So, it looks like the trade with Miami fell apart, they might revisit it but it's looking more and more like he will actually wear a Wolves uniform again. As he has stated if healthy he will not miss regular season games.

I don't see how they can avoid trading him. Going into the season with him and the massive rift between him and KAT/Wiggins doesn't seem like a reasonable option. The only other possibility I could imagine is if they traded Wiggins as a salary dump for scraps off some team so they could pay Butler now, but it seems that Butler's bigger issue is KAT who obviously isn't going anywhere. I mean, what are their realistic options right now? Either bite the bullet and trade him or try to force another season with the three together in hopes that they can mend the fences for Butler to return long-term?

I just don't see the latter working out. Unfortunately for the Wolves, they don't have much leverage since he can just bail next off-season for nothing if they don't move him. There's not much point in keeping a guy on your team who has made it clear he wants nothing to do with the team going forward, especially when the specific players he has issues with can't/won't be moved either.

The latest is the Rockets offering 4 first round picks for Jimmy.

Am I the only one who thinks that is extremely over rated as late first round draft picks would be sort of hit/miss/miss/miss chances?

Four late round picks is a joke, no way the Wolves should even consider that offer. I am sure a player or two would be involved but we don't need picks and or shit players, I would be happy with one solid player, see Richardson.

I don't get hype since as you said most would be very late picks.


Can we get lavine back?

Stupid trade

Never wished negative on an athlete as far as health. But I wish the worst luck to him as he goes to the 76ers. Once approved.

Who can fill me in on the guys I've never heard of we got for him?

Douche...

Only two of the 3 players will probably play for the Wolves, neither is a high caliber player but at least Butler is gone. I would have rather had Richardson from the Heat.

A mid first rounder and Beasley and Hernangomez.

Also part of the butler trade was used to acquire Culver, who is looking like a long term player.

Still a bad deal, I would rather have that Rockets pick over Beasley and Hernangomez. That pick could be used to get rid of Diengs contract. Leaving 30 million this off season. That is a lot of money to not be able to spend as nobody will go to that team.
