Re: Butler has requested a trade, the saga continues
LOL now Highly Questionable is saying Wolves messed up and should have taken Rockets deal. Jimmy has us hostage now and they need to force a trade ASAP cause every day teams are lowering their offers and his value is dropping by the second.
When luck shuts the door skill comes in through the window.

Of course i do? WTF kind of question is that?

So they are arguing that we should trade him because he loses value everyday but also take the best deal we have seen that was just reported last week. Makes total sense.

Re: Butler has requested a trade, the saga continues
Jimmy is a piece of ****. And again, you can't defend Butler actions and forget how much damage he's doing to his "guy" Thibs.
Where is the **** loyalty here?
Is not like he can't ask for a damn a trade, but the way he's doing this, is low. .

It seems to be a matter of who you believe....
From ESPN:
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jimmy Butler said he won't play in Wednesday's game against Utah "because my body is hurting," but added that he intends to join the team for Friday's game against Golden State.
Butler told ESPN's Rachel Nichols on Wednesday that he doesn't want any soreness from playing in games after missing training camp to escalate into an injury.
"Because my body is hurting and I don't want to go out there and risk an injury, people make stuff up?" Butler said in a text to Nichols. "What are they going to do when I show up and hoop on Friday?"

Re: Butler has requested a trade, the saga continues
We have much bigger chance to get a win against Jazz at home rather than against Warriors in Bay Area..but Jimmy is sitting against Jazz but gonna play against Warriors lol... pretty decent chance we will be 3-6 after the match against Warriors

I guess I worded it wrong.
Can you really be surprised at his actions RIGHT NOW when he’s been wanting out and he’s STILL with the team? The blame goes on Thibs for not moving on this sooner
Like, what did everyone think was gonna happen?

Re: Butler has requested a trade, the saga continues
Everyone should know he was going to act like a jerk. He displayed that right away. This is now about the same amount of time the Love trade took. Jimmy created the pressure to get the Wolves less return in a trade and maximize his leverage in a trade, but now he is also surprised the Wolves didn’t accept taking on Dion freaking Waiters? Sounds like a diva to me.

Am i surprised he's being a little bitch is a very different question from can i blame him for being a little bitch.
I do blame him for being a little bitch
I am not surprised he's being a little bitch

YES .... must have a scapegoat (Thibs) because Butler is a malcontent and acting like a baby!! Makes perfect sense - Blame Thibs!!
Flip response to Love wanting out, "He has no reason to be upset, you're either a part of the problem or a part of the solution"

Yes....Yes he is.
Even if the soreness is real, he still only has it because he didn’t get himself ready physically for the start of the NBA season.

Injury. Not every game a player ever misses is because of a trade.

Re: Butler has requested a trade, the saga continues
Is Jimmy even at this game? Is his absence the reason we played the first half with so much energy?
