Butler has requested a trade, the saga continues

I would think skipping the Warriors game would make more sense as he wouldn't even have to board the plane.

Better to avoid travel if it's about getting rest.

I don't follow. Are you saying he should skip the whole road trip and stay home? 12 days/5 games between tonight and next home game.

Even though he's been somewhat better in Chicago, I would still consider Dunn a bust for his draft position. I tend to rate drafting ability based on results, which in Thibs case aren't particularly good.

It was a very weak draft class outside of top few.

He passed on Jamal Murray, who was 3 years younger and a much better shooter. Drafting Dunn was a wiff.

Well, hindsight is strong. And Thibs is a funny cat. He already knows his offensive schemes are some of the best in the league in efficiency. Both the Bulls and Wolves have shown that. He probably liked Dunn the most for potential defense. Something that still alludes him in Minnesota 2 years later.

Defending the Warriors is the best audition possible for a trade to HOU.

I meant between playing the home game or the road game the next night.

The team that nearly beat San Antonio on opening night is the real team.

This isnt the Duncan spurs, *almost* beating them being the real team is exactly what I am saying. Its like saying we *almost* beat the blazers or something, thats not a 2 seed, thats a borderline playoff team.

Still a 2 seed, with MVP Rose

He wouldn't "miss" games so he won't get fined, but he would definitely sit out games for rest, soreness, tightness, etc. Anything he can get away with & do you blame him? He's been playing and helping us win games, but i'm sure a lot of us expected him to be gone today or sooner.

I absolutely expect him not to miss games for bull $hit reasons while under contract and being paid by our team to play basketball. Only a horrible excuse for a human being would do that.

People keep saying our offensive schemes suck. They should be drowned out by our offense being one of the most efficient in the league.

It looks like that Paul Allen rumor was pure speculation.

KAT needs to sleep with Rachel Nichols.

Then who will Jimmy have to text.

Luigi Catafalque, who's been spot-on in his reporting, says Riley has taken Richardson off the table, but Waiters and Tyler Johnson remain available.

Then he just took his team off the table too.

I get the anger towards Jimmy, but don't let the game tonight fool you into thinking we wouldn't miss him. We wouldn't have won the LA game without him.

Jimmy isn't going to skip out on a free trip to L.A.

It's pretty funny how good of a team Jimmy wants to leave from, especially given the Bulls connections, the guys he appears to get along with on the roster, and the additions of guys like Okogie and the re-emergence of D-Rose. All because of what.. beef with KAT? Smh Jimmy. Your loss.

Dig in. He can goagf what he did at Derrick's presser just shows he has mental health issues. For once I saw a happy team playing tough team basketball and I loved it. If he doesn't want in, make him suffer, were going to be fine
