Morey leaked this offer to make GM Thibs look stupid for turning it down, but it has no real appeal for Thibs the coach.

Ownership will have to get involved here.


100% accurate...why don't we take one of those first round picks and give Thibs hardaway and take back Brandon Knights contract which is one year shorter.

So Thibs gets 3 1st round picks and THjr for Butler.

Butler will ruin our tank though... but getting rid of tim is tempting lol


we are getting knight and a 1st round pick from houston...Butler still goes to HOU in this proposal and Thibs gets picks and someone to help him now in Tommy.

Agreed. But it may not be all bad.

If Jimmy Butler is worth FOUR first rounders, then even mid tier players will be asked for at least 2 first rounders. Basically Morey just overrated and outpriced, turning the league into a seller's market.

Now, a Courtney Lee may become easier to move.

At the same time, landing help via FAIR trade might be impossible for the Knicks.


umm.........no

It would have been Phil + Thibs.

I can only imagine how that would have gone

Jimmy Butler was taken with the 30th pick

Every Houston first will be at least 30th or better

So, Wolves are essentially getting 4 Jimmy Butlers back

4 is greater than 1

Wolves would be stupid to turn that down
