ya my gut tells me butler got a bit of a bum rap the last year or so.
He challenged towns and wiggins to work harder and they basically cried abuse.
He went to philly and watched simmons and embiid literally wilt against the stifling raptors defense.
in between getting beat up by the raps, embiid did two things, dance for the crowd and then wil -- same thing is happening this season. Im hoping joel is saving himself for the post season; but he looks like he would rather not try than look bad.
Now Butler is in miami where the only rule is work hard and put the team first and suddenly hes all good again.
Doubt he was the issue.
ps: towns is not in good enough shape, period.

Couldn’t agree more.
I was way down on Butler the last couple of years. I think the team success of the Heat and the structure of their culture / program is demonstrating that he is very capable of committing to an organization and buying into the vision of a franchise and a proven front office.
I view that as an indictment of Minnesota as an organization more than anything else.

So a bunch of scrubs for Towns? Nice offer. You couldn't get him for Robinson, Barrett and a first or two.
What's palatable on the Knicks in return for Karl Towns? The correct answer is nothing. You don't give up a stud for a bunch of mess. The Knicks would be "willing" to possibly offer Knox, Frank, Randle, DSJ, and a pick for Towns? That sounds like the Knicks would be willing to offload a bunch of underachievers to me. Smh.

Um... the TWolves want to win. Not become the Knicks.
I doubt there is trade with the TWolves and Warriors as they want to keep KAT.

Well we'd be giving them a top pick in this years draft, and they hold their own pick I believe. If KAT doesn't want to be there, you rebuild. Look at the AD trade: young, potential packed players, a top draft choice.

That game wasnt his fault. The only way i can blame towns and wiggins is that wiggins could have taken guarding Hield upon himself as napier is too short and the okogie was tired and was getting cooked. okogie was being lazy on D and then having napier on an nba court in crunch time is a joke. Towns took a pullup when he could have gone to the rim at the end of regulation.
TLDR: towns wasnt especially bad on D, just below average.
Coaching was awful, anyone with a brain would put a taller player on Buddy
Wiggins played well, but needs to be asked to do more on the court.
Okogie and Napier are absolute garbage and its on ownership and the front office to acquire hidden talent like the heat and raptors do every year.
The Kings were running pick and roll to force the switch onto Napier. How is that on Wiggins?

KAT and Wiggins came out with a 17-point cushion with 90 seconds left last night and had to come back a minute later because their backups gave up a 10-2 run in the blink of an eye.
I mean how can a terrible PG like Shabazz Napier be running your point?
