If there really is a mandate it can only mean that Glen made a promise to KAT to get rid of Butler and KAT is a POS liar.

LOL, you might be the first person to hate Towns as much as you do...

I don't hate him unless he did two things and I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. One that he demanded we get rid of Butler and then Lied about it. If he did both of those things he is a lying POS that I could never respect.

For the people that were saying otherwise..

If true than the reports that a deal was in place and the Wolves reneged are full of ****.

I don't think he requested Butler to leave, but Miami reporters said that Minnesota reporters did tell them that Towns did request Thibs to be removed, that ultimately could be the reason Butler wants out/won't sign a long term contract.

Star players have a lot of power, top players are usually more important then the head coaches.

Thibs hasn't been removed. So if that was a condition then why did KAT sign the extension? Does he have a promise? Regardless if that is the case and he never requested the removal of Butler than he isn't a lying POS and I don't have to hate him.

Those upset about the trade taking a while(it really isn't taking that long for an all-nba player being moved), you can go read how the celtics owner pushed for more assets in the Pierce/KG trade to Brooklyn, sometimes you got to be persistent on getting more. I think we all know Riley really wants a player like Butler and at some point more then likely will give in to get him.

Wyc Grousbeck: I’m going to answer the question I want you to ask, which is about the Brooklyn trade and the way that went. Because it wasn’t a disagreement, but it was an evolution. As I recall — and Danny may remember slightly differently — but as I recall, he came to me with that deal on draft day [in 2013] and said, “We’re going to get two first-round picks from Brooklyn for [Garnett, Pierce, Terry, and White], and take on some contracts.” And I said, “OK, are [the picks] unprotected?” And he said, “Yes, in fact, they are.” I said, “Great. Let’s go get a third pick.” And he goes, “Whoa, whoa, whoa,” but, “All right, I’ll ask.” And he’s not afraid to ask, he wasn’t pushing back. But he went and asked, and he said, “Unbelievable. We got a third pick. This is great.” And I said, “Great. Go get a fourth pick. I think these guys have deal fever — we’re going to keep going until they say no. I think they’ve been told by ownership to get the deal done, so let’s go back.” And Danny sort of gave me a look, like I don’t want to lose the deal by pushing too hard. Normally we try to play down the middle of the road with people, [but] I said, “Go push aggressively for a fourth pick.”

And so he went back, he came back to me and he said, “OK, you’ve got your wish. They’ve said no now … they’re not going to give us a fourth pick.” I said fine, make that fourth pick into a swap. Because swapping a pick doesn’t feel like you’re losing a pick. You still have a pick, and it’s pretty unlikely that we would be able to swap — that would mean we were better than they are. And we think they’re going to be pretty good with this trade. So just get the swap and call it a day. So we got that swap, and that swap turned into Jayson Tatum and another first-round pick — it turned into the number-one pick in [last] year’s draft [which was later traded to Philadelphia]. That’s how the Brooklyn trade evolved as I recall it, which was working together with Danny to get the best possible deal out of Brooklyn.

Hat's off Cossell. You've been a lot more right than wrong. I vote you stay.

I don't care whether he stays or goes, but he said if it didn't happen my midnight I think it was Tuesday he was gone until next year. Why say that then not do that. Richardson/Whiteside/FRP for Butler/Dieng has always been the most likely trade. It's not like Cosell is some kind of genius even if that happens.

[Howard Cosell]

You guys need me too much.
I have to fall on my sword and come back.
Source was correct..will be correct on the pieces.

Timing was off. Source thought deal was done just like Pat Riley thought it was done.

Sacramento is back in the talks for today.
Kings waived a player to creat another 1.3 mil in cap space.

Lighten up and give him a little credit. We've had a lot of fun talking about this trade due to his provocative posts.

You've been banned a long time ago. I would bet the Timberwolves win Championship this year more than your source.

Richardson was included

[minimus]

So Thibs is trying to play a comedy and get Butler back to MIN. Now it is up to Glen to decide what to do

[theGreatRC]

We don’t even know what the actual deal was.

Some sources are saying Richardson is now in the deal, but Thibs isn’t wrong to want more unless it was something fair like Dragic and Richardson

Unless we know the actual deal, we gotta just trust Thibs is trying to get us a great return and not settling for Richardson + Waiters/Tyler Johnson **** platter

[Howard Cosell]

It’s going to be Richardson & Whiteside going to Twolves.

Stay tuned.

Its hard to know for sure with Jimmys camp and whomever else leaking stuff.
