Butler has requested a trade, the saga continues

Its beyond amazing some of you are pouting over this.

What’s the point of having 2 soft players who CANNOT WIN? What has to happen for some of you folks realize how soft Kat and Wiggins are. Jimmy just exposed and confirmed for every basketball fan in the world that Kat and Wiggins are heartless and in the nba there’s not too many heartless winners.

I’m glad jimmy did this. I hope we keep him and kick ass, instead of being stuck with heartless Kat and Wiggins all year stumbling into the lottery.

Butler carried a terrible Bulls team to the playoffs, it's not really that hard to believe that Butler and some backups beat this current starting team of the Timberwolves(without Butler).

I still think if you have Butler and Towns and can find another good to high level player who is willing to give effort on the defensive end, this team has a chance to go deep in the playoffs.

brah you're talking about the Eastern Conference playoffs. It ain't the same thing at all. Ain't no ballpark neither.

Well you could just look at the team's record last year with Jimmy on the court and off...It was basically 3rd best team in the west with him playing and a lottery team without him.

Towns is no doubt an MVP caliber talent on paper - and that is something very hard to come by, but if he doesn't have that fire in him and dedication to do everything required to win... What's the point?

You do realize like 98% of the leaks that this is coming from Jimmy. You like to source Wolfson enough. So you should know that Butler is likely saying this to make it seem like he isn’t toxic to a lockeroom.

wtf is this playing soft ****..people here are obsessed with some cliche terms like soft, alpha, clutch blah blah....KAT might not be good on defense but his impact on field last season was similar to Jimmy. Each player has some faults...KAT might not be good on defense but still his impact on field is huge...even Butler has some limitations...funny how people don't talk about it...especially his inefficient iso-ball in 4th quarters

dude...we were something 9-11 without him and we had an extremely tough stretch when Jimmy was out..even if KAT was missing, we would have had similar record...if we had a decent replacement for Jimmy on bench, we probably would have had a 11-9 or 10-10 win record...our wing depth last season was garbage

I just watched the Timberwolves in preseason, I'm not surprised they got beat.

Yeah, Jimmy is really good. Much better than his backups Shabazz Muhammad or Jamal Crawford.

Amazing that Rachel Nichols just happened to be in Minneapolis for an interview right after practice. (this is theater)

Why would it be amazing, once they heard he was going to be at practice ESPN puts her on a plane? It's going to be a pretty big story. I think we all knew either he was going to have an injury or surgery to be out or go back to practice pretty soon.

Weird... Butler says it "could" be fixed but doubts it will. Wonder what the issue is and hope it becomes public.
