Low and Away 1,574 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 14 minutes ago, Kriggly said: The Wolves screwed themselves when they resigned Wiggins. The dude doesn't play defense, doesn't hustle, and isn't even an efficient scorer. He had massive potential as a rookie and did nothing to develop it. If I were Butler, I would want out too. He could be an all-star player in a major market netting near max dollars with supplemental merch contracts. I doubt he stays with the Wolves through the season. I doubt he stays through the season either. If the Wolves could trade him to the worst team in the NBA would be great but I have a feeling the Wolves are that team. But it still sounds like it is all about the money. The contract the Wolves offered was mid-July and Butler said it was a good offer and after KAT signed his all of a sudden Butler was being disrespected. Being a person with a strange sense of humor I drafted KAT and paired him with Butler. I'll laugh every time I set lineups. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

80version 785 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) BBM had him at #11 in per game value last year (#8 in AST punts). We all know Jimmy's playing for his next contract and showcasing the skills to expedite a trade. This will be fun to watch. Yeah, who needs WWE when the NBA can deliver this kind of drama? Having paired him with KAT, it will be a happy day when Jimmy gets traded. Edited October 15, 2018 by 80version Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The whole mess is because he wants to get paid, and to get paid he needs to play well. Whether he gets traded or not, it won't affect him much Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dboywong 273 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I can dig that news. I want that "third team" Jimmy to come out every game this year. He sounded like a man possessed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Superstars get treated like the most spoiled little princes’s ever. I thought the same thing when kyrie wanted out of cleveland. I mean, they got 0 out of that trade anyways. At least bench him for a few months. Itl cause more buzz around his name and it’s not like players like jimmy or kyrie are going to lose value in their prime cus of a little benchin. I say teach em a lesson. Benching Butler for an entire season maybe would cost him less money next summer after a season without playing this would be the best revenge possible for Wolves gm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Other players will start to take sides and the media will rip them apart 24/7. Keeping Butler intentionally on the bench will only worsen things up. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

atlantadynasty 552 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) I'm hoping for a monster year. Hopefully he wants to make a point so lets see. Although he was very inconsistent with his demands. He said he is a competitor and wants to compete, yet chooses LAC, BKN and NYK as potential trade spots lol Edited October 17, 2018 by atlantadynasty 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My guess is he thinks he can get them to the playoffs and attract a big-name free agent next year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The TWolves are in the business of winning basketball games or improving their chances to win games in the future. They're not in the business of teaching grown men lessons on how to conduct themselves. At this point both parties just want to get the most possible out of the separation. I bet Thibs gives JB all the minutes he can handle to showcase him for trade and JB probably keeps it cool so long as mgmt demonstrates that they're doing their part to move him.

Be the franchise leader and take them to another level to compete with the big dogs. Do you think joining another super team makes him a competitor? lol 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Edit: and three spots that can max another star or in the case of the Knicks already have one. If he had said Sacramento or Phoenix, ok, yeah, true competitor. No, it was those three spots because they can pay him. He might be annoyed with Towns/Wiggins, but this is primarily about being paid and not competition.
