HurricaneKid 163 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I don't think its an issue of Jimmy refusing to play but of Taylor making promises to KAT and Jimmy. I don't think there is any way he ever plays for the TWolves again. So if he doesn't get traded I think he sits with a "wrist injury" until Taylor can make a deal. Doesn't seem like there is a big market for him. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hornrimmed_rambis 2,087 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 So, the most likely scenario as of today is: Thibs won't deal before the start of the season Butler stays away from team Dec 15 rolls around... Lakers trade for Butler using all those expiring and 1-year contracts. Ta-daa! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Of course, he will have an unhappy Butler for 2 months, but not sure he cares. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Season is about to start and I don’t see him getting fired anytime soon. It’s a s----show... But he did meet with thibs again for a trade so with his patience running thin i definitely see a trade soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think Houston has the pieces to pull it off without breaking up an already good core. A deal centered around Eric Gordon is not going to be as attractive for the T-Wolves vs what they already had on the table w/ JRich, imo. Esp given that their 1st rounder is going to stink compared to Miami's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fabrar 2,801 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Oh man I don't even own Jimmy or any Wolves players but I'm watching every Minnesota game this year just because of what an absolutely entertaining gongshow it's gonna be, 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tekno Team 2000 1,619 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Man this dude screams bad locker room guy who thinks he is better than he actually is. He is a good number two/three on a championship caliber team who thinks he is a one. I would not overpay for someone like that especially with the miles he has accumulated playing for Thibs. And for fantasy I am not picking him in the 2nd unless guys like Oladipo, Kawhi, Embiid, or PG are not there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmoney23 518 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Miami would be silly to trade for this s*** bloke. He seems like a terrible locker room guy who thinks he's better than he actually is, plus he'd be a one year rental for a Heat team who, even with him, are the 4th team at best in the East. Why trade assets (especially a good one like Richardson) for an overrated headcase that's going to destroy team chemistry and probably not take you beyond the 2nd round in the East? For a myriad of reasons, I wouldn't touch this guy as a FA if I'm an NBA team and he wants a max deal (unless you have a bunch of goofs on your team already - see the Lakers or are complete gongshow of a franchise already - see the Knicks).

PG goes next 2 picks, so you going to wait until round 3? If he is there round 3, your league is trash. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BoogieNights 570 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Man, what a bizarre story and turn of events. I don't see how a deal doesn't get done in the next week. There's no way he plays another game in a T'Wolves uniform after what he did today. And if he does, well that's just must-see TV with a bowl of popcorn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol. Miami would be instant Finals contenders in the East with Butler. The only team I'm scared is Boston. And before their name pop up, no. No one takes the Toronto Raptors seriously, even with Kawhi. Edited October 10, 2018 by Trench Mob 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boogie Buckets 454 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Hes kinda making himself look less and less desirable to trade for, don’t get me wrong this drama is hilarious but I don’t think Jimmy is doing himself any favours. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
