Trench Mob 1,690 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Just now, RedDogNamedClippers said: Yes Finals Contender with Two Headcases (Whiteside & Butler) and a retirement tour Wade. Can't disagree about Whiteside. He's a bum, but a capable bum. Enough to get the job done. The disrespect tho. He's gonna pull out all the stops. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dipo, Embiid and Kawhi are all gone. PG goes next 2 picks, so you going to wait until round 3? If he is there round 3, your league is trash. Never said I was totally against picking him. I don’t know where I am going to pick yet so to clarify if given the chance hypothetically I would pick them ahead of him. I also never anything about him being there in the 3rd to pick. He won’t be. I only play in a 10 team league each year so I am pretty sure most of the guys I named will be there in the 2nd with Simmons, Drummond, Lowry (who my brother loves so pretty sure he will be picking him again), etc. It’s not a forgone conclusion that if I was mid 2nd pick I won’t be able to get one of the guys I named over Butler.

Cdub2k 1,259 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I know we're talking about "practice" but that report that came across today has an entertainment value of 10. This dude shows up talking sht and grabs the 4 worst players on the team and they ran the 1st team off the court. And he was yelling at the GM who was watching and he was yelling at the coach that they need him while he was doing it. Then he basically dropped the Mic and left the court after the scrimmage was over? That some quality stuff right there. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedDogNamedClippers 2,361 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 If I’m Minnesota this makes y’all look like a worse ran organization than the Kings, and the Kings have never in the last 10 years have had anybody as close as the talent as the Timberwolves had (Minus Cousins). How do you mess up having Butler, Wiggins and Towns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But they’ve also never made a hiring decision as bad as making Thibs their GM AND Coach so I guess its a tossup. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mmcc1029 1,462 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 So where are you guys taking him? Could see him slip a bit due to all the turmoil and rumors/uncertainty. What's the latest you let him slide? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not only that, but seemingly right after his mic drop exit, he gets dressed and does an interview with Rachel Nichols where he basically s--- talks KAT for being soft, and does the whole sorry-not-sorry routine, apologizing for being too honest. I own Jimmy in one league and the entertainment factor alone makes him an interesting player to have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vnmslsrbms 281 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 He's more likely to play 60 something games than 70. I'd rather he be someone else's problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flipside of that coin is Jimmy wants a max deal in 2019 and is going to ball out this season and play through minor knocks. Money is an incredible motivator. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
littlesamtung 151 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 The Timberwolves cancelled Thursday's practice and will not have media availability.Butler said he will play anyway. But I'm afraid of another Kawhi. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J.T. Marlin 972 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Butler's a pretty big d-bag for acting this way and the Wolves are morons for not getting a trade done already. They should have made the deal with Miami for Richardson and Bam. Also, pretty crazy that HOU turned down a deal for Butler because they didn't want to give up PJ Tucker.... Bottom-line for fantasy value is that I think Butler's a nice guy to target. He's a proven top 15 guy and you're likely going to get a discount because of all the drama and uncertainty. He will produce wherever he goes. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I understand and it would mean HOU going for it all this year with a core of Harden, CP3, Butler, Capela & Melo. Plus, they would still have a solid bench with Ennis, MCW, BKnight, Chriss, Nene and Gerald Green. If you can't win with that group, it's never gonna happen... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I mean it makes sense because Tucker can play positions 3-5 especially the 5 in very small ball applications, but still. If someone offered me Butler for Tucker, I’m taking it.

SirMixalot 128 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) I don't have a subscription to the Athletic, but according to Shams: Quote He jumped into the fray, grabbing several members of the third team such as Luol Deng, James Nunnally and two-way player Jared Terrell to go against Karl-Anthony Towns, Andrew Wiggins and some of the higher-profile Wolves players. He challenged them, like he has so often since he first came to town. He talked trash to the young Wolves and the old Wolves, spewed venom toward head coach Tom Thibodeau and GM Scott Layden, as ESPN first reported. https://theathletic.com/580655/2018/10/11/jimmy-butler-return-timberwolves-chaos-tom-thibodeau-trade-request/ I have Jimmy as a keeper and this is just amazing and surreal. I really hope that the Heat are still in play for a trade though. Edited October 11, 2018 by SirMixalot Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dangerzone 11 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) Teague just called out Shams saying there was no player meeting. Maybe a leak by the wolves to generate last minute leverage? https://twitter.com/Teague0/status/1050468578615537666 Edited October 11, 2018 by dangerzone Quote Link to post Share on other sites
