Jimmy Butler wants out? (He does.)

Welcome to our community

Be a part of something great, join today!

Well, what is it specifically about his character? He's not a criminal is he? Doesn't hang out with criminals does he? Has he ever put down any of his teammates in public? Has he ever hit a coach? Ever refused to listen to a coach?

I would say worse.
 
What does this mean...?
My guess is, that they're having an "auction". Maybe we offered Harkless, and they said hey, we've been offered Middleton, up your offer, or we're happy going in that direction.

Goycha. It was worded weirdly.
 
I cant wait for Butler to get traded for Middleton, and then for the people that say Middleton is better than McCollum to cry about how we could've given them a better offer by offering McCollum.

League sources have consistently told me that Butler desires to play for a big-market franchise...Few players check as many boxes as Jimmy Buckets does, and it shows in the numbers. The Wolves outscored opponents by 10 points per 100 possessions when Butler shared the court with Towns and Wiggins last season, making them one of the best trios in the league. But when Butler was on the bench, they were outscored by 1.3 points per 100 possessions—about equal to the Lakers, per NBA.com. The Wolves were 10-13 in the 23 games that Butler missed; as Thibodeau said, Butler truly did change everything, which is why he’s reportedly reluctant to trade him.

The problem for any teams interested in acquiring Butler is that he just turned 29, has managed to play more than 68 regular-season games only twice in his seven-year career because of a laundry list of injuries, and he wants to be re-signed to a five-year, $190 million contract...The Timberwolves are paying that price right now after dealing Zach LaVine, Kris Dunn, and Lauri Markkanen for what looks to be a one-season rental of Butler.

My concerns is if we trade Dames bud/brother and bring in a guy that has the alfa dog thing going and maybe leaves, what impact does this whole thing have on Dame in a couple years?

Dame and Butler could fit together perfectly, or could clash and butt heads like no other.
 
I googled "is jimmy butler an asshole" and now I feel like he is.

Conversely, I googled "is damian lillard an asshole" and everything pretty much confirmed how cool he is...

I googled "is Raskolnikov an asshole" and learned Jimmy Butler is Raskolnikov.

BNM
 
Roll the dice.

This team needs to stop being conservative. We traded for JR Rider at the peak of his bad reputation. He helped get us to the WCF.

I'm tired of this boring ass vanilla bullshit. CJ isn't that good.
How can you be tired when you admit you don't invest much emotion in the team?
 
Doesn’t matter as long as they win.
Yes, it does matter, because one could lead to them winning for years, and the other would result in both being pissed off and Jimmy leaving.

So Jimmy will be 30 next year right?
If he wants paid its in Jimmy’s best interest to stop pissing off everyone he plays with. If he comes out of this next season only playing 65 games and a malcontent I think the amount of teams willing to give him that giant contract he wants will dwindle.
