I think Butler made himself look like a big mouth idiot.
Scottie Pippen said Butler had leadership issues in Chicago too. He was disrespectful to players and coaches.
His Chicago teammates hated him. Now the beat goes on here in Minnesota. Where next?

Hopefully to whoever gives us a decent deal. I have no interest to who, just interested in how much.

Sleepy and KAT both have their mega contracts and no amount of yelling and prodding by Buckets or anyone else is going to make them play any harder. IF they do play harder at some point (nevah gonna happen with Sleepy) it will have to come from within.....

You want to pay a hobbled 35 year old diva 40 Mil to play 50 games a year?

Jimmy asking out was the best possible thing for this franchise.

Scottie got bullied by Jordan nearly his entire career and that was still successful (BTW not saying Butler is any Jordan) but the premeditation today from Butler today including the ESPN interview Is the real thing to be concerned with. Even though it is a circus show I wouldn’t be opposed to making them all play together this season. Possibly...quite possibly, given the talent KAT and Wiggs have to tap, this season with Butler could bring something out of them way greater than anything we could get in return via a trade for Butler. It would be insane to just let Butler go next year without return but a trade at this point is submissive to competition on some levels which has no place in professional sports. It is a high risk/reward contrarian approach though. Thibs is going to lose his job anyway so maybe he rolls the dice.

butler doesn't know what's best for himself. he's a child. all this "that's me. that's who i am between the lines. maybe it wasn't the smartest thing, but that's me!" bullshit doesn't exactly INCREASE his trade value. i can just see pat riley going "yeah, let's give up on the two promising hard working guys and a draft pick for the old injured overpriced borderline star who's a mental case and will undoubtably drop a small nuclear device into my locker room. yeah. yeah. let's go. i can get behind that."

i think we'll be lucky to trade jimmy for the ghost of paul mokeski's jock strap at this point. thanks buckets! just screwed us AND yourself - feel good?

Hey Clunk Boy

Remember when you compared Christian Ponder to John Elway? Lol

Remember when you said Mitch Leidner was going to be a first-round draft pick? Lol

Buttler made Thibs look like a pussy. Thibs is supposed to be the leader of this team and he allowed this to happen. This is all on him.

What are you even suppose to do if you are KAT in this situation? Dude completely put him on blast in front of the nation. Butler sounds like someone who is manic and should be psychologically treated.

I have never talked to Towns or Wigs so I don't know.

Interesting that you wonder about that though. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Butler's a big mouthed bitch. All he cares about is winning. Bull fucking shit. Who were the three teams he asked to be traded to? New York, Brooklyn, and LAC. Fucking also-rans. What was the first issue he had with this team? They wouldn't gut the fucking thing to give him his $10 million raise this year so he could sign a super-duper max extension instead of the regular max. They would have had to dump $20 million in salary without taking anything back. They weren't going to win doing that. No damn way.

Butler is a diva asshole who is taking advantage of the fact that everyone's paying attention to him right now. He shows up at practice, yells in everyone's face, leaves early to do an ESPN interview, and threw everything into disarray.

Thibs is just as bad for allowing all this to happen. A real leader would have told Jimmy to fuck off when he wanted to come practice yesterday. Thibs embraced the whole thing. Coward.

Jimmy needs to go. Now.

The teams he named could make enough room for a 2nd max player SO HE COULD WIN. He then got in on Mia because they had some players and the ability and desire to dump some money and do the same.

Jimmy doesn't want money so he can have more money. He can't live with the fact that 2 players he has no respect for make more than him. He said exactly that much.

And Thibs is a coward for bringing a shit storm down on his own head because he thinks it will help the team? OK. That's some joda level logic right there.

Lots to unpack here. He is already on a team with TWO OTHER MAX PLAYERS! If Jimmy was as good as he thinks he is, wouldn't he be able to win here? I get that Wiggins is max in money only at this point, but KAT isn't. KAT is a legitimately great player, and his skills complement what Jimmy does well. If he cared about winning, why not ask to go to teams where HE would be the 2nd max player? Instead of playing the speculation game, pick your teammate. LAL, Washington, Portland, Houston, Boston, places like that. That would make more sense for someone so hellbent on winning.

As for his rationale for asking for the salary bump, it's insane that you buy that shit. If he would have waited until next summer, he could have signed the exact same extension as Towns. That has him making more than Wiggins and equal to KAT. It was about asserting his dominance and proving to himself that he could get Thibs and the organization to do whatever he wanted. They didn't cave to his crazy demands, and he got pissed. That seems pretty simple.

Lastly, you really think Thibs did all this to help the team? It sure as shit seems like he's trying to get fired. That would appear to be the motivation from my POV. He doesn't want this team without Jimmy. He never did. He knew he had the assets to acquire him when he took the job, and was hopeful that he could take the two years he was under contract to convince him to sign an extension. It didn't work, so now he's angling to get canned so he can walk away with the $12 million he's owed, not have to coach this team anymore, and find another cushy TV gig until it's been long enough for some team to forget what a nightmare he was when he was here that they throw a bunch of money at him.

I'm not saying he's an utterly rational dude. I'm saying his rationale is that they should have cleared the salary to get him on Towns level because he doesn't respect Towns and Wigs. Of course that's over the top and we shouldn't but that doesn't mean that he's all about money. When he thinks money it's not about his bank account. He thinks of it as a measure of who's best and a measure of respect. Doubt he took a lot of finance classes in college. And all the talk that this is calculated is ludicrous. What, he and his agent did a bunch of meth and tequila and came up with this awesome long term plan? Then kept doing meth and never slept and added to it?

And Thibs is not trying to get fired. He's trying to prove he's right. And he is technically in a perfect world. Unfortunately to be right we would need to be a team from the owner down to the 17th man. And we...........are the Wolves.
