Players only meeting: "I run this"

[JPM]

Yes yes you do Buckets. Welcome back and now go kick some ass.

[morneaumvp]

Yes yes you do Buckets. Welcome back and now go kick some ass.

Thibs played this off like a boss.

McFail or Kahn would have panicked and immediately traded him for Dion Weighters

[OliverMiller]

Not sure if he was actually on the table, but I'd still rather have Josh Richardson on this team.

[Thrillkill]

Yes yes you do Buckets. Welcome back and now go kick some ass.

Thibs played this off like a boss.

McFail or Kahn would have panicked and immediately traded him for Dion Weighters

And somehow people hate this guy.

Bet I can name you 2 players that said nothing.

[morneaumvp]

Not sure if he was actually on the table, but I'd still rather have Josh Richardson on this team.

Nah, we'll take the superstar over the roleplayer thank you

[OliverMiller]

For the next two years? Sure. After that? I'll pass on paying 40 million for a broken down headcase

Its the Minnesota Nice Bitch that is ingrained deeply in the psyche here of fans, if they are not all boyscouts then shippem out!!!

[Mr. Brightside]

Jeff Teague on Twitter went at Shams and said that it was not a player’s only meeting and “ya’ll gotta stop with this fake news.”

[beetlebum71]

This is such a shit show. Jimmy's gone off the rails, the team is all fucked up, and the media/twitter are reporting shit like piranha that smell blood in the water.

Jimmy's camp and, probably, Miami's front office is feeding nonsense to the media to get Old Man Taylor riled up and make a bad trade. I'm 100% convinced that's what's happening. That way, Jimmy goes to South Beach without his new team having to gut their core to get him, and Miami gets their alpha dog to replace Wade to try to sneak that top spot in the East. It's fucking brilliant, but also bullshit for T'Wolves fans. Mostly because I assume it will eventually work, Glen will make the deal for Richardson and a shitty 1st, and we'll be fucked.

[KevinBaconIsNotMyHero]

The people in this thread that think Jimmy will play here this season and we’ll win and Thibs is secretly brilliant are fuckin morons . It’s actually comical. “Jimmy is real! He’s back! We’re coming!”

I could almost stomach JRich and a shitty 1st, but I'm afraid of the shitty contracts that could be attached to the deal to make the money work. We can't do that to ourselves.

They could throw in Winslow and Adebayo to make the money work. That's a less shitty trade. Knowing the Wolves, we'd demand James Johnson and the $45 million he's owed over the next 3 seasons. DEMAND!

The money can be easily dealt with by giving picks to Sac. But Taylor won't be able to fire Thibs without a bunch of picks to sell. And I just love the reports that it was Thibs that blew the deal by asking for more picks. We all know how much he likes rebuilds and playing rooks. And like he would try to acquire the picks Taylor could sell to pay for his firing. That just makes so much sense.

Jimmy Butler will sit out then? He'll tank it? And that opinion is the rational one? OK. Guess what happens when Butler plays like Jimmy Butler. Price goes back up.

You are delusional. You actually think this is working to the Wolves advantage? He’ll be traded for 2 mediocre players and a protected 1st. And you and morneau will go back to bitching about Karl Anthony Towns every other post. You can’t make it up. You actually think this is going fine for the franchise.

Exactly! Butler is not coming back. This has all been orchestrated to make sure he goes sooner than later.

Richardson is not mediocre. And we would already have him if Taylor could just take players and not cash. And if the only way we can get good players is to have him play until we get good players and cash then that's what you do. But I guess that when all the actual basketball people on ESPN also think that, they are delusional like me. Oh, and they also complain about Towns playing for stats. But they are delusional because every GM wants him for the future.........................a year ago. But that idiot pat Riley wants Butler. What a moron. Guess that's why he's never sniffed a championship as a player, coach, or GM.

Great point there skippy.

[KevinBaconIsNotMyHero]

Pat Riley would take Karl-Anthony Towns over Jimmy Butler in a fucking millisecond if both were available you fucking lol. Are you actually serious with this shit? Good God. Please learn basketball.

[KevinBaconIsNotMyHero]

FYI guys. Jimmy is a tough guy. He’s real. KAT is a pussy. That’s what I’ve been told by thinkkill. Weird. Jimmy Butler has missed 44 games the last 3 seasons. KAT hasn’t missed one. He’s been out on the floor every single game.

[Thrillkill]

I'm sorry dipshit, did you address whether Pat Riley wants Jimmy Butler? While you are ducking that address all the actual basketball guys on ESPN that said they'd take Butler over Towns. Maybe talk about all the wins Towns gets without Butler. Maybe the offensive and defensive ratings when Butler is not on the floor with Wigs and Towns. Or Butler housing them in the scrimmage yesterday.

Or put your Towns jersey on and cry. Of course I mean keep doing that.

Funny no one ever sees him on one side of the floor. I guess it's hard to get hurt when you only play half the game.

Anyone involved in the NBA who would take Jimmy Butler over Karl Anthony Towns right now is a fucking idiot. Based on age and durability alone. Never mind he’s a better shooter in a league where shooting is more important than ever. Jimmy Butler was a better player when on the floor last season. I’ve said that throughout the summer. But Butler is almost 30 and misses more than 15 games every season. He’s dealing with a wrist injury right now. If you could take one of them right now it would not be close. You’re wrong. I’m right. Deal with it.

Oh, I'm sorry, did you address if one of the all time great coaches and GM's wants Jimmy Butler? Or did you evade that again. Did you write anything about those offensive and defensive ratings? I think I missed it. Saw the age thing. How many wins that get us?

[KevinBaconIsNotMyHero]

I run this thread.

Yes you are certainly the Glen Taylor of this thread.

I could have sworn it was just a couple weeks ago where you were complaining about people being so insulting on here.

Yeah....Thrill tried to tell me the same thing. Comparing the two's contract situation and how they dealt with it, but in reality....a real man doesn't have a tantrum at a practice, then blasts his team and FO to ESPN. Sorry, there's nothing Jimmy has done that you can defend him on....at least with a straight face. Love him on the court, but he's acted like a child this week.

On the flip side...like last year, KAT and Wiggins do need to step up their game....that too, is indefensible.

not sure what you're arguing here, thrill. pat riley wants jimmy butler because he's a good player and, oh yeah, available for a trade. i think if KAT was being dangled in a trade, he'd probably be interested as well.

[Philo Beddoe]

If someone came into a meeting and said "i run this" I would instantly tune out.

[jodaman01]

Finally shows up. Stages a Jimmy Butler made for TV ESPN practice/event, then has a meeting stating “I Run This” and that I am now “willing” to play with you guys if you do this that and everything I tell you to do.

Instant and Final Response: OK - GFY!

Ship this giant douchebag out on a one way ticket! Make sure Thibbs goes with and takes all of their luggage.
