Hopefully Wiggins and Towns feel that this is their team now and more so for Wiggins sake he takes a step forward without Jimmy around. Should make for a interesting matchup when the two teams meet.
The Wolves were 3-1 vs the Bulls and Jimmy. Wigs and him always go at it and Wigs can handle his own.

Thibs brought him in and Butler has destroyed almost everything.
Can't trust Thibs to make this trade. He is coaching for his job and wants to win now. We need a young piece to grow with Wiggins and Towns.
This. And Thibs' impatience is the reason we have Butler to begin with.
Actually word (win now) also came from Taylor, lets not forget that part.

Might change his tune if the Nets can bring in Butler for expirings and have him ready for Kyrie.

It's going to be the Clippers. Thibs history with Doc and they have the "win now" pieces. Give me Harris, Bradley, Robinson and Beverly for Butler & Teague

Thibs was not under any pressure to make a deal for someone like Butler from ownership.

Sorry, I don't apologize to someone who has their mind made up before actually evaluating what someone does. His Thibs hate campaign began within a couple games of him starting here.

Which trade is better for Wolves sending Butler & Gorgi for

Brooklyn sends Deangelo Russell, Dudley expiring, Faried expiring, 1st round pick?

or

Knicks send Knox, Noah 2 years 28 million, Lee 2 years 2 million, 1st round pick?

I don't think Brooklyn can even be in the conversation with the poo poo platter they call a roster.

Can't trade Bradley till December since he's a new signee.

I just looked at their roster, they don't have anything appealing. No young good talent. Just expirings. We need one legit prospect or player back with two throw ins.

Kevin Knox or Tobias Harris need to be involved in the return.

Does Russell suck? I honestly have no idea.


I feel like he and a first would be acceptable. Or does Boston still have all their 1sts?

Knicks by a mile … I don't think you'd get the pick and Knox though.

Butler is downplaying his fractured relationship with young All-Star center Karl-Anthony Towns as a reason for wanting a trade, league sources said. He is enamored with the idea of playing a central role in a big market, sources said. Butler had once imagined playing for the Los Angeles Lakers, but LeBron James' arrival as the franchise's cornerstone made it less appealing for Butler in the prime of his career, league sources said. - Woj

I would be okay with Teague and Butler for Russell PG of the future, Hollis Jefferson 3-D, Faried expiring and future 1st

I don't like that Noah and Lee have 2 years and 40 million on the books for two years. I kind of like the Brooklyn deal because you get two expirings add that to Gibson, Tolliver, Rose, all off coming their deals too freeing up 60 million in cap so we could play again in free agency as well.

This is why we need to fire Thibs.

We can trade with the Clips but I’d want SGA.

Number 1 player I want from those teams is Knox. Throw in Kanter and Frank and call it a deal.

SGA, Harris and a 1st.
Harris fills Butler's role immediately (not as well, obvi) and SGA begins his prime as Teague's contract runs out.

Knicks only do a deal if they can maintain cap space for next summer to lure Kyrie or KD.

I think Porzingis will be like a 17 mil cap hold.

Kanter expires, which is why I think they'd love to get Gibson for another expiring.

I would trade Gibson/Butler to Lee/Noah/Knox/1st .. I don't know if they would..

I'd also extend the deal above and include Gorgui for Hardaway JR... I'm sure they'd decline as they'd rather just stretch Noah after the season.

I like the Brooklyn deal better than Knicks.

Wolves send Butler and Teague for Russell, Hollis Jefferson, Faried.

Russell future PG, Hollis is the small forward defender, Faried expiring.

Russell is not good enough to be a main piece in a Butler return by a long shot.

Yeah. But since he decided to pull this bitch move and maje these demands a week before camp, the other teams hold the cards.
