The real question is would you rather have LaVine, Dunn and Markannen. If you like Covington, Saric, Bayless, and a 2nd better then we got a good deal.

I think future Dirk will end up the best player from all this crap. Including Butler, himself.

The only piece you miss is Markkanen. Saric a little bit of a step down. I did not like Dunn here.


Going back to when Thibs got hired... Draft Murray, keep Rubio over Teague. Sign Redick last summer, keep Markkanen. Deal Wiggins/LaVine?

I like Covington/Saric side over the Lavine side.
We couldn't afford to be the ones paying Lavine $20M or so a year.

Doogie in recent podcast says Wizards offered Otto Porter weeks back for Butler.

I like Porter.

But if we weren't going to pay Butler, there is no way we would pay Porter.

Also, I have to believe Saric and Covington is a better trade than Porter. Now it if it was Butler and Dieng for Porter and an expiring (Oubre, etc.), that might have been a different story

YES!!! WE GOT 3 NOBODIES AND A BAG OF CHIPS, I mean 2nd rounder!!!

Now we have 0 players on the team who are great players. KAT is a bust who is good, not great.
He has zero potential to be great at this point IMO. No one else on this team is even good.

This franchise is a joke and I hope it leaves our state. Get B-ball out of MN.
It's been 32 years since one of MN's four major sports teams has been to the Championship/Superbowl.
Every single year is failure until we win one. 4 teams, 32 years. That's roughly 128 consecutive failed seasons.

I assume Covington and Saric are sitting out tonight? Probably more reasonable for them to play Wednesday.

From the sounds of it, nobody seemed sure that the paperwork would actually finalize in time for any of them to play tonight. Haven’t heard anything else since.

I heard the paperwork is done. Just heard that Jimmy isn't playing until Wednesday. Everyone in the trade has to pass a physical first. Wonder if that is getting done now?

Everything is official, I have to assume the physical were done in town. Which means they are here. I have a feeling they will be in civilian clothes on the bench. So you can cheer them at least.

I hope they get some playing time tonight, that would be swell.

Robert Covington and Dario Saric will not be available for Monday's game against the Nets.

All the players involved in the Butler deal will need to report to their new teams and undergo physicals before they're cleared to play, which has not happened yet. All these guys should be able to make their debuts on Wednesday, but with Covington and Saric unavailable on Monday, Josh Okogie and Taj Gibson could be forced into heavy minutes.

I have a feeling Butler is going to break down (probably knee issue) within the first few games he plays for the Sixers.

Knowing how important Butler was both to the Wolves’ success on the court and Thibodeau’s chances of being a successful team president and coach, Thibs did not take steps to explore deals for Butler during the summer. At least one team, unaware that Butler had already tried to steer Wolves leadership toward a trade, reached out to the Wolves in July to gauge Butler’s availability and was quickly shot down.

Any guesses on the team?

I hope the wins come reeling in and another chemistry elixir is hanging out outside of the game. Dario still 24 and RoCo isn't ancient to go along with both guys being hustle guys on the court, I can see this home stand turning better than .500 ball

Butler decided he would play on Friday night, but he viewed it as the fork in the road. If the Timberwolves didn’t find a deal to fulfill his long-simmering trade request after that, he would begin to sit indefinitely, league sources told The Athletic.

The Kings defeated Minnesota 121-110 to push the Timberwolves to 4-9 and a winless road trip; Butler had 13 points, eight rebounds and eight assists in 41 minutes. He had played almost 124 minutes in the last three games, all losses, and at halftime of the final one, the Wolves were informed that this was it for Butler, sources said.
What a bitch.

Thanks for the play offs Jimmy, I really mean that, but fuck you.
