It's a business, if Butler doesn't want to be here... fine. 100% this problem is on the coach/management. Butler said he wanted out, Thibs ignored. Thibs lied all offseason too. We're supposed to trust this guy? Says Rose is one of the best players in the league but can't ever say that about Towns?

If Pau Gasol was too old, Horford should be in the grave.

Thibs ain't trading shit. He's gonna play chicken with Butler. "Gonna leave 50 million on the table, Jimmy?"

Horford is 6 years younger than Gasol.

We signed Luol Duck Deng this offseason. He's on the end of the bench.

Key word is "was".

Pau was 31 in 2011, when the thread was started. He was deemed done and over the hill.

Horford is 32 and he ain't no Pau Gasol.

As the president of basketball operations you cant just think short term. You need to have a long term future plan, but he is also the coach so he will think short term and probably only about this season. There is a conflict of interest for him to make a deal which is why he needs to be fired or at least be relegated to a coach only. Someone else should make the eventual deal for the good of the franchise.
Yes, He should have an 8 year plan. Wait, he works for Taylor. A 15 year plan to make the playoffs........once.

Some of you freakin amaze me. Just lie back and take it.
Thrill you have to think long term and short term. There is a balance and its important consider both when making any significant moves. I am sure you know that. You cannot think one season only when your nowhere near contention.
Why would Thibs think long term? He doesn't care about what happens to the Timberwolves 5 years after he's fire, and I don't blame him. Glen Taylor should not have offered a dual role in the first place, it is a mistake, and as long as he sticks with Thibs the rest of this year, Thibs is going to do what benefits the team in the short term, because it will allow him to continue working.

Is Richardson, Waiters and an unprotected 1st really that bad of a deal? How many years does Waiters have left on his contact?

Shams says the Sixers are interested in Jimmy Butler now.

Fultz and Covington. It’s a done deal for me.

Wolves would have 3 number 1 overall picks to bound around. Covington solid as hell 3-D guy.

Here is what I was talking about, could be BS though.

Thibs would probably cause a scene to force a firing before he let this happen

Will we get past 220 (about the number of pages in the Gas-oil thread)?

Onward 166, the next frontier!

In all seriousness, just get a freaking deal done already!
