Cancer and diva

The Wolves never wanted the trade request leaked. They were always willing to satisfy the trade request when it was made – what now? – two weeks ago today, two weeks ago in Los Angeles. But the Wolves had no intention of leaking said request. That was the Jimmy Butler side that leaked the request. The Wolves remain upset about that. So, I get a kick out of the Butler side – who’s been leaking everything, by the way. Well, I don’t want to say everything. But 98 percent of information you see out there is driven by the Butler side, OK. And they are upset a trade hasn’t been completed yet.

From the stuff i've read Butler made his request several months ago and Thibs didn't really move on it. The one made a few weeks ago wasn't the first one. He probably leaked it because the first one didn't gain any traction.

I have no doubt that Butler's trade request has more to do with money (something which makes him more of the stereotypical greedy athlete and less of a winner) than it does Wiggins and Towns.

He went to Wolves management shortly after the season and asked to be maxed out and they turned him down. Probably surmised that the money was earmarked for Towns at that point and decided to request a trade.

I never understood the Derrick Rose apologists until now. I STILL like Jimmy. God help me.

I love what he brings on the court and how hard he works but I could do without all the diva crap. He isn't great enough for you to be willing to tolerate it.

The very best article that I have read regarding the Jimmy Butler situation. Also one of the better critiques of Butler the player.

Yeah the problem for Thibs is that he can't trade him without doing a bad trade. One year on the deal in addition to it being a guy that wants out.

you cant get value for him

Remember when these sorts of things were reputed to never quite happen on Tom Thibodeau coached teams? Well get a load of this demand from Mr. Buckets.

This sort of dysfunction never happens on Thibs coached teams.

Now Butler has issued a deadline. He isn't going to sit out so I don't know what "or else" means.

_________________

That isn't dysfunction. Butler asked for a trade and now he's trying to create some leverage for it to happen sooner.

Lots of people hating Thibs these days and Butler looks like he couldn't get traded for the corpse of Roy Tarpley right about now.

I'm good on that front.

Pretty solid on that front and the Burgeoning Wolves Bandwagon has gone the way of the steamboat.

Thibs will be fired within a year. Hey Walt want any action on that?

Your silly ass bets tend to be of the sucker variety.

Thats too easy.

Butler is a really good player. Unfortunately, his arrogance far exceeds his actual level of play. He comes off as a prick in everything he does. I saw him on one of those ESPN Make-a-Wish segments, and he seemed like a dick on that, too.

That was a play on Tarpley's drug abuse.

Maybe it’s just his personality, because he could be a heart of gold. But I can see how can rub people the wrong way.
