re: Was Butler worth Jrue? The Pels didn't think so...

But there's no way we could have gotten Roco.

There's always a way.
Why are people assuming the Wolves don't want Covington?
This guy has 4 years left making on average $11.7M/yr.
He's finished in the top 5 in +/- at the SF the last 2 years, and was #1 last year. He's one of the best defenders in the league and shoots in the upper 30's from 3. He is one of the best contracts in the NBA that isn't a rookie. He's 6'9". He's not your #1 or even #2 guy, but he is exactly what a team like the Pels need to play with AD and Jrue.

Minnesota isn't letting him go, and if they do, they are retarded. We could do a simple Wesley for Covington trade. I'd give them 2 unprotected 1sts with that too, and they'd still be dumb to do that trade.
