The Athletic Highlights the Jimmy Butler Saga

Behind a paywall but here are some of the interesting tidbits:

quote:
Oct. 25: Morey offers four first-round picks along with the injured Brandon Knight and Marquese Chriss to try to shake Butler loose from the Wolves, league sources said.
quote:
But the Wolves are unimpressed.
quote:
Nov. 6: Minnesota begins to engage seriously with Philadelphia, New Orleans and Houston. New Orleans’ package is headlined by Nikola Mirotic and an unprotected first-round draft pick and the Rockets’ proposal has Eric Gordon, Nene and two first-round picks, sources said. The 76ers come with their proposal around Robert Covington and Dario Saric, leaving the Timberwolves to deliberate.
quote:
Nov. 10: With a deal nearing the finish line, Layden and 76ers general manager Elton Brand work to finalize an agreement, and Taylor and Sixers owner Josh Harris place their final touches on it. Saric, Covington, Bayless and a 2022 second-round pick are on their way to Minnesota for Butler and Patton. A trade call with the NBA is set for Nov. 12. All told, it’s a solid return, especially considering the Wolves’ lack of bargaining position.

If that shite is true, whoever the Wolves GM is should be executed publicly.

Written by Jon Krawcynski and Shams Charania so I'd say it's pretty damn reliable.

This is what the big pussy KAT and Wiggins wanted. Sink back to mediocrity, millennials.

i always hate when they tell you what the team that didnt make the trade offered. It hurts the chemistry of that team going forward.

For rejecting inferior parts and picks that were so heavily guaranteed as to maybe allowing one of them to fall before #20?
Pft. The Wolves got 80 cents on the dollar, when that Houston offer was 55.

The Wolves took by far the best offer.

How do you know the Rockets picks would be bad in 21, 23, and 25?

Bubba we just know. Winningest sports franchise in the world since Hitler conquered Poland. They just win. Hardwn runs circles around the league and could play til he’s 50. I’d pencil them in for 60-65 wins in all those years.

3 losing seasons in the last 35. chances of those pics being anywheres but late teens at absolute best isn’t good. Thibs knows that. It’s why he had no interest in the deal. yet some here thought laughably that the CC offer was a sign of us melting down at the start to the season. :lols:
