Jimmy Butler to the Miami Heat looks like it could be a real possibility. Whiteside and Waiters?.

Wow. Jeff Teague.Andrew Wiggins.Robert Covington.Dario Saric.Karl-Anthony Towns. Derrick Rose.Josh Okogie.Taj Gibson.Anthony Tolliver. Gorgui Dieng will most likely be traded and Tyus Jones could be tied to a deal - maybe to the Phoenix Suns. That’s a very solid 9-man rotation.

If you don’t watch a lot of Miami Heat basketball, Goran Dragic is unquestionably better than Jeff Teague.

You can expect Jimmy Butler trade news to come out in the next 24 hours. That’s all Towns was waiting for to sign his extension.

Jimmy Butler scores 38 points in an 11 point loss tonight for the Philadelphia 76ers, it’s almost like they lost two key role players that gave them depth.

It’s weird that the Wolves are playing like they don’t have chemistry. Weird, It’s almost like they have someone in their lineup who practiced with them twice in 5 months and also wasn’t with the team in the preseason. Weird, it’s almost like they need to make a trade. Weird.

Per Sources, Tom Thibodeau and the Minnesota Timberwolves are looking to send draft picks and cash to the Sacramento Kings in order to get back a veteran player with a substantial contract. Doing this would allow the Wolves to complete a 3-Team trade that includes Heat or Clips.

Should the Timberwolves take a chance on Dillon Brooks?
The Memphis Grizzlies have informed pending free agent Dillon Brooks that he will not be brought back under any circumstances, league sources say. Full story and details at @TheAthletic:

The current Timberwolves situation proves that playoffs don’t create a winning culture. Attitude and unity create a winning culture. Jimmy Butler and Tom Thibodeau “types” of guys don’t mesh well with the future of the franchise in Karl-Anthony Towns. Moves need to be made.

Possible Jimmy Butler destinations at this moment in time:. Miami Heat.Los Angeles Clippers.Brooklyn Nets.Milwaukee Bucks. All four teams have been said by several NBA analysts throughout the past 48 hours. With Miami and Clips having the best chance.

What we learned last night from our pre-season win against the Warriors:. Derrick Rose is still playoff Derrick Rose. Josh Okogie is legit. We play more as a unit without Jimmy Butler.

Rumor is that Jimmy Butler took the third team and beat the starters at practice. Rumor also is that I could care less and want him off the team as soon as possible for disrespecting this franchise and using us as an emotional rollercoaster. Sincerely,. Minnesota.

I’m sick of reading this plus/minus garbage. Gerald Green had a plus/minus of +27. LeBron James had 46 points tonight and played great defense coming out to a plus/minus of +7. Plus/minus is used best when talking about lineups as a whole or small spurts of a game. Please stop.

We told our twitter feed that Josh Richardson was legit this past summer and everyone was greedy, including the front office. Can’t get JRich now.
Josh Richardson is getting 21 ppg, 4 RPG, 3 APG, 40% from 3. 90% from FT. 1 steal 1 block. 24 ppg on the road. Baller.

It would be hilarious if every player on the Timberwolves decided to not pass Jimmy Butler the ball under any circumstance for the first game of the season. It would also cause a loss, may or may not be worth it. I’ve decided, it’s worth it.

The Heat can't keep everyone, and after re-signing Meyers Leonard and Goran Dragic, it's looking increasingly likely that Jae Crowder signs somewhere else. He would be a great fit for the Timberwolves.

Should the Timberwolves trade their draft pick(s) for another veteran/third core player?. Like = Yes.RT = No.

There is no substance to the recent reports that say the Miami Heat were offering Goran Dragic, Justise Winslow, Josh Richardson, and a 1st for Jimmy Butler. The only place where that would work would be 2k. Miami would straight up refuse to make that a trade 100% of the time.

Yeah. There’s gotta be a coaching change. Simple as that. The majority of losses this season can be attributed to decisions that have been made in the second half.

Good afternoon. The Minnesota Timberwolves have a core of Karl-Anthony Towns, D'Angelo Russell, and Anthony Edwards. That's a young unit - a really, really good one.

Whew. We're 10 gms into this thing. Also . Wiggins' 3P% is basically the only thing that's up. AST and REB rates are down. Pick a metric, too: BPM, WS . hell, even PER. It's all as bad or worse as with MIN. And you can bet the Warriors know this, despite the lip service.
An all-time heist. The Warriors' fleecing of the T-Wolves in the Andrew Wiggins trade is becoming more obvious by the day (via @Schrock_And_Awe).

Strap in, Timberwolves fans.
Nets will be willing to work with Russell and his reps on ways to get him to a team of his choice, including sign-and-trade scenarios, league sources tell ESPN. If Russell and Nets found a sign-and-trade deal that works for both, obviously, there's no need to renounce his rights.

Zach LaVine through 3 games this year will be averaging over 30 points per game and we’re completely fine and are not crying about it right now. Also, Kris Dunn isn’t a bust and Lauri Markannen is scary good. Everything is okay, we beat the Pacers.

Josh Richardson just scored a career high quarter of 16 points in the 1st, just to tell everyone to shut up about what he can or cannot do. If Heat are truly offering J-Rich, you do it immediately, as we’ve been saying for a month. Or we can wait until he curses someone out.

Russell.Beasley.Okogie/Culver/Crabbe.Hernangomez.KAT. Rosas basically remade the starting lineup on the fly. Also, pretty unlikely that both Okogie and Culver are both on this team next year.

Per a source: The San Antonio Spurs have extended a qualifying offer to Keita Bates-Diop. Bates-Diop will be a restricted free agent.

This is a good learning moment for younger sports players in the world. Jimmy Butler not having control of his emotions or passion isn’t commendable. It’s called immaturity and having an imbalance within yourself. Wolves are good without Butler, he demanded the trade, not us.

One more thing: It’s all on Gersson Rosas now. It’s his roster and his coach. If things don’t get better this or next season, he’s going to shoulder the blame.

The fact that the Timberwolves attempted a sign-and-trade for D’Angelo Russell makes me think they’re gonna make some moves to prepare a large offersheet. They must be extremely high on him.

Better pick for the Timberwolves?. Like for Devin Vassell.RT for Deni Avdija

lol let’s just make this clear: it’s better to get Jimmy for something rather than nothing, whether you like it or not. He presumably won’t even play with Wolves if he isn’t traded, let’s be realistic about this.
ESPN Reporting w/ Zach Lowe: Minnesota’s asking price for Jimmy Butler remains too steep for teams. Minny seeks quality vets/top prospects/future assets/cap relief. Too high a price for interested teams, including Miami. Sources are skeptical of Thibodeau’s desire to make deal.

Woj on ESPN: Wolves "aggressive" in pursuing J.J. Redick, but he's meeting with Philly tonight. MIN open for 3-4 year deal, which JJ likes.

This account has been saying for months that Josh Richardson has the potential to become a Jimmy Butler type talent and people questioned Richardson’s abilities for too long. Now the Timberwolves may have to settle for Eric Gordon or less, and that is incredibly depressing.

Y’all ever think that Derrick Rose should be used the way the Los Angeles Clippers use Lou Williams as a spark plug instead of starting him?. I understand we see Rose scoring 20 PPG and think “start him,” but who’s about to lead the bench then?. Asking for a friend 🧐.

I’m not crying, you’re crying. The fact that Kris Dunn is a better version of Tyus Jones is frustrating to no end.

How about this:. Josh Richardson/HassanWhiteside/2019 second rounder. For. Jimmy Butler/Gorgui Dieng . Miami: Keep a first, get rid of Whiteside cap, take in a 4X All-Star. Minnesota: Move KAT to stretch-four, pair great contract and youth of J-Rich with Wiggs and KAT, no Dieng.
@DunkingWolvesFS That makes sense. I know Spo loves Olynyk so I'd have a hard time seeing Miami give up him and JRich and a 1st and still taking back the Deing deal. I would think 3 out of the 4 would be the highest Riley would go, and that's if the Wolves take on DW's deal. Just speculating.

I can’t believe Timberwolves Twitter destroys Derrick Rose and his fans every time he does well and the fans commend him for his performance. When Jimmy Butler terrorizes a Timberwolves practice after demanding a trade, fans are “divided” on how to feel about it. lol priorities.
