    Self-disclosure:

    1. I am trying not to be as cryptic when I can. The only reason I can be more direct is because Minny is a mess...and it's public knowledge, just like Trump being peed on by women. ;)

    2. This EAR was LITERALLY early this morning when I said, "GM, did you see the fallout this week?"

    3. I can't make promises. I'm sorry.

    4. I still think, despite my guy, we don't have Jimmy in our pocket, but I'm told we want to engage for other pieces.
    -Miami, LAC, Brooklyn and even NYC are talking. SAC is offering, but, what? That team is...nvm

    5. Butler and Melo has been discussed in chemistry circles...think about that....Jimmy would be like PG13...that didn't work out in OKC. That's a big flag for me...even if the players have different talents.

    6. The reason Morey is pushing last minute is because Butler's VALUE is LOW at the moment. GMs are afraid of what he's coming with, as a rental. Morey isn't afraid, but he also knows we have some chemistry issues to adjust.

    7. Don't underestimate Taj and his value. His skill, leadership and contract. Tyus, too. #Decrease the Drop

    8. Ne is happy, but unsure of where he will be ....that's my guy, sorry, I know what he brings when used right. MDA tries, but he doesn't get that Ne in a PNR (below the rim) is effective, strong and dependeable. He can also shoot that midrange jumper. He's just "not allowed."4

    9. I'm gonna EXIT. This is not my thread. Cyber you got this. Minnycits ain't my forte.

    XO

    I don't think anyone is feeling like this thread is being hijacked by you or even worry about it, Cod. The info is appreciated

    Just common sense.

    Thanks for spending your Saturday with us. I'm off for a joint birthday party for my wife, sister, and aunt. I fear when I log back in tonight for more info that you will have again receded into the enveloping mist; but I got my fix already.

    ;)

    Interesting tidbits by @Codman on Harden. He seems to want Jimmy just as bad as we (well most of us) do.



    btw, who is Ant? Wiggins? Tolliver?

    I think Taj would be a cool ad but doesn't move the needle for us. We need an above average wing if we are not getting Butler.

    Taj+Tyus would be amazing for Knight.

    Good luck getting Thibs to give up Taj Gibson after losing Jimmy Butler. I don’t think so.

    Definitely need to appreciate these times! Having a GM like Morey that works so hard and smart to truly have a championship team. We may not get Butler but i appreciate the fact Morey is trying hard to get him. Harden is definitely not the only player that wants him here.

    The “offensive post” in question from Bob Muscala had a racial undertone in it as he allegedly described Jimmy Butler’s behavior this week as:


    “Egomaniacal, African American mental illness”

    Fifty bucks says his spellchecker substituted "African American" for some uglier term.
