    We were already willing to give them 4 1st rd picks. I don't think any other team is gonna do that. That was the best trade offer for Minny and likely our last desperate move.

    Miami, Washington, Houston...

    I'm pretty sure Butler's agent has told these teams which one he's willing to sign a long-term deal with

    With us offering 4 1st round picks, I'm pretty sure he's told our team that he will extend with us

    You don't know that. Miami is absolutely in this race. Richardson, Bam, 1st rounder. Maybe they take Dieng. It could be anything.

    It is presumptuous to assume the Rockets have the best offer "to fulfill the Wolves needs."

    Butler likes people with guts. He himself has shown the passion and fire. Rockets offering 4 1st rd picks for him shows guts. I think he respects that. He will extend with Rockets for sure if Rox can get him.

    If the Heat take on Dieng, then sure, that is probably better. The last trade offer we saw from the Heat though didn't include taking on Dieng.

    Just want to point out it’s no coincidence that he plans to sit the day of Knight and Chriss being able to be packaged together. That makes me believe that Butler told Minny that Houston is where he wants to go.

    You really think they offer Richardson and Bam?

    I am dubious they will offer both, tbh. BUT, with Riley sometimes he just "goes for it" so you can't discount that as an option.

    Miami's already in a shitty cap situation so I doubt they take on Dieng without including Waiters. The benefit of our package is that they can use a combo of the picks to dump Dieng if they really need to. Richardson and Bam just seems like too much for them to give up.

    So we can all agree that the preemptive Thibs "This definitely isn't related to any trade discussions" is the projection of the century?

    Yea, its what I think too, only team I am worried mildly about are the Wizards, cause they seem desperate right now. But they also signed Dwight and idk if he and Jimmy will get along.
