    Yep, like another poster said in another thread, so far KAT played well in one game, when Butler was resting, in the others he has been pretty bad, got benched yesterday...the Wolves are taking a big risk here, Butler is gone regardless, but if they don't resolve this quickly they risk to turn KAT into a perennial cancer until he gets traded.

    Exactly right. League and players union involved too. Butler gotta behave or face consequences from Silver. He's going to get traded UNLESS he changes his mind....which is not likely. But it could drag on to Dec 15th.

    Yeah it wasn't only that he got benched but the way he got benched..lol
    Oh dear..you can be absolutely certain that this is just ammunition for when KAT demands a trade out of Minny in 3-4 years from now. They will use it to justify him in the media for his PR. It is inevitable.
    Though hopefully he has already fired his PR team because this year they are doing a horrible job.

    Maybe if they trade KAT, Butler will be willing to stay.

    Desperation and pressure! Arena has been empty. Tillman wants more stars. Told DM to risk future if it means winning now. Also, Rockets know that Hardens injury will be nagging all year unfortunately. To him and Ennis. Will be resting more on B2B... Need JB.

    this is particularly strange to hear since his hamstring injury last season was more severe (grade 2) and he ended up returning early with no lingering affect afterwards.

    we need Butler to inject some life in this team and give us a consistent scoring threat next to Harden and CP3...it also helps that he’s elite defensively

    the roster as currently constructed is not beating GS...can’t be out here starting Ennis when the team is healthy or MCW when there’s injuries
