    Part of me is rooting for the Wolves here. I hate when players do this.

    If he wanted to sit out on his own he would do like Kawhi and come up with some imaginary injury that no doctor can diagnose.
    At this point the Wolves have agreed to allow him to sit out.

    By steep, do they mean 4 1st and EG? Or 4 first, 4 seconds, Tucker, EG, and 10% of Landry's?

    They are insane. The closer to the deadline the lower his value holds and the more power he (Butler) has.

    They are going to end up getting scraps for him because he'll be seen as a half-season rental that has already mentally checked out for the season.

    History shows I think that the longer you hold on to a disgruntled player the less value that player will hold in situations like this.

    why would minny want to take on porters contract ? he hasnt shown to be worth even half what he's making.

    that said, butler is not coming here. idk why yall insist on getting your hopes up. the rox are their last option. they will want players, picks, AND to dump dieng. that is too much.

    Idk, porter is younger than Gordon and ...probably a better player. Add in a pick to that and well, it seems like a good deal. Idk, maybe they like Richardson more?

    I think it's time for another Jimmy Butler outburst through the media

    I wonder if Les is on an island somewhere drinking a Mai Tai, and sends over an email to Tilman offering to buy the Rockets back for 1.5 Billion?
