If I am Butler I say, "Taylor, we had an agreement. You have had a number of weeks to look through offers. Time to put your foot down."
Time to demoralize the starters and coaching staff by dominating another practice with the scrub team.
Jimmy saying that he's hurting instead of "holding out" and missing game checks. Smart move. Pulling a kawhi in a way. Maybe this helps force the issue
I actually hope that happens. Would be good for us later. That's not all that's involved here. The other side of the situation is with us giving up 4 picks we are asking Butler to opt in on his contract for next season. Butler doesn't want to do that. So the 4 picks really aren't on the table without the Wolves giving more back or us making the picks conditionals. Minny is forcing Butler's hand here. He can't continue to play and risk injury. And he's not going to continue to play for them and risk not getting to a team that will give him his 5-year max. As I keep telling you....Thibs did him dirty. Thibs Nope
They want to see the rockets sink a little bit more before they throw us a life preserver. They’re not getting a better deal.
Morey may not blink but Tilman is the wildcard. Who knows if he has the same ice water in his veins like Darryl.
Jimmy to Rachel Nichols:"It's because my body is hurting I don't want to go out there and risk injury. What are they going to say when I show up on Friday and hoop? It will all go back to normal until they see me arguing with my dog and then people will say I named my dog "KAT" so I can yell at him"
