    Wolves don't want us competing with them for the 8th seed

    It looks like the Rockets strategy is to suck so bad that the Wolves won’t have any fear that adding Butler will turn them into a super team.

    Boom daddy. Excellent job of reading through all the crap.

    The reason Minny isn't doing the deal with the Rockets is very simple. They want a better deal.

    Their problem is they want a better deal without paying the luxury tax and the only offers that are better involve them jumping into the luxury tax. Has nothing to do with helping Houston get a third great player. But guys gotta have something to write.
