Stein: Wolves brass ‘in strong agreement’ about not trading Jimmy Butler to Rockets

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.

This whole conversation coming from Wolves media is stupid. You don't do trades to "help other teams out" or "prevent other teams from being good".

You do trades if the value you get appears to be beneficial versus what you're letting go of.

When the Wolves consider 4 draft picks and the Rockets being good versus Butler walking for nothing.... they shouldn't have this same opinion. If they do, that's why they are a laughing stock.

Then there's the fact that nothing they really do with the Rockets should matter in the context of Golden State's dominance. That Wolves team is not beating Golden State with any acquisition.

Trading is microeconomics. It's not high school cliques. Logic should win over emotion.

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.
