    Before he got hurt, Butler was probably top 5 MVP candidate. He took Wolves from Lotto to 3rd in West before he got hurt.

    Fair enough, I know he’s got the reputation problems.

    It would be interesting to see the Wolves' defensive stats with and without Jimmy - my vague recollections are that it's a huge difference.

    [​IMG]Gorgui Dieng - C - Minnesota Timberwolves
    ESPN's Zach Lowe reported that league sources indicate that the Timberwolves prefer to package Jimmy Butler with Gorgui Dieng and the $48 million he's owed over the next three years.

    Dieng was routinely pulling in top-60 value in 9-cat before Taj Gibson came to town so a trade to a better situation might do him some good. We're sure there will be a lot more updates on the Jimmy Butler situation so stay tuned.

    I’d love both on this team.

    Yup. A lot of people shit on Deing last year, but his struggles were largely based on having to play with Crawford during most of his minutes.

    -12.8 per 100 poss. w/ Crawford vs +8.7 w/o

    You can get notifications when a certain account Tweets haha. Whenever Woj Tweets, I instantly get a phone notification.

    I’m guessing Butler is out by Wednesday.

    I don't. I just happened to be reading HoopsHype, which collects all the NBA Media tweets.

    More impressive than me posting them then. Sometimes I'll literally click the share button within the notification, open up my browser (which usually has the forum on it), and immediately upload haha.

    Do you have the Twitter mobile app? On someone's account, there should be a bell icon next to "following". If you click that, it should provide notification options for that specific account.

    Guess his next team

    Everyone is saying Brooklyn but since we want him, I’ll guess worst case scenario; Denver.

    Man if he went to Denver that'd really suck.

    I feel like Charlotte might be a darkhorse. Bridges, Lamb, picks and filler salary?
