    There has been ZERO indication of this. ZERO.

    Without CJ being on the table in a trade, then no.... he didn't propose a decent enough package.

    I would agree with that. The Wolves would require much more than CJ, imo to send Butler here.
    You know, they will ask for Dame as many other teams have and I think Neil would do a good job in saying no way jose.

    I think he's done a decent job so far! This year the weighting is much heavier, however.

    Nope.

    But he has blown up two teams. I don't want mine to be the third.

    Defensively, it's MUCH better.

    This is wrong. It IS wrong to call out your teammates, in the media...

    Yes, it is wrong... However, it doesn't necessarily make him a BAD person or a terrible teammate.

    Miami is evidently aggressive in their pursuit but I don’t see who the hell Minnesota would want off their roster. Whiteside isn’t a fit with KAT. Winslow maybe, but they’d still need to add salary to make that work and they don’t have any expirings. I bet Thibs would rather have Evan Turner than Tyler Johnson.

    It might not be possible to get Minny to trade him to a team in the West.

    We might be out simply because of that fact.

    I wonder if the management of Minnesota is smart enough to figure out which conference they’re in...

    Why do we even need conferences? The idea is antiquated and makes no sense in today's NBA. There has been a HUGE disparity in talent and competitiveness between the two conferences going back nearly two decades and it keeps getting worse.

    So, Adam Silver, eliminate conferences and do it NOW!

    It sure doesn’t make him a good teammate. Anyway, I don’t think calling out teammates is the biggest concern. I think it’s way worse.
