Brooklyn Nets right to want to keep picks, even with Jimmy Butler available

Even as Minnesota Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor expressed his desire to get Jimmy Butler out of Minneapolis as soon as possible, the Brooklyn Nets are unlikely to be interested in moving any of their first-round picks in a potential deal for the four-time All-Star.

According to Tim Bontemps of The Washington Post, Brooklyn is not the team to approach if the Timberwolves and Taylor hope to get any future draft assets out of a Butler deal.

The Nets seem unlikely to move on from any picks … after they finally emerged from the hole they created by trading the rights to five straight first-round picks earlier this decade.
