As I’m sure readers have heard, Jimmy Butler is on the move from Minnesota. The only questions remaining are: Where? And for how much?
As Jeremy outlined earlier this week, if the Rockets want to get in on the sweepstakes, they’d likely have to part ways with a package centered around Eric Gordon, P.J. Tucker, and a first-round pick.
While that package probably doesn’t sound too attractive to Timberwolves fans’, as the returning players don’t fit the young core’s timeline, one needs to keep in mind that it is Timberwolves coach Tom Thibodeau doing the negotiating, and he’s generally more worried about winning a game this week than a championship in five years.
