Rockets still pursuing Jimmy Butler despite steep asking price

There’s been a lot of speculation hovering around the Jimmy Butler situation in recent days. He’s made it clear that he wants out of the organization and even provided the Wolves with a limited list of teams he’d like to be traded to, which included the Brooklyn Nets, the Los Angeles Clippers, and New York Knicks.

Minnesota attempted to play hardball with Butler by vowing (at least publicly) that he wasn’t officially on the market, and Butler responded by withholding himself from team activities this training camp.
