The NBA offseason carousel keeps on spinning.
Jimmy Butler, All-Star guard for the Minnesota Timberwolves, approached Minnesota management today and asked for a trade to the LA Clippers, Brooklyn Nets, or New York Knicks. Butler is entering the fourth year of a 5-year, $92 million contract originally signed in the summer of 2015. He is widely expected to opt out of the final season (2019-20) and become a free agent after this year.
Butler was traded to the Timberwolves last offseason and led the team to its first playoff appearance in 14 years.
