ButlerGate: Day 158 (or, if you believe Tom Thibodeau, Day 9*).
Welcome back to our live coverage of the Jimmy Butler/Minnesota Timberwolves trade saga. Similar to the always accurate and never delusional Chris Sheridan, all of us have heard “incredible stuff” about the Butler situation, but how much of it is actually the truth and how much of is it click-seeking nonsense? That’s up for you to decide.
Anyway, as the title of this post suggests, we are currently enduring day 9* of this chaotic saga, meaning it’s been 9* days since Jimmy Butler sat down with his beloved coach Tom Thibodeau in Los Angeles and demanded a trade.
