In an expansive interview with Glen Taylor on Tuesday, the Timberwolves owner said he has reached an understanding with four-time All-Star Jimmy Butler and will continue trying to trade him.
But Taylor said that Butler has told him he will play to his full ability, as he did last year when he was healthy, and go all out until that trade is made.
There is no doubt that Taylor is in a tough position with Butler, who doesn’t want to play for the Timberwolves, and realizes that he has no choice but trading him, unless, for some reason, the outstanding guard changes his mind.
