A couple of days after it appeared there was at least some momentum in trade talks with teams around the league, with Miami emerging as a particularly insistent and intriguing suitor, reports today indicate that the Jimmy Butler trade saga is once again confused and confusing rival executives throughout the league.
Reports suggest that Tom Thibodeau still hasn’t given up in bringing Butler back into the fold, though Butler himself remains adamant about getting out. Jon Krawczynski in The Athletic among others report that prior to yesterday’s media day press conference, Thibs met yet again with Butler to try to persuade him to consider rejoining the team.
