Jimmy Butler is fed up with the Minnesota Timberwolves after one season. Shams Charania and Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic are reporting that Butler is asking for a trade and he gave the Timberwolves a shortlist of teams he is willing to sign an extension with.
The New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets were long thought to be possibilities to sign Butler due to the fact that both teams will have the cap space to sign a max free agent next offseason. But now, each team is linked to Butler for more concrete reasons.
