The Minnesota Timberwolves and All-Star guard Jimmy Butler have been on a collision course all summer. Butler reportedly turned down a $110 million extension offered by the ‘Wolves in mid-July amid reports he was dissatisfied with the attitudinal approach of teammates, including fellow All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns. Per multiple reports, Butler and Timberwolves execs, including Head Coach/President of Basketball Operations Tom Thibodeau, are set to meet this week.
Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic broke the news.
Jimmy Butler will meet with Tom Thibodeau and Scott Layden on Monday to "have honest conversations about the All-Star's future with the team," sources tell @TheAthleticMIN.
