Although the NBA offseason can seem long, it’s anything but boring. Between exciting trades, players throwing shade at one another and seemingly endless drama, there’s rarely a dull moment in the NBA even when the players aren’t taking the court.
That has been perfectly demonstrated these last few days as news of Minnesota Timberwolves star Jimmy Butler has taken the league by storm. Butler reportedly has requested a trade out of Minnesota, which was followed by social media jabs back and forth between Butler, Andrew Wiggins and Wiggins’ brother.
Then later, it was reported that the Wolves front office had shut down trade requests and would be doing what it took to hold onto Butler and aim to push into the playoffs with him this season.
