Jimmy Butler sent shock waves throughout the NBA when he demanded a trade from the Timberwolves before the start of the season. The Rockets and Heat, among others, quickly lined up and made bids for the four-time All-Star.
We’re now a few weeks into the season, but unfortunately Minnesota hasn’t bitten on any offers.
The Rockets reportedly offered the Wolves a package centered around four first-round draft picks for Butler. The Wolves countered by telling Houston that Eric Gordon needed to be included in any deal for Butler.
The Wolves continue to have a fairly high asking price for Butler, despite the fact that he’ll be entering unrestricted free agency next summer.
