As the Heat continues its pursuit of a trade for guard Jimmy Butler, Minnesota Timberwolves coach Tom Thibodeau said Monday that all teams are in play with a potential trade, not merely the three that were on Butler’s reported wish list (the Clippers, Nets and Knicks).
“We have to do what’s best for us,” he told Minneapolis media on Monday in his first public comments since Butler recently asked for a trade. “It may not be a team you feel like you wanted to go to.”
Butler is believed to have positive feelings the Heat organization, though ESPN reports the Clippers are his preferred destination.
