DALLAS – At some point this season, whether it’s tomorrow, next month or not until the February trade deadline, the Wolves are going to have to play without Jimmy Butler.
That’s the decree from Wolves and Star Tribune owner Glen Taylor after Butler made his request for the Wolves to deal him almost a month ago.
In any deal the Wolves will likely receive a player or two who can help them, but on Saturday, they got a glimpse of how they look without Butler in the lineup in their 140-136 loss to the Mavericks at American Airlines Center.
