Jon Krawczynski reports in the Athletic that a meeting is scheduled between Jimmy Butler, Tom Thibodeau, and Scott Layden on Monday. According to the piece the meeting is:
to “haveu200bu200b honest conversations” about the All-Star’s future with the team, league sources told The Athletic.
On the one hand, if there is honesty, and everyone gains clarity, that’s a good thing. There are a lot of moving parts of this organization that desperately need to get on the same page.
On the other hand, this kind of meeting doesn’t take place if things are going well.
