All summer, there have been reports of tension building in the Minnesota Timberwolves locker room. That might boil over soon, with Tom Thibodeau, Jimmy Butler and his representation meeting just days before training camp, according to The Athletic’s Jon Krawczyski.
Butler is entering the final year of his contract and doesn’t seem happy with teammate Karl-Anthony Towns. If there is discord between Butler and his younger teammates, the Wolves might look to trade the veteran superstar before the deadline.
If that’s the case, the Philadelphia 76ers will naturally be in the conversation.
