On Saturday afternoon, Shams Charania, of The Athletic, reported that Jimmy Butler was beginning to seriously contemplate his future with the Minnesota Timberwolves. At the same time, Jon Krawczynski, also of The Athletic, reported that Jimmy Butler would be having a sitdown meeting with Tom Thibodeau to discuss that future.
This isn’t exactly new information. There have been rumors about discontent in Minnesota for a long-time. Still, this latest information seems to be the most tangible threat to breakup the current Timberwolves core.
Another important bit of information, Karl-Anthony Towns has yet to sign his rookie extension.
