Wizards should pursue Jimmy Butler before window closes

Last summer, the Chicago Bulls traded Jimmy Butler to the new version of the 2011-12 Chicago Bulls—and shockingly, he might not have a desire to spend the prime of his career playing for a team attempting to relive a failed past.

The Athletic’s Jon Krawczynski is reporting that Butler will meet with Minnesota Timberwolves’ brass on Monday to have “honest conversations about the All-Star’s future with the team.”

What does that mean, exactly? We can only speculate.

It’s safe to assume that Butler isn’t terribly excited about having to play with the exact players and a head coach—except now older, grumpier and worse than they were—that never truly competed for a championship.
