Butler wants out of Minny

That said, If Minny had Josh Richardson, Bam and a pick on the table and didn't take it because Thibs still thinks they can win him back they are idots. Even so, they don't deserve to be shown up by Butler. He's under contract and they have no obligation to trade him.

Agreed, keeping him around destroys the lockerroom and when you have Wiggins and Towns, whom Minny is going to mark as their cornerstones...Thibs is stupid. Taylor knew what a trade demand does to a franchise, even when first issued, Thibs publicly said no trade, Taylor says trade. That in itself is a major red flag. When Butler's 2 biggest problems are still in the lockerroom, it ain't going to resolve itself. Richardson, Bam and future pick, would probably have saved Thibs' job....but without much of an improvement on last year, he's gone at the end of the year.
