– Is it his fault that Thibs turned out to be more of a divider than a uniter? No.īut, instead of being the teacher and the leader that he propped himself up to be, he’s become the most divisive member of the entire locker room. – Is it his fault that KAT and Wiggins are soft? No. – Was the job he was tasked with easy? No. Sure, he came in saying all of the right things but it was all lies. What we ended up getting was someone who had no interest in a project like that. He was supposed to add that leadership quality to a locker room that was tight-knit, but didn’t know how to win in the NBA. He was a guy who we believed could help mold Wiggins and Towns into the NBA Superstars they were destined to be. But, Jimmy Butler was a top-10 to 15 talent that was in his prime. Wiggins and LaVine were jumping out of the gym and KAT looked like the future of the entire NBA. When we made the trade for Jimmy, we gave up a future that fans were already slobbering over. They had different skill sets but both were phenomenal talents. Sure, we could’ve had Ray Allen had we not made that draft day swap, but at the time we were trading one promising draftee for another. This Butler fuck-job is so much worse than the Marbury one of our past. It started with the Marbury departure, which killed a future that should have included multiple deep playoff runs and repeated opportunities at an NBA Title. The team that included Stephon Marbury and Kevin Garnett cemented my infatuation and ever since Marbury’s rookie season, when he finished 2nd behind Allen Iverson for Rookie of the Year, This affair has done nothing but break my heart repeatedly. As I grew up, my love affair was obvious. I was 7 months old when they opened their first season vs the Super Sonics in November of that year. I was born the same year that the Wolves were (1989). And, every time his “team” leaks something to these starving reporters or does interviews with ESPN, the fucking gets a little bit deeper and hurts that much more. Jimmy wants honesty? He can find that right here.
