They might not all have the same level of interest, but there are at least eight or nine teams that have called Minnesota about Butler.<\/b>
\nDespite Tom Thibodeau\u2019s best efforts, it appears the Minnesota Timberwolves are going to grant Jimmy Butler\u2019s trade request, and do so soon.
Thibodeau has balked at the idea of trading the star guard, but owner Glen Taylor has reportedly stepped in and made it clear Butler is to be dealt and dealt soon. Taylor doesn\u2019t want the drama to loom over everything the team does during training camp and his standpoint is understandable, but it will certainly make for some tension between he and Thibodeau \u2014 and bring Thibs\u2019 future with the team into question.
In any case, a deal getting done seems to be just a matter of time, but things are slow-moving as of this moment. That doesn\u2019t mean things can\u2019t change, as trade talks can always escalate quickly into an actual framework of a deal being put together, but according to ESPN\u2019s Adrian Wojnarowski, talks haven\u2019t yet become serious with any teams.<\/p>\n
