Jimmy Butler is a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves. The trade was completed last week on Draft Day. While a member of the Bulls, Butler was frequently a part of rumored trade talks and it finally happened. Timberwolves radio host Alan Horton revealed how Butler learned of the trade.
Imagine you’re in Paris on vacation and you’re playing spades. You and your partner (Carmelo Anthony) are beating D Wade and wife Gabby Union. Who cares about where you’re being traded to. Gotta finish this game out.
