The sharks are once again circling around the Minnesota Timberwolves, a franchise that has been NBA chum for most of its existence.
Once again, the Wolves are facing discontent from a star player, this time Jimmy Butler. Tom Thibodeau is in Los Angeles to meet with Butler and his agent (note that Butler forced Thibs out to L.A. when he theoretically has to be in Minnesota in less than a week for training camp) to discuss his future in Minnesota.
Butler, who will be a free agent next summer, is among the unhappy people in the organization, a list that appears quite long.
