Jimmy Butler's beef jerk explained

"You have to take the twisted with straight lines" is a phrase that Jimmy Butler, the Minnesota star Timberwolves, has apparently offered repeatedly, without context, when our own Clay Skipper introduced it in February. August Wilson & # 39; s fences-To say "take the lead with the misadventures that life throws at you."

Butler has a lot of things wrong at the moment. On Wednesday afternoon, reports revealed that Butler, who had powered the Timberwolves for the first time in 14 years last year, had requested an exchange. The NBA's commercial demands crop up every single season, but in the next few hours, two of Butler's teammates, Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins, found several ways to commit the ultimate. sin being too much online – everything before Stephen Jackson is involved. You never want Stephen Jackson to involve you.

Here are the seven steps of this series:

NBA Twitter explodes after a bunch of reporters wrote that Butler wants to get out of Minnesota. He is the last to engage in pre-free agency maneuvers: to one year of his contract, he told Timberwolves head coach, Tom Thibodeau, that he would not renegotiate with the team next summer. The favorite destinations of Butler are the Los Angeles Clippers and the New York Knicks, which are a real phrase and not a joke.

Andrew Wiggins' brother, Nick Wiggins, is delighted to learn that Butler wants to leave Minnesota. Andrew Wiggins is generally considered a soft-spoken, non-controversial athlete (aside from his mid-range game), which makes Nick famous on behalf of his brother.

One of the 15 best players in the NBA is trying to leave his team a month before the start of the regular season, which could have huge implications for the non-Warriors NBA ecosystem. Of course, social media upsets the mind and immediately begins with a conspiracy theory that Butler might have been involved in Towns' ex-girlfriend. Beyond some research on Towns account on Instagram, there is absolutely no evidence that this is true. But cities, which East rumors not to get along with Butler so well for non-ex-girlfriend reasons, responds as follows:

Three emojis crying! A strong denial, indeed.

Jimmy Butler travels to Instagram and submits an excerpt of 10 seconds of his work – a daily requirement of the NBA off season – which ends with "Hallelujah, keeps the same energy," a reference to Nick Wiggins' tweet. Nick removes his tweet and therefore does not keep the same energy.

Stephen Jackson, 40, is a retired swing player and famous weed enthusiast, but his impeccable qualities as a person you do not want to spoil place him in an elite group including Charles Oakley, Dennis Rodman and a handful of other old players. For whatever reason, Jackson goes on the GI and gives unscrupulous advice to Andrew and Nick Wiggins, who also end up "keeping the same energy". Engaging with Jackson is a fool's race, but with family pride on the line, the otherwise friendly Andrew connects with an IG story of his own …

Jackson does not take Andrew's reply amiably and emits one of his own that begins literally with the fact that he smokes smoke next to the legend: "Have a good year. It's not the smoke you do not have.[[[[sic].God protects you. Someone @ Lil one for me. "It's unclear if Jackson does not know @ anyone on Instagram (again, he's 40), or if it's a power shot." No matter, Thursday morning, Jackson posted Again, this is time to announce that the other retiree and someone you do not want to mess with Jerry Stackhouse have persuaded him to calm down.

Lauri Markkanen was the seventh overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, acquired by the Chicago Bulls as part of the deal that sent Butler to Minnesota. He decides that this particular Thursday is ideal for a #TBT photo of his day outfit.

Keep the same energy, Mr. Markkanen. You too, reader. Always keep that same energy.
