The week has been interesting for the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the drama surrounding the team seems to be wreaking havoc in the center of stars, Karl Anthony-Towns.

On Friday, the day the star player Jimmy Butler had given the arbitrary team as a deadline, he came and went with Butler, still with Minnesota. He did not play in the preparatory final on Friday night. But the drama surrounding Butler continues to affect other players.

After a 143-121 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, Towns could not hide his frustration.

"We no longer have time to be here to say," Ah, that's good; it's the pre-season, "Towns told reporters on the spot.

"This momentum we are currently riding, this wave we are riding on, is not good, it is not good at all."

When Towns was asked why the team, which finished 1-4 in pre-season, struggled to organize full games, he replied, "I really do not know. you discover it, let me know. "

He added that in the NBA, all teams are talented enough to say: "We get beaten … but we can not be embarrassed, it's just unacceptable."

The loss comes just days after the Butler saga has grown.

Butler – who is looking for an exchange after only one year with the Timberwolves – became the focus of attention Wednesday during his first training of the season.

By ESPN, Butler exchanged words with Towns (among other things).

Towns, the 22-year-old Timberwolves who ranked first overall in 2015, and Butler were not exactly in the eye during Butler's heated campaign with the team.

Butler came to the Timberwolves for the last off-season in a night exchange in exchange for Kris Dunn, Zach LaVine and draft pick Lauri Markkanen. Although missing some time because of an injury, Butler found his former coach with the Chicago Bulls, Tom Thibodeau, and helped the Timberwolves return to the playoffs for the first time since 2004.

Cities, for their part, go nowhere; he just accepted a super-max extension with Minnesota last month.

The regular season of the NBA starts Tuesday night.
