Paul George alongside Jimmy Butler in Timberwolves Feud

Everyone has thoughts of Jimmy Butler. The belligerent star of the Timberwolves set the Internet on fire Wednesday with his practice of peace filled with carpets. Former Wolves star Kevin Garnett spoke at length about the situation, and now the Thunder wing, and his friend Butler, Paul George, have expressed their support:

Here are the full comments, which seem to reflect most of what Butler said with Rachel Nichols:

Jimmy has a very valid point. I'm on Jimmy's side. This does not come from a place where he opposes to the organization. Jimmy is a guy who has been working all his career. To have him grind, scratch and claw to get to where he is. And then he sees the potential that he has around him, you know, he just wants the guys to match that. Because if the guys are qualified and have this "it" like [Karl-Anthony Towns] Like Andrew Wiggins, they have this "that" that a lot of guys do not have. Now they have to match what Jimmy brings to the table. I'm for what Jimmy is trying to do there. I've talked a little bit about Jimmy about it. This does not come from a bad place. Jimmy is not going against the organization. He wants the best for the organization, and he is trying to do everything possible to get this organization to go wherever it wants.

We are exhausted by all this, so the Wolves must be exhausted. Jimmy made them feel ashamed to publicly ask a trade to reduce their commercial value and, as KG commented, he might not have the courage to demand an exchange. According to Butler, he expressed his desire to bargain less than a week after the end of the season. If that's the case, Tom Thibodeau is the real culprit of this whole series. The perception of Thibodeau as a grizzled hobbit who lives to watch movies and develops strategies for X and O is in conflict with all the fireworks we've seen over the past week. He could easily have crushed them by swapping Jimmy in Miami.

Many think that owner Glen Taylor should simply fire Mr. Thibs, but we understand why this whole ordeal has ended in a stalemate. If Thibs went canning, the Wolves would still be on the hook for the rest of the $ 40 million deal that he signed in the spring of 2016. He did not even coach the second year of this transaction. he is comfortable to hold firm his desire to keep Jimmy, even though his presence is tearing the team apart.
