Enter Butler, the disgruntled gamer who wanted nothing more than to leave the Timberwolves. The four-time NBA All-Star began playing in Minnesota in 2017 when Towns and Wiggins were in their prime. The former Bulls player was dissatisfied with his role and asked for an off-season trade. Butler was traded to the 76ers 10 games in the 2018 season.
Following his controversial trade request, Butler embarked on an embarrassing tirade against then-teammates Wiggins and Towns. According to Yahoo Sports, Butler shouted across the field, “They’re not – and they’re soft.” He persisted and went on, “He can’t do anything about me!”
After the accused insults, Butler sat down with ESPN’s Rachel Nichols and told her, “This is raw, me at my finest, me at my finest.” but he doesn’t think they play as hard as he does.
Both players took it all and when Butler’s deal became official Towns told ESPN, “He’s a hell of a good player. I don’t know how many Jimmy Butlers there are in the world so I think he is missing. “Wiggins commented,” I learned a lot from him. We made the playoffs, something we haven’t done in a long time. I think it was positive either way. ”
Why is Wiggins lighting things up again?
