On the other side of the Timberwolves spectrum, Jimmy Butler is expected to be moved anytime now. head Coach and President of Basketball Operations Tom Thibodeau was expected to ignore the request of the all-star swingman to be traded, however, owner Glen Taylor has overruled that and told other GMs across the league to contact him directly to make a deal.
