I absolutely believed that rumor when I read it. Stop and think: Most, if not all, of the REALLY bad feuds between players have been women/gambling related. With the exception of Shaq, who will start a fight about touches and/or endorsements, who else cares about anything else?

Kat needs to just come out and say it. If she slept with jimmy that just shows she is a skank. No need to be upset for kat as better to find out now than later. Hell jimmy did kat a favor by sleeping with his girl.
2) I would still do the trade 100 times out of 100 times. I respect that Thibs tried to turn us away from that losing culture and he added a top 20 player in the NBA. It failed no doubt but I respect that he took the shot and there was noway to know that the trade would have went that bad.
3) Thibs will lose his job after this only if he can pull of a super improbable playoff run. Still respect him for trying to make the team better. He had a plan and went for it and it failed it happens.
4) Jimmy is a jackass in this situation, you could have told thibs so long ago about this (Thibs could of met earlier). For a person who had so much respect for Thibs he fucked him over, like really badly. That was a bitch move plan and simple
5) Jimmy is still a stud on the court and is is going to suck for him not being a wolf anymore.
6) It could be dangerous and this is where Glenn Taylor needs to step to the fucking plate and give Thibs the vote of confidence (even if he lies through his teeth). It is super dangerous for a person to have as much power as Thibs feeling like he has to make the playoffs to save his job. I think any of us in the situation would make a win now move. Glenn needs to show Thibs that he will keep his job and get young assets back in the trade (He can lie its fine). If we end up with Harris, Williams and Beverly Im going to be pissed.
7) Assuming we only trade to the three teams Jimmy mentioned. We need to get some young guys (Knox, Nilikina, Robinson, Alexander, Allen, Russell).
Kek, your point #6 makes no sense. We need to hope and pray that Glen has the balls to replace Thibs before he does anymore damage. A vote of confidence? That's crazy talk.

I don't think he is going to fire him. I just don't before the season starts. That means Glenn needs to make Thibs feel like he is not a dead man walking if they don't make the playoffs. The worst thing that could happen to this franchise is Thibs doing what Stan Van Gundy did last year and trade for Griffin on his way out the door and set the front office in such a hole.
Glenn needs to fire Thibs (I don't think he is going to do this at this time) or he needs to make Thibs feel like he can make a trade for the future and have the chance to keep his job.
Wiggins is now going after Butler and Stephen Jackson (said Wiggins has no heart) on instagram. Hopefully that lights the flame under Wiggins (doubt it but hope)
Wiggins brother tweeted earlier today Hallelujah when the news about Jimmy wanting to get traded.
Butler then on instagram was taking shots at Wiggins Brother.
I have sick twisted mind give me the "big 3" team photo on Monday at Media Day Im begging you.
Maybe the only good thing that might come out of this, it might finally light the fire under these young guys. Its them vs the world. People blame Kat and Wiggins (to a extent I did) and maybe just maybe this bonds the team together and they say fuck it and we get stud Wiggins and they surprise us this year.
Glen can veto any deal as an owner. If he wants to make Thibs and Layden go young (or look more toward the future) he can do that. I'd guess that with Butler's salary they are gonna get some type of rotation level player back that will help some pretty much no matter what they do.
On the other hand...Glen isn't getting younger. Maybe he will be on board with a win now move. I have no idea just speculating. Of course at some point you wonder if Glen is tired of all this stuff and decides to sell. I'd guess he would want to see what comes of this team for a few months at least first.
As long as we get rid of Thibs, we could get crap for Butler and its a huge win. I don't want to take on other team's garbage or older players (28 plus) unless they are on one year deals we can shed next season (and so letting Jimmy rot on our roster isn't the worst thing that could happen). I prefer draft picks over players. Guys that may be available that I like are Ntilikina from Knicks, RJH from Nets, Ingram or Kuzma from Lakers, Jaylen Brown from Celts. Miami has some guys that might be of interest like Josh Richardson. I'm intrigued but not sold on Whiteside.
