We are the worst franchise in the NBA, and really aiming for that #1 spot in all sports.
We can't even keep the doors open when a player wants a trade. Pathetic. No media availability? Grow up. What about your fans? They have stuck through all the losing, the bad decisions. This is really so childish. I guess the greeting card business never prepared Glen for this type of pressure.

Don't give up hope.
Maybe Steve Ballmer will murder somebody this weekend or something...

Right? That's about what it would take at this point. I don't even know what to hope for. It seems like they want to be the worst, so I guess they are accomplishing their goals. Your point yesterday about the team needing a media strategy to counter Butler's bullshit was so spot on. So what do they do instead? Shut the doors and admit defeat. Pathetic.

Old news, but at least it's not fake news!

Sorry. I was holding out hope for too long. Cheering for problematic players, supporting problematic management, justifying a problematic owner for all these years.
This has really pushed me over the edge. You can't shut your doors and ignore the problem.

Well this may explain why there is no practice.
"Timberwolves All-Star Jimmy Butler called a players-only meeting today, airing his feelings toward situation and management, per league sources. Butler expressed to players he would compete with them, as signs pointing to him staying with the franchise into the regular season."

I guess I've been a Minnesota fan so long that I just cannot be too upset at this kind of stuff. This team keeps surprising me because every time I think they've reached the bottom they manage to dig deeper. At this point it's actually become pretty funny to me.

God that makes me even more upset. Someone needs to tell Jimmy no. Let KAT or Taj call a team meeting and maybe Jimmy can plead his case. Moreover, the team needs to have media availability to make that announcement. Not Shams Charania on his twitter feed.

Probably the worst news we could get. Just suspend this asshole, fire Thibs, and try to save some form of face.

Man, and here I thought it was Taylor pulling the plug on things so that he could fire Thibs and then regroup with an interim coach and GM. Nope. This is exactly what Thibs wants and why he's done nothing but enable Butler.
