Thibs didn't have anything to do with this. Butler showed up and did his thing.

You are right it probably didn't "help" Butler if his goal is to get the trade done and get out of town. Just reinforced to Thibs how much he really does need him. Butler has to sit out or really be a PIA if he wants the trade. He is supposed to be at practice today.

Wait a minute, wait a minute ... hold on. He had an in-person interview after all this with BSPN? Why was Rachel Nichols physically in Minnesota that fast? Yeah, I'm calling shenanigans on all this.

Okogie started tonight for Jimmy Butler. Three games in four nights got Butler the night off.

NBA league pass is free this opening week for you that have Dish Network.

He’s on channel 5033.

He's in a weird situation but seems to be making the best of it. With Wiggins hurt, he'll get more playtime so that's good.

Last night he was up against the monster that is Kawhii Leonard. That dude is eating dudes alive so far this season. In the snippets I saw, Okogie held his own.

Too bad the team "leader" is as gutless as Jimmy Butler says he is ...
