Nets in play for Timberwolves star Jimmy Butler
Disgruntled star lists Brooklyn as potential trade destination
Nets general manager Sean Marks has been adamant that the Nets are sticking to the blueprint for their massive rebuilding project in Downtown Brooklyn, taking it step-by-step and brick-by-brick on the path to creating a winning program.
But disgruntled Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard Jimmy Butler may have accelerated that plan.
Though the Nets’ architect has done a brilliant job of clearing enough cap space to sign not one, but potentially two max-contract free agents in the summer of 2019, Butler’s insistence that he wants out of Minnesota may force Marks’ hand.
