  • Jimmy Butler requests a trade with Tony Jones

    In this episode, I chat with Tony Jones about some NBA news. Jimmy Butler has requested a trade from the Minnesota Timberwolves? What teams make sense for him? Should the Nets, Knicks and Clippers -- his three preferred spots -- get involved? Where do the Timberwolves go from here? All that and more.
