So Jimmy Butler is kind of dick?
Jimmy Butler made the all star game and then didn't play because he needed rest? What a dick? Why not just sit out and let someone take your roster spot? This feels like it should be talked about more.

Re: So Jimmy Butler is kind of dick?
Whether Butler really needed the rest... or was just hung over from partying... or just being lazy...
It's a bad look and Williams should be justifiably upset. If it's not important to Butler enough for him to take it seriously... don't accept it.

Heard he was sick but that could of been him trying to save face.

Regardless, he should have handed his place over to someone else, how late is it to back out?

He's the timberwolves problem now.
Re: So Jimmy Butler is kind of dick?
Doesn’t seem like that big a deal but I understand why a guy like Williams would be upset.
Re: So Jimmy Butler is kind of dick?
Why is Jimmy Butler a dick when his coach won't rest him so he took matters into his own hands.
Re: So Jimmy Butler is kind of dick?
He can't without facing a penalty from the league office. He has to be declared injured and on his team's injury list and order to do that.Kingcarl24 wrote:Jimmy Butler made the all star game and then didn't play because he needed rest? What a dick?

Re: So Jimmy Butler is kind of dick?
Why not say that he was sick then? Why tell everyone that he wanted to rest? That's the kicker for me.Y2K wrote:He can't without facing a penalty from the league office.

Re: So Jimmy Butler is kind of dick?
He would still have to get an official medical diagnosis. The league is very strict on this. Show up or be suspended for two games following the All-Star break.Kingcarl24 wrote:Why not say that he was sick then? Why tell everyone that he wanted to rest?

Seems silly they would crack down on that and just not playing because you're tired.Y2K wrote:He would still have to get an official medical diagnosis. The league is very strict on this.

There seems to be some confusion on this. How hard is it to get on an injury report? I know Butler jammed his fingers and ankle in Thursday's game.
Wouldn't saying that be better than the "I'm tired and my team, health and time is more important than all of these other guys who are also playing for a playoff berth"...?

During the broadcast the announcers said he wasn't feeling well. Who knows the truth to any of that though.Kingcarl24 wrote:Why not say that he was sick then?

And during the ASG, I don't really think we should be making a guy give much of a reason to sit.
