......There's been a big hatred between Kevin Garnett and Taylor for a long time and the fans are on Garnett's side.

I'm not.
Garnett didn't complain when Taylor opened his wallet and gave him the NBA's top contract at the time.

While I wouldn't be surprised if that happened, cause I can only imagine Jimmy coming in and literally trying like it were the playoffs while everyone else is just confused and awkward. haha But that story seems like something that gets thrown out on twitter/in discussions when **** like this happens and no really backing to it. haha

Yeah, I'm thinking he was like the super-intense guy in a pickup game who's going just a little too hard and making everyone else in the game kind of uncomfortable.

What's funny is that Butler is too stupid to realize that going out and acting like this is the best thing he can do to stay stuck in Minnesota for the whole year. What team is going to want to bring on a guy that acts like a 2 year old and is a total cancer to your team?

All you can do is hope for the worst for someone like this.

Maybe. I do agree with Jimmy about one thing, none of our "best" players seem to want to embody the Alpha role. They all showed signs of improvement on D last year, although it was hard to be much worse. When Jimmy wasn't on the floor they looked lost for stretches in games because it seemed like someone was waiting for somebody else to take over.

I will say, KAT started playing like a man on a mission after he got called out by Joel Embiid last year. I hope Jimmy literally saying that they can't win with KAT and not Jimmy, will light a fire under his ass.
I hope someone lights a fire under Wiggins' ass. He looks bad out there and doesn't seem to care.

He's definitely a top 20 player in the league right now..

Agreed. I'd put him somewhere between 15 and 20. I think he could be the second or third best player on a championship team. But he seems to think of himself a little more highly than that, and there's the problem. Any franchise that builds around him as the centerpiece has a ceiling of maybe a conference semifinals appearance.
