The Process is over and the Timberwolves Hit Reset: Instant Reaction to the Jimmy Butler Trade

Despite being less than a month old, the 2018-19 NBA season has not been short of drama. We’ve had breakout stars, surprise teams, sensational, even tear-jerking individual performances, and a punch-up between two of league’s highest-profile teams. Now, just when it appeared that the dust had settled after frantic opening few weeks, the basketball world has been turned upside down once again, with All-Star Jimmy Butler being traded by the Minnesota Timberwolves to the Philadelphia 76ers.

Philadelphia 76ers: 2018 Season Preview

Are International Players On the Verge of Taking Over the NBA?

Who is the best player in the NBA under the age of 25? Like all questions based on opinion, the answer will vary depending on who you ask. Nevertheless, there will be a few names which are mentioned frequently. For fans who love watching jaw-dropping dunks from players with superhuman athleticism, they would lean towards Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant’s dominance with the Los Angeles Lakers ended abruptly. The Garnett-Pierce-Allen trio in Boston yielded just a single ring.
