The Minnesota Timberwolves are aligning their focus on trading Jimmy Butler.

Butler requested a trade this week with the Los Angeles Clippers, New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets on his list.

The Wolves signed Karl-Anthony Towns to a five-year, $190 million supermax extension on Saturday.

There have been reports that Tom Thibodeau and Scott Layden had no interest in trading Butler, while Glen Taylor has been pushing for a fast resolution.
