The allegedly demanded trade of Jimmy Butler from Minnesota is making big waves. Andrew Wiggins’ brother Nick caused a sensation with a tweet, after which TV expert Stephen Jackson criticized the Wiggins brothers. Wiggins himself reacted and called Jackson a bum.
Nick Wiggins posted under the report of Shams Charania (The Athletic) that Butler had demanded a trade, a “Hallelujah”, further fueling rumors that disagreements between Butler and Wiggins had arisen during the season.
TV expert and former NBA champion Stephen Jackson switched to Instagram and accused Wiggins of not working hard enough, a criticism Butler made several times about the former No.1 pick. “You have no heart, that’s why Cleveland traded you back then,” Captain Jack shot at Wiggins.
As a result, Wiggins also spoke out in the social media. “These old guys are full of it. Like he’s something special, that bum. I play everywhere with the same stake.”
Jackson then rowed back a bit and wished the Canadian that he would play a good season. “I hope that somewhere he will find a little heart and passion for the game. I really wish him the best.”
