The Minnesota Timberwolves have wrapped up their most successful season in quite some time with their first playoff appearance in 1_ years. Much of this push significant push forward came from the major offseason splash trade for All-Star forward Jimmy Butler during last year's draft.

However, there appear some internal issues arising over the last few weeks involving some of their core group players. The latest chatter deals with Butler reportedly not too fond of playing alongside Andrew Wiggins, according to Sean Deveney of Sporting News.

Sources familiar with the situation told Sporting News that Butler is uncertain about playing with Wiggins — Butler had problems last season with Wiggins, his work ethic and his approach on the defensive end of the floor. Thibodeau has had similar problems with Wiggins in the past, too, and he had some hope that bringing a tough-minded veteran like Butler into the locker room would spur Wiggins to improve. It didn’t.

This adds to what could be a brewing situation in Minnesota as it was previously reported that Wiggins was unhappy with his role in the offense that saw him become the third scoring option behind Butler and All-Star center Karl-Anthony Towns. This could be part of the reasoning why Butler has some issue with the former first overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft.

What makes matters more interesting is that it could factor into the contract situation as he's set to enter the fourth year of his five-year, $92.3 million deal that has a $19.8 million player option for the 2018-19 season. Butler is eligible to ink a long-term extension this summer, but he will likely wait until next offseason where he would be in line to agree to a more lucrative deal. This could open the door for the possibility of him leaving elsewhere in free agency.

All of this chatter could see the Timberwolves shake things up by putting Wiggins on the trade market to assess the type of interest that other teams have in him. He is a proven scorer that could likely excel with that increased responsibility with another franchise, which he may be interested in. Minnesota did take a leap forward this past season, but there is another necessary step that they must take in order to be considered title contenders and a roster change could a part of that solution.
