The report from Adrian Wojnarowski points out that ordinarily this is part of the strategy for a team that doesn't have much leverage in trade talks - and that team officials eventually ask what the inquiring club might be willing to offer - but in this case that hasn't been happening.
A number of teams have emerged as potential suitors for Minnesota Timberwolves swingman Jimmy Butler, including a few that may make a deal without assurances Butler would sign a long-term deal. The idea of missing the postseason in the aftermath of a trade that leaves the Timberwolves devoid of a short-term, comparable talent to Butler, a four-time All-NBA forward, is fully unappealing to Thibodeau.
Nevertheless, Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor plans to be heavily involved in the decision-making process with president of basketball operations Tom Thibodeau and GM Scott Layden, league sources said.
It's also worth noting that Butler didn't include the Lakers on his shortlist of preferred trade destinations, which now include the New York Knicks, the Brooklyn Nets, and the Los Angeles Clippers.

First Kawhi and now Jimmy Butler have been linked with rumors that they don't want to play for Lebron.
Taylor has overseen high-profile Minnesota stars getting traded in the past, including Kevin Garnett and Kevin Love. Taylor reportedly told those attending the recent NBA Board of Governors meeting that Butler is, in fact, available.
Given the chaotic nature of the situation, Butler sought and has been granted permission not to appear at the team's media day on Monday, when every player on.
Butler has two years remaining on the five-year, $92 million deal he signed with the Bulls in 2015.
