Many have wondered why the public did not hear about his desire to leave the team until mid-September, but recent reports indicate the dysfunction was an ongoing issue and his unhappiness was expressed far earlier in the offseason. 很多人都觉得奇怪，为什麽大家直到九月中了，才开始听到他想要离开灰狼? 但是最近的 一些报导出来显示，这沟通不良已经有一段时间了，他在休赛季前段就已经表达出了他的 不爽。 As the organization prepares for its first preseason game on October 3, they still haven’t dealt Butler — which, if and when it happens, would be to his third franchise in three seasons. But as always, there’s more to this story and the request didn’t come out of nowhere. 随着10/3到来，灰狼准备要打他们第一场的热身赛，他们都还没交易走Butler--如果交易 成功的话，那就会是Butler这三年来的第三个球队。但是一如往常，这里面的故事很多， 吹密的要求也不是凭空出现。 According to Sam Amick, the disgruntled star met with Minnesota head coach Tom Thibodeau roughly a month before the original reports surfaced. Amick was told that this conversation was largely Butler telling his coach, who also serves as the Wolves’ president of basketball operations, that he wanted out (via The Athletic): 根据记者Sam Amick，不爽的Butler在被报喊吹密之前约一个月就已经跟总教练Thibodeau 见面谈过了。记者被告知说这对话内容主要都是Butler在跟总教练兼营运长Thibodeau说他 想离开灰狼。 “According to a source, the two men who spent four seasons together in Chicago had breakfast in Los Angeles shortly after Butler underwent a minor surgery on his right shooting hand in early August… Butler, who takes great pride in his willingness to be brutally honest even when the truth might hurt, believed he had made it clear that he wanted out. But Thibodeau, whose stubbornness is nothing short of legendary, swears he didn’t see it that way and continued hoping that the situation could be rectified.” 「根据消息来源，这两个人之前在公牛共事过四个球季，在八月初Butler在右手动了小手 术後，两个人在洛杉矶一起吃早餐...Butler对他的自己的意愿非常认真，事实虽然残酷但 是他还是很直白的跟Thibodeau表示他想要离开。但是Thibodeau也是有名的顽固，发誓说 他没查觉到Butler的意向，就是期待事情会自己变好。」 But the writing was on the wall and there were several signs that the relationship with Butler couldn’t be salvaged. By the end of the season, for example, the four-time All-Star reportedly took a separate plane home after Minnesota was eliminated from the postseason. 不过迹象之前就已经很明确，很多徵兆显示与Butler的关系是无法挽回的。举例来说，在 上个球季要结束之前，这四届全明星球员在灰狼从季後赛被刷掉之後就被报自己搭飞机回 家去。 He also refused to participate in the team’s mandatory exit interviews and medical exams, per The Athletic’s Jon Krawczynski. 据记者Jon Krawczynski，Butler也拒绝参加球队要求的季末面谈以及体检。 Many believe Butler put the team in an impossible situation where a deal is forced with limited time before the regular season begins. But the front office could have acted sooner, considering Butler had painted this exact picture much sooner than we were led to believe. 很多人认为Butler把球队放在一个不可能的状况，强迫球队在正规赛快要开始前把他交易 掉。但是，考虑到Butler很早就已经把状况挑明了，老早在大家以为之前，制服组很可以 早点就动作的了。 --
