熱火總管Riley罵灰狼總管Thibodeau是個「motherfucker」

2018-10-12

Two places the word "motherf--ker" has been uttered recently: the White Houseand trade talks between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Miami Heat.

ESPN's Jorge Sedano shared a story of how the Heat's near-trade for Jimmy Butler fell apart, with Pat Riley dropping the big MF on Tom Thibodeau (transcript via Deadspin):

"There’s been a couple of different incarnations of this deal. The first one, the Heat didn’t want to take back Gorgui Dieng. Then, the next incarnationof the deal was ‘OK forget it, let’s just do it straight up, just for Jimmyon your end.’ They finally relented on Josh Richardson, they were giving themJosh Richardson, then Dion Waiters was going to be the cap filler, and thenaprotected first-round pick. The medicals were exchanged, which generally inthe NBA means this is a done deal. And then, Thibs called back and wanted morepicks. And Pat Riley literally—I was told—called him a motherbleeper and hung up the phone."

The Heat and Timberwolves have been negotiating for weeks following Butler'strade request. Miami is considered the only serious suitor at this time, butit appears talks have gone dormant as the regular season draws closer.
