Jimmy Butler request to sit during All-Star Game

There was one DNP during the NBA All-Star game and it was Minnesota Timberwolves forward, Jimmy Butter.  He requested that Coach Mike D'Antoni not play him because he needed rest.  While everyone else was having fun for once in a long time, Butler asks for rest.  Yo Butler, how about you ask your head coach, Tom Thibodeau for reduced minute?  You average a league high 37 minutes per game.  Your old Chicago Bulls teammates Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, and Luol Deng all had their career cut short because Thibs played them almost the entire game.  You, Wiggins, and Towns will all feel it come playoffs.  Too exhausted to compete because Thibs runs you guys down like regular season was a playoff series.  Go tell your actual head coach to reduce your minutes and give you rest.
