Jimmy Butler addressed the media after the Chicago Sun-Times released a story that Butler was not a fan of Rose’s worth ethic.
Butler: “I love having Derrick as a teammate. Just let us play together. I think we can be one of the best, if not best, backcourts in NBA.”

“I don’t understand why everybody wants to find a problem with me and Derrick. Let us be the fierce, (expletive) competitors we are. I love having Derrick as a teammate. Just let us play together. I think we can be one of the best, if not best, backcourts in NBA. I’ve said it multiple times: I don’t care whose team it is. My job is just to help win. When we win, everybody looks great.” – Jimmy Butler
Jimmy Butler continued his rant towards the media for creating false rumors against him and Derrick Rose. He also said he has been texting Rose on a daily basis about Hoiberg’s new offense.
