Good read. Thanks for sharing.

"I'm confrontational. I feed off of confrontation. It makes me go. Not everybody's like that. [Bulls head coach Fred Hoiberg] is not that coach, and there's nothing wrong with that. There are different coaching styles and people are gonna say—which is what they did say—'It's gonna be Jimmy's team or it's gonna be Fred's team.' Two total opposite ends of the spectrum. They're either gonna try to win it now or they're gonna go young. And you see which way they went with it. Completely fine. Yo, it's y'all's business. It's y'all's organization. It's cool. And now I'm in Minnesota and couldn't be happier."

This article sure does seem to jive with some of the stuff that guys like Friedell and Smith were saying about Butler.

Did you read something negative? I think you would want a team full of guys like him.

I like him more after reading that. The guy works his ass off and wants to win. He demands that others care as much as he does. That's probably why he clashed with Rose. Didn't know that his advanced stats were that good either.

Sure is too bad that people who sucked at basketball and were terrible at their jobs didn't get along with Jimmy Butler.

Joakim Noah was pretty good at one point and he didn't care for him either.

Anyone who speaks out against management or supervisors should be whipped until they fall back in line. I agree with ltg.

Jimmy Butler seems like one of the biggest turds to ever walk the planet.

Agreed. People who think they are good at stuff that they are actually good at are the worst.

Most likeable guy in the NBA

How about simply not speaking out publicly against management while you're still an employee. Shouldn't be whipped but he should be traded. Glad to see the malcontent gone.

Butler was more productive than the executives and the head coach. Why do you love the executives? At work respect is earned, not given. Hoiberg hasn't earned it.
