Jimmy Butler was traded from the Chicago Bulls to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a steal of a trade on Thursday. His trainer, Travelle Gaines, was not happy about it, to say the least.
Jimmy Butler’s trainer tweets how he really feels about the Bulls after trade to Wolves
He said he had met drug dealers with better morals than Bulls GM Gar Forman.
Gaines sent out a tweet expressing his displeasure with Gar Forman, the Bulls’ GM. He’s also looking for a realtor in Minneapolis.
Butler sidestepped a question about Gaines’ tweet when asked.
“That is his choice, his words,” Butler said, via K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune. “Of course I know about it. I didn’t have too much to say about it to him. I just told him, ‘Hey, you did that. You deal with the consequences if there are any.’ But I don’t think there will be.”
The Bulls traded Butler and the No. 16 pick in Thursday’s NBA draft for Zach LaVine, Kris Dunn, and the No. 7 pick.
The trade reuintes Butler with his former coach, Tom Thibodeau in Minnesota. They’ve also got a nice trio set up between him, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Andrew Wiggins.
Forman and Paxson have wanted to move on from what Thibodeau built in Chicago, and trading Butler was the final piece in doing so.
Hopefully Gaines can find his realtor and get comfy in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.
