B/R's Joon Lee provided a video featuring the voice message one would receive if they call the number Butler gave out:
During his six years with the Chicago Bulls, Butler was rarely on the receiving end of harsh criticism from the media. Former teammate Rajon Rondo used an Instagram post in January to call out Butler and Dwyane Wade for using the media to vent frustration instead of discussing it with the team.
The Bulls traded Butler and the No. 16 pick to the Timberwolves for Zach LaVine, Kris Dunn and the No. 7 overall pick during the 2017 NBA draft on June 22. The move reunites the three-time All-Star with head coach Tom Thibodeau, who was with the Bulls from 2010-15.
