OUCH!
Not very nice things to say about Butler. Money and fame can change people. He still works hard, expects others to work hard, but it sounds like in doing so he does a pretty good job of alienating his teammates.

Some quotes that don't sound like the same guy that was playing here at MU.

“He didn’t want to play in Chicago, he doesn’t want to play in Minnesota,” the opposing GM said. “Does he actually even want to play? Or does he just have people kiss his ass and receive a big paycheck?

“Look, there is no doubt Jimmy is extremely talented. He can help you win games. He gets after it on defense. But he’s not proven to be a team player. It’s one thing to put up numbers. How about having your teammates’ back and being a leader? He doesn’t do those things. I doubt he ever will.
