Chicago Bulls’ Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler Are Allegedly Feuding (Watch)

*There’s allegedly tension between Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler, a rising star for the Chicago Bulls this season. CBS Chicago explained what boiled up during game 6.

It looked strange when wing Jimmy Butler kept flashing to Rose’s side of the floor, calling for the ball, as the Bulls’ offense was drying up. Rose was all too happy to oblige instead of waving Butler off and taking charge, either resetting the called play or taking his man – often the undrafted Matthew Dellavedova – hard to the rim for at least a likely foul.

Sources describe a passive-aggressive reaction from Rose that was the culmination of tensions building in recent weeks with Butler’s emergence as a primary scorer. Butler is very aware that he won his bet on himself and is poised to reap the reward of a maximum contract from the Bulls, whether or not it takes an offer sheet from another club in restricted free agency this summer. Butler’s emergence was validated by the NBA’s Most Improved Player Award, and he’s now feeling every bit the star, with all that entails.

Rose and Butler will make up $36 million next season if the latter is signed to his max contract. Rumor has it coach Tom Thibodeau is being ousted is causing the tension between the superstar ballers.
