Following Jimmy Butler’s trade to the Golden State Warriors, he was eager to put the drama surrounding his difficult departure from the Miami Heat behind him, as reported by Marc J. Spears of Andscape.
To set the tone with his new team, Butler made it clear that his primary focus was winning, emphasizing that achieving success on the court meant more to him than anything else.
“When I walked in, I was like, ‘Yo, look man, I’m only here to win,’” Butler said. “’I don’t care about nothing else. I don’t care about points. I don’t care about shots. I don’t care about none of that. I’m only here to win and I’ve always only been places to win. So, whatever y’all need me to do, y’all let me know.’”
Butler has played 14 seasons for 5 teams, including the Bulls. He has averaged 18.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.3 assists in 853 regular-season games.
He was selected to play in 6 All-Star games and has won 1 Most Improved Player award.
