Shortly after the combined triad of Butler and Wade ended in the locker room, their teammates took to twitter to voice their opinions, leading to players like Jerian Grant and Isaiah Canaan to start sub-tweeting their incumbent floor-generals.
Tough loss, that hurt for sure. But I play hard TO WIN every second I’m out there, and grind everyday for everything I have.

I’ve played this game since I was 4yrs old. Basketball is in my blood and means way more to me than just a paycheck.

The ONLY way I know how to play, is to win.
— Jerian Grant (@JerianGrant) January 26, 2017
My point is I work hard, I play hard, and I play to win for our team.

And former backup point guard, current rider of the bench Isaiah Canaan added this to the matter.
Tough Loss!!! We Win & Lose Together #FreeSip
I’m sorry, are you actually trying to use this as leverage for more playing time? What is going on here? How is this team a real NBA squad and not just a collection of clueless, petty morons?
Wade’s most recent tweet sums up the current situation well.

Holy shit, how petty can you be? This team is acting like a bunch of children and it’s easily the most relevant the Bulls have been in a long time. I mean, they were freaking trending on Twitter after an 119-114 loss to the equally irrelevant Hawks.
And on top of all this, former Bulls point guard turned failed NFL star Nate Robinson has gone out of his way to inform Jimmy Butler and the Bulls via Instagram he is very available.
I mean, does this guy not have an agent or understand that NBA contracts are not facilitated via the comment section on Insta?
I guess you have to respect the hustle, and the Bulls could use his shooting I suppose…? And that right there is the main issue with these Bulls, they are so bad we can legitimately justify adding a past-his-prime scoring guard who hasn’t been in the league in almost two years.
This team is just the worst, but at least they have found a way to be relevant and entertaining this season.
