The off-season continues to be a busy one in the National Basketball Association, as the Chicago Bulls’ Jimmy Butler was recently shipped to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Kris Dunn, Zach LaVine and the No. 7 pick Lauri Markkanen.

Although the 27-year-old swingman has been at the center of trade talks in recent weeks, his personal trainer, Travelle Gaines, couldn’t help but lambast the Bulls organization, particularly General Manager Gar Forman.
“0-82.worst culture in the league.I met drug dealers with better morals then their GM,” he tweeted, shortly after the deal was announced.
“He is a liar and everyone knows,” he added.
Turmoil inside the Bulls’ front office has been reported in multiple instances in the past, but Gaines comparing Forman to drug dealers might just be the boldest one yet.
Butler, meanwhile, will reunite with his former coach Tom Thibodeau in Minnesota and form a “Big 3” alongside promising studs Karl Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins. Khristian Ibarrola /ra
