Jimmy Butler says he won’t change his approach on the court, despite the Heat‘s inability to strike a trade for Damian Lillard. Now that the dust has settled following the blockbuster trade that sent Lillard from the Trail Blazers to the Bucks, Butler has weighed in with a pointed response about the saga.
Butler made it known during an interview with NBA TV’s Taylor Rooks on Monday that he’s “happy for Dame to be somewhere he’s wanted.” But he qualified that comment with a supremely confident quip aimed at Lillard, Bucks star power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo and Milwaukee’s first-year head coach, Adrian Griffin.
“I’m still gonna be me. I’m gonna go beat Dame, Giannis and Adrian Griffin on our way to a title,” Butler told NBA TV.
