NBA Trade Rumors: Jimmy Butler to Be Sent to Sacramento Kings After Criticizing His Coach

The Chicago Bulls is once again in the center of attention after a league source shared that there is a problem going on in the team's locker room. Though they are steadily pacing this season with some minor issues and ranking 4th in the Eastern Conference, they are still not guaranteed a long term success as reports state that they are slowly becoming a dysfunctional team.  Sportingnews shared an info detailing that;

"I think that team has big-time problems in the locker room. There is no camaraderie. There's no chemistry. I wouldn't say it is fighting all the time or hatred or whatever. It's just, you stay in your corner, and I will stay in mine. I don't think there is any one trade or anything they can make that fixes that."

The said report was of emphasized especially after point guard Jimmy Butler criticized their head coach Fred Hoiberg. It can be remembered that Butler stated that;

"I also believe we probably have to be coached a lot harder at times. I'm sorry. I know that Fred's a laid-back guy, and I really respect him for that, but when guys aren't doing what they're supposed to do, you got to get on guys, myself included. You got to do what you're supposed to do when you're out there playing basketball."

Now with frustrations building in and words getting slightly out of control, an important question now remains, of whether Jimmy Butler would ask for a trade in the coming seasons of the NBA. And what would be the action plan of Hoiberg in order to address the concerns raised by one of his players. And could the rumor of Sacramento Kings trading DeMarcus Cousins for Jimmy Butler be actualized after this incident, especially when it was reported via inquisitr that "Kings might ask for Jimmy Butler" in exchange for their star center player, DeMarcus Cousins.
