Rajon Rondo Blasts Dwyane Wade & Jimmy Butler after Criticizing the Bulls

Rondo could be out of Chicago next month

One of the most surprising teams of the year, has been the Chicago Bulls. Following acquisitions of Dwyane Wade and Rajon Rondo, the team has endured a below .500 record this year.

Last night, Jimmy Butler and Dwyane ripped into the team for blowing a 10-point loss to the Atlanta Hawks, with just three minutes left. As Dwight Howard was making sure the ‘D’ was supplied throughout Chicago, Butler and Wade felt the team didn’t have heart or care whether or not the franchise was successful or not this season. The pair combined for 73 of their 114 points, saying they’re not sure if wins are important or not to the rest of their teammates.

Rondo has been in the dog house for recent weeks, following his criticism in the direction of the Bulls. His time on the court diminished to now becoming a role-player at the age of 30.

As Chicago secretly seeks a trade to get rid of their former summer stand-out player, he hit up social media to publicly address certain players brining internal issues from the locker room, to the public – praising Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. Take a look at the brief rant below, which also features a few shots at LeBron James for complaining about coaching and roster adjustments as well.

Butler echoing Wade’s sentiments

My vets would never go to the media. They would come to the team. My vets didn't pick and choose when they wanted to bring it. They brought it every time they stepped in the gym whether it was practice or a game. They didn't take days off. My vets didn't care about their numbers. My vets played for the team. When we lost, they wouldn't blame us. They took responsibility and got in the gym. They showed the young guys what it meant to work. Even in Boston when we had the best record in the league, if we lost a game, you could hear a pin drop on the bus. They showed us the seriousness of the game. My vets didn't have an influence on the coaching staff. They couldn't change the plan because it didn't work for them. I played under one of the greatest coaches, and he held everyone accountable. It takes 1-15 to win. When you isolate everyone, you can't win consistently. I may be a lot of things, but I'm not a bad teammate. My goal is to pass what I learned along. The young guys work. They show up. They don't deserve blame. If anything is questionable, it's the leadership.
