Dwyane Wade and Jimmy Butler may have only played together for one season with the Chicago Bulls, but now that they are not teammates anymore, the 12-time All-Star and three-time champion made it known that he will play him very physical once they meet next season.
Wade replied to a tweet made about him and Butler having a highly anticipated matchup when the Bulls and Minnesota Timberwolves face off. He replied to it and said he doesn't mind using all his six fouls in the first six minutes of the game, if that would mean he won't give him an easy time playing against him.
I get 6 fouls and I'm not afraid to use them in the first 6 mins! https://t.co/8Y3DHDeeEf

It's no secret that Butler was a big reason why he decided to play for his hometown team last summer, as the two have a good friendship, and are also both products of Marquette. This past season, they proved that they can co-exist on the court well, where they became the Bulls' one-two punch, and led their team all the way to the playoffs despite the slow start they had to their year.
Butler was part of the draft night trade that landed him in Minneapolis in exchange for Kris Dunn, Zach LaVine and the rights to seventh overall pick Lauri Markkanen. They may be good friends off the court, but now that they are on opposing teams, it can be expected that both of them will continue being fiery competitors, and will play at their best against each other on the floor.
