DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry spent many years together during their lengthy spell with the Toronto Raptors. Now that they're no longer teammates, it looks like Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler has been trying to drive a wedge between the relationship of these two best friends.

Butler recently took to Instagram to share a photo of himself and Lowry as he confessed to being part of the DeMar DeRozan haters club:

Butler said that he and Lowry are haters of DeRozan “the most” and the photo of the Heat pair only works to make this claim even more believable.

It sounds like this is all in good fun, though, and it doesn't feel like Butler wants to start ay beef with the Chicago Bulls star. It's just that Jimmy Buckets enjoys the occasional troll job.

For his part, Kyle Lowry has been up-and-down for the Heat so far this season. The six-time All-Star has shown flashes of brilliance playing alongside his new teammates, but there have been a couple of disappointing outings for him as well. In 11 games player for Miami thus far, Lowry is averaging 12.1 points on 40.4 percent from the floor, 5.1 rebounds, 7.3 assists, and 1.3 steals in 34.4 minutes per game.
