    The Chicago Bulls haven't been to the draft lottery since 2008, when they selected Derrick Rose No. 1 overall. After missing the playoffs for the first time in his five-year career, Jimmy Butler will sit in New York City representing the Bulls at the NBA draft lottery. But before he finds out where the Bulls will pick in the 2016 draft, the 26-year-old star guard reflects on the struggles of the season, the direction of the Bulls franchise and whether he can make the Olympic team this offseason.

    Its tough keeping your mouth shut as a young player when you sense something is horribly wrong.

    Jimmy sensed this as the Bulls transitioned away from the winning ways of Thibs, which he was a big part of and grew up NBA wise in, to the mediocrity of Hoiball.

    He's realizing that there is little to be gaining by vocal outrage, especially against management / ownership. You'll get smeared by these cats.

    Keep getting 'dem checks.
