At his introductory press conference with the Timberwolves today, Jimmy Butler revealed his cell phone number – 773-899-6071 – and told his critics to call him directly.
I tried and got an error message, but Joon Lee of Bleacher Report got through:
Butler’s voicemail message:
Jimmy Butler. Sorry I couldn’t get to the phone, but leave your name and number, and I’ll hit you back. If you’ve got any beef, definitely leave a message.
Butler has to be a little crazy to make the journey he has, but, “If you’ve got any beef, definitely leave a message”? That almost had to be orchestrated as part of his press conference answer.
