Addressing recent reports of Jimmy Butler questioning his role within Brett Brown's offense, Brown stated that he didn't feel Butler's objections were raised in a disrespectful manner.
“I didn’t feel like any of that crossed the line. He’s vocal. He’s all in and he has opinions, but it’s instigated by me. None of this should surprise anybody. He’s got opinions. He wants to be heard. And he should be heard," said Brown.
Butler asked to be used more in isolations and in pick-and-roll situations, which are not a part of Brown's system on offense.
“You can’t always win on your own terms,” added Brown.
