Jimmy Butler and Dwyane Wade said they have no problem with Rajon Rondo one day after he criticized the Chicago Bulls' "veterans" in an Instagram post.


Rondo made headlines Thursday when he defended the "young guys" on the Bulls while writing, "If anything is questionable, it's the leadership" in a lengthy post on his Instagram account.


"I don't have any problem with Rajon," Butler said after Friday morning's shootaround, which was delayed because of a team meeting. "He spoke his mind. I spoke my mind. Move on."


"Everyone gets opportunities to express themselves," Wade added. "That's how [Rondo] chose to express himself. ... I have no hard feelings."


Gar Forman said that the organization is "extremely disappointed" in players criticizing their teammates to the media and on social media.


"We have visited with the players who spoke out at length and dealt with it internally," said Forman, who did not take questions from reporters. "We've talked about it with the entire team."


Rondo was fined for the comments.

Rondo is taking the high road and paying for it. Sometimes in life you are right, but still get fined. The Bulls are only showing support for their top guns, to be expected. Butler ans Wade say they have no problem, because they know he was right.

Biggest questionmarks in entire organization are Paxson & Foreman. Bulls went from 50 win team to what is now the laughingstock of the league. Only took a year or two. Drama for the past few years only constant is Jimmy and them.

Jimmy's an all-star starter.
Paxson has had the final call on Teague, Snell, McDermott, Portis with 5 1st round picks involved.

God I still can't believe the Bulls put this roster together. Hoiberg is probably in the locker room in the fetal position

What was Rondo right about? The man has been a cancer on every team he's played on including the Celtics.

He was right about every single word and as the opposite of a Bulls can be has resurrected his career to me with those tremendous comments. I might even pick him up at least for a bench role on the cheap if I'm the Knicks next year or the Spurs this year.
