Jimmy Butler’s days with Minnesota Timberwolves may be limited and it appears the team’s fans are pretending like they are ready for it. When introduced tonight, Butler was the victim of a series of loud boos:

Boo all you want, Jimmy Butler does not strike me as the type of guy that will care. Why do I think that? He has previously said: “Boo me.”
[UPDATE]: They then decided to chant “M.V.P” during his free throw attempts:
T-Wolves fans went from booing Jimmy Butler to chanting MVP for him in the same game ?
