"I mean, when you play for an organization, you put so much into it," Butler said. "You're always gonna follow that team and that organization and wish them well. You understand the business side. You know, I'm mature enough to understand the business side, so I understand what had to be done, but at the same time I'll follow the careers of Andray, Nick, Gilbert, some of the young guys like JaVale, and just continue to wish them success. You know, we went through a lot together. Whether it was good or bad, we went through a lot, so we'll always have ties to the franchise."
