Butler says goodbye to Rose with touching Instagram post

With Derrick Rose officially a member of the New York Knicks, Chicago Bulls shooting guard Jimmy Butler took to Instagram Wednesday to wish his former backcourt-mate well with his new club.

In the post, Butler credits Rose for showing him the ropes as a rookie and being a supportive teammate throughout his Bulls tenure.

While Butler's post certainly feels heartfelt, it's not unrealistic to believe that the 6-foot-7 shooting guard was also attempting to put to rest the idea that the two were not fond of one another.
