Jimmy Butler Is Still ‘Coming To The BBQ’ After Instagram Back-And-Forth With Dwyane Wade

Dwyane Wade’s NBA future is very much up in the air. No, he won’t be playing for the Zhejiang Golden Bulls this year, but the 36-year-old 15-year veteran has taken the summer to relax and ponder his future. He’s also had plenty of time this summer to scroll through Instagram, keeping an eye on dudes hitting on his wife, Gabrielle Union.

Apparently one of those thirsty double-tappers was former Chicago Bulls teammate and good friend Jimmy Butler, who dropped a not-so- subtle, “WELL DAMN!!” on one of Union’s photos:

Wade responded in kind, with a “MINE!” before hitting his buddy up directly. “Put well damn in caps on my wife photo again and you’re gonna see what the good, the bad and the ugly is like,” Wade responded.

Butler settled their Instagram banter by taking note of Wade’s promise and mentioning he’d still roll through to the BBQ.

Butler and Wade were on the same page for their one-year tenure in Chicago (they may have been the only ones) and were simultaneously benched for lashing out at the team. Their early playoff exit led to the disbanding of the disgruntled squad, with Butler being sent to Minnesota and Wade ending up back with his buddy, LeBron James, in Cleveland.

After last year’s return to the Heat, Wade mentioned he “didn’t feel comfortable” playing anywhere other than Miami. He certainly seems destined at this point to finish his career there.
