“I want to play with guys that care, man, and play hard and want to do well for this organization and win games,” Butler said. “Who cares who’s shining?”

Robinson, a 32-year-old guard who hasn’t played since 2015, rushed to offer his help to the Bulls, with whom he played 82 games from 2012-2013.

However, he is not just committed to an NBA return to Chicago.

Earlier this week, LeBron James voiced the Cleveland Cavaliers’ desperate need for a playmaker.

“We need a [expletive] playmaker,” James told ESPN’s Dave McMenamin Monday, after the Cavs’ fifth loss in seven games. “I’m not saying you can just go find one, like you can go outside and see trees. I didn’t say that.”

The Cavs lost to the New Orleans Pelicans 124-122 on Monday, and then to the Sacramento Kings 116-112 on Wednesday.

James, a 3-time NBA Finals MVP and four-time NBA MVP, is playing a league-high 37.5 minutes per game. He later clarified his comments on Twitter.

James has expressed his concerns to Cavs general manager David Griffin. J.R. Smith is sidelined with a thumb injury.

“Do I gota put my number on ig @kingjames?? Cause I will until you call me lol #holdat,” Robinson wrote on Instagram, before deleting the post.

The three-time Slam Dunk champ consistently posts videos on Instagram showing off his remaining skills.

Robinson also posted the following picture on Instagram to offer his services to the Bulls.

Robinson also played with the New York Knicks, Boston Celtics, Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers in his 11 seasons in the NBA.
