Rift? What rift?
Reports have surfaced all over the place concerning a disconnect between the Bulls' two biggest stars, Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler, but there has yet to be any public evidence to prove it.
Butler has never acknowledged that there has been any issues with playing alongside Rose.

As for the Rose, who made his preseason debut in the 103-102 win over the Mavericks on Friday, he put to rest any questions concerning the two guards and their ability to coexist on the court.
"It's false," Rose said. "It's so false. It's so false. I love Jimmy as a player and as a person for one. Just knowing what he came from, what he had to go through just to get in this position. He still has a bright future. I'm lucky in my career to be playing with a player where the sky's the limit. Like who knows how good he can be and who knows how good the team can be. It's very exciting not only be playing with this team but with a guy like that."
