Is this guy a diva? Or is he just completely hellbent on competing and has zero patience for people not like that? Or both?

Both?
I mean isn't he the guy who:
1. did not want to go through the pains of rebuilding with the Bulls and was enough of a malcontent that they had to trade him.
2. went to a team with two overall #1 picks and could not get them past the first round as leader guy and is once again trying to force his way out of town.
3. is reportedly trying to make his way to a team with very little chance of winning (Heat or Clippers) but can pay him the max immediately and would be better for his brand.
I am not saying that the above is a fair representation of Butler. I am saying it could be. I am also saying a guy like Paul George (fellow all NBA'er in 2018) got ripped for less.
