Chicago Bulls guard Jimmy Butler has insisted that his chemistry with teammate Derrick Rose will improve in the new season.

Butler signed a contract extension this summer, but there were reports of tension growing between the pair during last season.

Both players have dismissed the reports, but Butler concedes that there is still room for improvement for the back-court duo.

"I think we can," Butler told ESPN 1000, when asked about improving his chemistry with Rose.

"I think we will. And I think we better, because the way I look at it, I don't think either one of us is going anywhere anytime soon."

The 25-year-old insisted that the best way to do that would be to win games under new coach Fred Hoiberg next season.
