The Minnesota Timberwolves introduced Jimmy Butler to the media today, and at his introductory media conference Butler gave out his phone number.
Butler was asked about the rumors surrounding him and his discontent with the Chicago Bulls. His response was a phone number. He encouraged people to call if they have something to say to him.

When you call that number, you get a voicemail message telling you to leave a message...Especially if you "got any beef".
The Timberwolves later posted a video clip showing Butler responding to messages during a flight.
