If the Chicago Bulls are going to clinch a playoff berth, they’ll have to do it without Rajon Rondo. Shoot, from what head coach Fred Hoiberg says, it seems like they’d have to play through the postseason without him, per ESPN.com’s Nick Friedell: Fred Hoiberg says Rajon Rondo has ‘significant’ wrist injury. Rondo had visit [...]

Jimmy Butler is pumped for Dwyane Wade to make his return to the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night against the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center. But should he be? Butler, for his part, doesn’t appear to be equivocating. As he said after the Bulls’ Thursday night win over the Philadelphia 76ers, per CSN Chicago’s Vince Goodwill: [tweet [...]

In many front office personnel people’s eyes, Jimmy Butler was the biggest rumored prize or piece available on the trade market leading into the 2017 NBA trade deadline. As a former No. 30 pick of the 2011 NBA Draft by the Bulls, Butler’s legendary work ethic and incredible ability to never stop improving has helped [...]

Will we betting an encore of the Rajon Rondo and Chicago Bulls show next season? Definitely maybe. The Rondo experiment has failed miserably, just like many knew it would. He cramps spacing for a team that cannot shoot and has vacillated not only in and out of the starting lineup, but in and out of [...]

If the NBA is going to play host to another blockbuster deal ahead of the Feb. 23 trade deadline, it won’t include Jimmy Butler. Apparently. As ESPN.com’s Brian Windhorst said (via HoopsHype): The Bulls are telling other teams that everyone except Jimmy Butler is available for trades and believes the team is more inclined to [...]

The Chicago Bulls are hella lucky star restricted free agents never leave. And they’re infinitely more lucky that the NBA’s new collective bargaining agreement which makes it more financially rewarding for them to stay beyond that second deal. Case in point: Whatever the actual hell happened when the Bulls tried to get Jimmy Butler to [...]

Well, I’ll be: We have another twist in the Chicago Bulls’ point guard saga. Michael Carter-Williams started at the 1 in each of the team’s last 12 games. Prior to the Bulls’ Tuesday night win over the clunky Orlando Magic, though, he found out he was now nixed from the rotation in favor of Jerian Grant [...]

In case you were wondering whether NBA players would take their role in choosing All-Stars seriously, Robin Lopez has given us an answer. From the Chicago Tribune‘s K.C. Johnson: [tweet https://twitter.com/KCJHoop/status/821807969486643200] Welp. We’re going to assume Lopez is kidding. Actually, on second thought, he probably isn’t. This seems to track with his jovial, if quirky, personality. [...]

Rajon Rondo? On the Cleveland Cavaliers? Playing with LeBron James? No. Surely not. No, no, no, no, no. Hell no. Okay, maybe. From Cleveland.com’s Joe Vardon: Seated on the Bulls’ bench for the third consecutive game was Rajon Rondo, a former All-Star who signed a two-year, $27 million deal in the offseason to come to [...]

Dwyane Wade may not harbor much, if any, ill will toward the Miami Heat following his offseason departure, but he’s not exactly breaking bread with them, either. As Wade told reporters ahead of the Chicago Bulls’ clash with his old team, he hasn’t even spoken to Heat president Pat Riley since leaving, per ESPN.com’s Nick [...]
