Why no, everything is not fine with the Chicago Bulls. Thanks for asking. Following the team’s Wednesday night loss to the Atlanta Hawks, Jimmy Butler and Dwyane Wade ripped their teammates for a seeming lack of effort, per the Chicago Tribune‘s K.C.

Dwyane Wade left the Miami Heat for the Chicago Bulls in July under less-than-warm circumstances, but that didn’t stop the franchise from playing a video tribute when he first returned. Or from keeping his old locker vacant, presumably as some form of honor for all he did and gave to the organization. Until now. The [...]

Jimmy Butler has been fantastic this season—clearly the best wing in the Eastern Conference, so long as you don’t count Giannis Antetokounmpo or LeBron James as wings. On Wednesday night, he was fantastic again, scoring 14 points in the fourth quarter to secure the Chicago Bulls’ victory over the injury-infested Cleveland Cavaliers. His motivation for [...]

Prior to the Miami Heat’s Thursday night victory over the Chicago Bulls, two things became clear. First, Dwyane Wade and Heat president Pat Riley, despite not talking since their basketball partnership dissolved, are totally cool. Second, both dudes need to beef up their email skills. Riley apparently sent Wade an email the morning of the [...]

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 [...]

Rumors
Dwyane Wade’s departure from Miami still feels unreal. He had always dubbed himself a “Heat Lifer,” but this can be an unpredictable business. He did not feel as if the team wanted him back nearly as much as they should. Perhaps Pat Riley took for granted that Wade wouldn’t bolt, but boy was he wrong. [...]

Dwyane Wade is ready to just enjoy being a member of the Chicago Bulls. That storyline has been lost, often without a trace, in Wade’s decision to leave behind the Miami Heat, the team with whom he spent the first 13 years of his career. But while money and, seemingly, a lack of communication and [...]

Dwyane Wade made his debut playing for his hometown team, making a dream come true Thursday night against the Boston Celtics in the United Center. He proved that he still has something left in the tank as a 34-year-old with quite a few miles on his odometer, leading the Bulls to a 105-99 victory with [...]
