to be fair, the cavs traded away a bunch of their veterans the season after lebron left, so it wasn't JUST him. Also Playoff Rondo showed up in chicago in 2017, then he got injured and we lost 4 straight games after winning the first two of the series.

[@davidebaso6994]

A player doesn't need to always score in order to be considered a star. Jimmy Butler and CP3 knows that very well. They just need to motivate their team mates, put them in the position to be great and come up only when needed.

As a bulls fan, the one thing that rubbed me the wrong way about Jimmy is how poorly he handles any clashes with teammates. The time he went to the media and threw the young players under the bus was unacceptable. Call a players only meeting and sort it out behind closed doors. Same could've been done with the Wolves. But everyone saying we lost that trade should've known how it would turn out. Wiggins and KAT don't seem determined to win like Jimmy, just like the Bulls' young players in his last year here.
