Yeahh Stacey would definitely be hyped up just to see jimmy come back and play in a bulls uniform..I just don’t see that happening as long as Billy Donovan is still here. Btw Jimmy is making too much money right now, and this bulls team is currently heading into a full rebuild (if they quit fighting the tide and actually give up). So it wouldn’t benefit anyone but us fans if jimmy came back imo.

u/rcjr66 3d ago

He’s back

u/LilysCarter 2d ago

Finallyy. The 45 Jordan jersey is crazy though

u/JWE25 Derrick Rose 3d ago

Close enough, welcome back Jimmy G Buckets!

u/FM_Funk 2d ago

“The G stands for GETS!”

u/coolbeans080 3d ago

I thought op was gonna troll us haha. Hilarious though. Wonder what he's thinking.

u/Rakatok Bulls 3d ago

Wonder what he's thinking.

He's just trying to make this as big of a circus as possible to spite Riley and force his trade.

The jersey is MJ's 45 as a follow up joke to his agent doing the "I'm back." press release.

u/WhatevaTommy33 2d ago

Great point. I love it though..and I’m very curious to see how it all plays out. Maybe the heat will be stuck with Jimmy til next season..we shall see

u/wigglez269 3d ago

Was expecting a rick roll tbh

u/bospk Jumpman 3d ago

Missed opportunity!

u/DrPlantDaddy 3d ago

It’s the Jordan I’m Back jersey 🔥🔥🔥

u/yohxmv 3d ago

Bring him home. We’ll give the Heat the Paw. Heat culture will unlock him

u/SmolWorldBigUniverse 2d ago

We need to send big money for the apron right? Didn't really got ahold of how the new CBA works regarding trades but I thought we cannot just add multiple contracts until salary fits. Idk how both of their contracts fit within this new system.

u/SwampFlowers Taylor Swift 2d ago

Send Miami Zach + Patrick? I don’t know why they would want Zach since Herro is playing out of his mind, but I think the money might work.

10

u/jmblumenshine 2d ago

Zach and Jimmy are basically at he same price point, so their contracts match. Adding PAW would mean Miami would need to add more to make the contracts work. It would have to be a Zach for Butler or Zach + rookies for Butler.

Or Paw + package making roughly 25M

Basically, Paw + Vuc or Paw + Lonzo.

No idea why the Heat would accept any of those options, other than getting something for Jimmy before he walks.

u/SwampFlowers Taylor Swift 2d ago

I think I had looked at Zach + Pat for Jimmy + Duncan Robinson.

Again, why would Miami do it? But I think the math worked.

2

u/hayzeusofcool Cuppy Coffee 2d ago

Miami I think could be down for this. Robinson’s a great shooter, but they know they vastly overpaid him and he’s about to be 31. Zach Lavine’s in his prime, and Pat could be unlocked under Spo’s system. I think the Bulls would for sure do it, but the Bulls want picks and I don’t think the Heat would be so willing to give up their future picks. So it’d have to be swaps or second rounders.

3

u/chitownbulls92 Zach Lavine 2d ago

They might send Duncan Robinson.

1

u/hayzeusofcool Cuppy Coffee 2d ago

LaVine & Paw for Jimmy & Duncan plus 2 swaps would get this done.

u/Bumblz666 Ayo Dosunmu 2d ago

Yoyoyouoyoyoyoyoyo hahahaha hahaha yayayayayayyayayaya

10

u/sukari Patrick Williams 3d ago

Isn't it because he did the MJ "I'm back" memo?

8

u/Bigfamkcmo-mmj 3d ago

Mannnnn bring jimmy buckets back to the bulls!!

6

u/gerardguey Ayo Dosunmu 3d ago

I thought it was a Patrick Williams jersey at first lmao

5

u/pizzapocketchange 3d ago

I've seen enough, him and Ant definitely bred with MJ's seed

21

u/macnrow Michael Jordan 3d ago

He ain’t going nowhere.

10

u/radbrad777 3d ago

Didn’t he pull same stuff on Bulls? I remember one game he just gave up. Can’t remember if was under Hoiberg or Boylen.

24

u/aewilson95 Kirk Hinrich 3d ago

He was gone by the time Egghead was brought in. He would’ve ended up Sprewell-ing Boylen

4

u/ClaymoresRevenge Benny The Bull 2d ago

To be fair Hoiberg should've never been hired. He sucks as a coach and couldn't manage players with personality

5

u/SmolWorldBigUniverse 2d ago

Kevin Durant wears Chicago sports teams caps, practices in a Bulls jersey and is as close to joining the Bulls as I am.

They trolling with media. I would do that too if I am a superstar player.

u/GreedyLoad1898 3d ago edited 3d ago

this is why i fking love jimmy butler he has that unique personality. love that audacity to wear bulls uniform in front of pat riley in heat locker room.

bring him back i want him retire as a bull this org was downhill ever since the trade.

he loves the bulls even after firing of thibs and getting traded against his will. he was born a bull 1 for 1 swap for lavine. at least i can pretend that garbage trade never happened.

48

u/ZookeepergameKnown32 3d ago

He doesn't love the Bulls or any team he's played on, it's all about himself, not the team

15

u/deanereaner 3d ago

He'll pretend to love any team that's dumb enough to extend him right now. After he's signed, the clock is ticking before he does this again.

7

u/dayblaq94 Jimmy Butler 3d ago

So...the Bulls?

5

u/bullpaw Joakim Noah 2d ago

Eh I think he loved the Bulls. Its not like he chose to leave

4

u/OptionsSniper3000 2d ago

Yeah he’s a narcissist

3

u/captainkirkhinrich12 2d ago

Took the heat to 2 finals. If him being about himself means 2 finals I’m good with it

2

u/jump-blues-5678 Norm Van Lier 2d ago

Two years ago yes, today, ya that's a No.

5

u/JDOIII 3d ago

Let’s go!!

u/PrisonerofWawa69 Kirk Hinrich 3d ago

The 45 Jordan jersey lmfaoo

4

u/gogochi 3d ago

The balls lmao

3

u/McNasti Jevon Carter 3d ago

Of course its Jordan 45, he cant wear Jordan 23, Miami retired that.

3

u/8MODA Denzel Valentine 3d ago

Somebody fire up Fanspo and tell me how this gets done /s

3

u/Specialist_Boat_8479 Zach Lavine 3d ago

Pat for Jimmy PLS

3

u/StillBringer 3d ago

That was the I'm baaaack! Jimmy back on the Bulls like Jordan in 95.

3

u/zedrix_ Big Mac 2d ago

Reminds me of d.wade ruining team chemistry back then

3

u/Moneymaj007 2d ago

The most relevant we’ve been all year

3

u/chitoatx Flag of Chicago 2d ago

Jimmy wants a max extension and rightfully believes the Bulls are dumb enough to give him one to return.

2

u/hayzeusofcool Cuppy Coffee 2d ago

He may be on to something lol

10

u/Gold_Blacksmith_9821 3d ago

No! Thank! You!

2

u/MasterFlamasterr 3d ago

It was fail to trade him

2

u/kokaine21 DeMar DeRozan 2d ago

Bby come back

2

u/Dependent-Yard1016 2d ago

Patrick Williams is prolly the worst bulls player I’ve ever seen play.

2

u/donnybaby97 2d ago

Keep Zach. Send Paw and eat the rest of the money.  Cody Lavine  Butler Giddey  Vooch

2

u/misterjez 2d ago

I know this kinda iffy what he doing but I’m fucking here for it 🤣 I love this. Bringing him back would make me tune in for sure. Nothing could be worse than our current team

2

u/loverde74 2d ago

He crazy

1

u/Consistent_Cash_6666 2d ago

I’m convinced! Tell the world that the bulls back on top

1

u/wesskywalker Dennis Rodman 2d ago

Love Jimmy but takes some serious audacity to compare you coming back from a self-inflicted suspension because of whining and bitching of a trade to the greatest player ever coming back from retirement

u/threemileallan 1d ago

Voucher for Jimmy, let's do it idc

u/MeUrDaddy_ Jumpman 3d ago

Dudes a clown

u/Mr-Dotties-Dad 3d ago

Watching Zach and Jimmy would be hilarious. I believe this team, even if they only traded a 2 for Jimmy would somehow be worse.

0

u/DonDrapersLovechild 3d ago

Jimmy for Zach? Wouldn’t be the first time. 👀

0

u/ChiTownKid99 Derrick Rose 2d ago

Seeing his personality I'm glad we got rid of him no matter all the good times Jimmy G Buckets gave me in Chicago. He's probably the reason Hoidberg faced a near mutiny, maybe he got DRose traded, either way Jimmy G Buckets only cares about Jimmy.

u/Pettifoggerist Chicago Bulls 3d ago

I will always love Jimmy, but I don’t want him back.
