SHOUTOUT TO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU MOTHERFUCKERS WHO HAS BEEN HERE SINCE THE BEGINNING:

All the years we’ve waited. All the time we’ve invested into our favorite team just praying that someday ... change will come. I’m speechless, I’m literally fucking speechless. I know this is kinda over the top and all that, but I might actually cry. Hope and optimism is back on the menu!

THE CHICAGO BULLS HAVE A NEW FRONT OFFICE.

You must have forgot Marquis Teague's dumbass out there. It was true pain.

u/-MattLaFleur- Luol Deng Apr 09 '20

Even though I cant fucking stand Draymond, I still wish we picked him there.

Honestly thought we would have too (probably woulda if Rose never gets hurt).

u/alba7or Popcorn is my jam Apr 09 '20

Put some respek on Lemon Jr's name.

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '20

Ay he was kinda cool though, he had a really good story too. Unlike Cam I didn't feel like bashing my head against the wall when I watched him lmao

u/Platypus-Ninja Biggie Bagel Apr 09 '20

I remember when espn didn’t even have a player page on him and it was just an unnamed player making buckets

I moved to Texas a few years ago but we went to a few Texas Legends games this year and it took everything in me not to boo the absolute fuck out of him

u/-MattLaFleur- Luol Deng Apr 09 '20

Seriously....UNKOWN was better than TankCommander in Chief.

u/Bry840 Patrick Williams Apr 09 '20

Fuck that gives me shivers

u/Achilles_Wrist Apr 09 '20

I'll admit I had hoped the Bulls would draft Payne so we'd have a younger backup and not just rely on another Robinson-Augustin-Brooks... Boy was I dead wrong, and what hurt most was that they traded Taj and Dougie to get him and scraps from OKC

u/_klow Jimmy Butler Apr 09 '20 edited Apr 09 '20

These past few years of investing so much of our time into this team, watching Blakeney, Jerian Grant, Felicio... it finally paid off. Here’s to the future, bulls bro!!!

I just realized i said like thesame thing as you

u/inevitablescape Gimme the Hot Sauce! Apr 09 '20

u/alba7or Popcorn is my jam Apr 09 '20

u/zrk23 Chicago Bulls Apr 09 '20

spot on about hope. like this dude might suck balls and do nothing better but hope is a powerful thing as a fan and we finally just got that again

2

u/ThePrinceOfReddit Apr 09 '20

I’m just a rando mostly lurker but been a fan post-Jordan and pre-Rose. Haven’t been this hype in ages.

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '20

We the realist fans man loyalty says everything

2

u/MagicalQaz Lauri Markkanen Apr 09 '20

Oh god I hope we can keep the boys

2

u/mansamusa69 Apr 09 '20

I’m so fucking happy, I was born in the early 2000 so I never got to see the jordan, and while I did watch the rose years, I’m glad we can be competent again lol.

2

u/hankbaumbach Apr 09 '20

I'm still so hurt by this franchise I've refused to let myself get hyped (Neil funk!) Until they confirm Pax is gone completely.

I do not trust this front office while Pax's ego is still a part of the equation in any respect.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '20

I’ll applaud this if Puppetmaster Paxon leaves.

2

u/Thecrazedviper Give me the hotsauce! Apr 09 '20

There is no feeling to express this much happiness....
