I think this was supposed to be a "Rondo will be unhappy" tweet, but it reads as more of a "Remember that the Bulls FO is loving terrible" tweet

Bulls need to rebuild

The Bulls have a borderline top-10 player in his prime and jack poo poo else; they need to retool as quickly as possible because they're going to have to burn it all down in three years if they don't

Fred is such a terrible coach. "Hm, we have no good point guards and the team obviously plays better with Jimmy running the offense surrounded by decent shooters, but I don't want to destroy the precious Rajon Rondo-Doug McDermott bench relationship. Let's start Jerian Grant instead"

I think unathletic sometimes looks like "not trying hard enough". I don't think guys are loafing.

There are five legitimate rotation players on the roster, and three of them should be playing center in the modern NBA

Also Jimmy is starting to sound like the cancer in this organization and that's tough with trash like Gar Forman in it.

I've pinpointed our issue...the guy who was the 30th pick in the draft who has worked himself into becoming a top-10 player. Ok that might sound like he's not that bad but he complained about his lovely teammates and coach and he's friends with Mark Wahlberg

I'm picturing Fred Hoiberg working up the courage to discipline Wade/Butler for a few hours in the mirror, and then when he actually calls them into his office he can only spit out "Uhhhh you're going to come off the bench. Problem solved see ya out there fellas"

Then he closes the door and curses himself for not finding a good clip from Caddyshack that could have fixed this entire mess

3 straight years of chaos in the locker room with him at the center of it.

I don't even know what chaos he was responsible for in 2014-15, but the Rose-Butler stuff always seemed overblown (they just weren't a good fit playing next to each other, and also Rose sucked).

The only other thing he's done is expressed frustration with his lovely coach and lovely teammates, so I'd prefer to see if he was not occasionally publicly grumpy with a competent supporting cast

Are there any players other than Luol Deng and Thon Maker who are affected by the travel ban? I was thinking "I wonder if Maker is gonna have to stay in the country the next time the Bucks are playing in Toronto," and then looked up their schedule and saw they were playing in Toronto last night

Luckily a Bucks official confirmed he made it back
