The Bulls shocked just about everyone this summer when, seemingly out of nowhere, they signed Wade to a 2-year, $47 million deal.
Fans had many different reactions to the signing. Some were shocked that Wade would ever leave the Miami Heat, where he had previously played for his entire career. Some were excited to see him play again in his hometown. Others were annoyed. After all, the Bulls’ General Manager Gar Forman and Vice President John Paxton told the world heading into the off-season that they would become a “younger and more athletic” team.
