Well, the season had quite the interesting end for the Chicago Bulls. They overachieved in many ways, but just the same, they fell flat in the end. So let’s get right into those exit interviews!

There are so many ways that this summer could go, and we’ll dig in to all of those eventually. For now, it’s all about exit interviews.

You know that Dwyane Wade was going to have some interesting quotes and a totally not fire fit to show off. Honestly, the guy goes to fashion week in Paris, but he’s walking around in a Li-Ning sweatsuit that has his own name on it. Dwyane, we know you’ve got that Givenchy plug, let your fire fits shine, my man.

Also, Robin Lopez brought his adult son, or his dog, Muppet.

And there was the Jimmy Butler interview as well as great nuggets from guys like the rookies. A full rookie season is in the books for both Denzel Valentine and Paul Zipser, one having been vastly more impressive than the other. Spoiler: Valentine was the much less impressive one of the two.

Anyway, there are a lot of things we can dig in and overreact to and guess about and infer things to. There is just so much for us to work with here that may or may not mean anything at all. Let’s take a look at five things from exit interviews that stood out. Maybe somewhere is this heap of coded, lukewarm language, we can find some sense of meaning or truth.

We’ll lead things off with the fashion guru himself, the rider of banana boats, the guy who looked absolutely cooked in the playoffs after his grueling 14th NBA season. I think you know the man I am talking about.

Oh, and there was also some noteworthy silence that we will touch on. Ah, the offseason in chaotic Chicago.
