Joakim Noah to return Friday (just not as a starter), and Jimmy Butler has a new beef

[This was in a FanPost but I'll give it the full story treatment, thanks Tiandogg -yfbb]

Hoiberg said Mirotic "most likely" will start vs. Hornets because of match ups. Said will reassess lineup after that.

Hopefully the assessment revolves around Gasol, and whether he should be benched. As Vincent Goodwill points out, the next few teams on the Bulls schedule play a small PF, so Noah may not get another chance for a while.

Bad news everyone, HINRICH IN:

Then there's this on Friday's opponent:

Butler said beyond the 130 points Bulls allowed to Hornets, he's mad at Brian Roberts for shooting at end of blowout.
