Friday marks the first time the Wolves and Bulls will face off this season.
While that’s all great and dandy, it’s a secondary storyline.
The real storyline here is that it's the first time Jimmy Butler will return to Chicago since being dealt to Minnesota on draft night in exchange for Zach LaVine, Kris Dunn and the No. 7 overall pick (Lauri Markkanen).
It’s also a ‘Welcome Back!’ moment for a few other Wolves.
Let’s start with Butler.
Jimmy Butler, Bulls, 2011-17
Butler developed into a three-time All-Star in Chicago, mostly under the tutelage of one Tom Thibodeau.
