Dwyane Wade Said He 'Definitely Didn't Agree' with Chants to Fire Fred Hoiberg
Chicago Bulls shooting guard Dwyane Wade told reporters Saturday he wasn't pleased with chants that rang out at United Center on Friday evening advocating for the front office to fire head coach Fred Hoiberg.
Speaking at exit interviews, Wade said he "definitely didn't agree" with the chants, according to CSN Chicago's Vincent Goodwill.
"You've got to give people a chance," he added, per The Athletic's Sean Highkin. "All in all, I thought he did a good job."
Although the Bulls took a 2-0 series lead after stealing the first two games from the Boston Celtics at TD Garden, the Eastern Conference's No. 8 seed proceeded to drop four straight and bowed out of the first round in six games.
Now the Bulls have several key decisions to make regarding their future.
Not only do they have to contemplate whether Hoiberg is deserving of a third year after he's gone 83-81 over the past two seasons, but they have to hash out a blueprint regarding the franchise's long-term vision.
As Wade told reporters Saturday, "he wants clarity from management on whether the Bulls are competing or rebuilding" before he makes a decision about exercising or declining his $23.8 million player option for next season, per Highkin.
However, Wade doesn't appear to be sweating his future as he turns his attention toward a 15th NBA season.
"I have a great luxury where I don't have to ring-chase, but I can," he said, according to Highkin. "Or I can be a part of passing down my knowledge. Either way."
