Rumblings hit the internet on Thursday evening that the Chicago Bulls have expressed some interest in Philadelphia 76ers big man Jahlil Okafor.
Okafor is something of a hot button player in Philly these days with many Sixers faithful feelings very strongly about the second year player. The thing is, some people believe he is young and still has plenty of potential, while others, well... others do not think nearly as highly of Jah.
Now, if you're looking for a level-headed post discussing some actual trade options with the Bulls, this is not it. Go here for some intelligent discussion on an Okafor-to-the-Bulls deal.
This is just Sixers fans being brutal:
