Bulls fans start GoFundMe for #FireGarPax billboard
To the surprise of no one, the Chicago Bulls' decision to trade All-NBA swingman Jimmy Butler on Thursday did not sit well with the team's fans.
A group of supporters were so irate with the move that they started a GoFundMe page to raise money for a billboard to call for the firing of general manager Gar Forman and vice president of basketball operations John Paxson.

The r/ChicagoBulls community now has a new mission...
It's time to raise our pitchforks everyone. Reinsdorf and GarPax have made the Bulls the laughing stock of the NBA for far too long.
This past NBA draft is the final straw. Not only did we trade Jimmy Butler for a value equivalent to a Diet Sprite and a Snickers bar, but we traded away one of the best defensive talents in the 2nd round for... cash??? Yes the Reinsdorf and GarPax figured the best idea to go about a rebuild is to sell our draft picks for cash...We need a GM that can individually turn the franchise into the right direction and GarPax is not the answer.
