Joakim Noah has begun to tell his Chicago Bulls' teammates he plans on signing elsewhere in free agency.

Noah allegedly said he “has no trust in the front office getting this in the right direction.’’

There appears to be a complete mistrust multiple players have towards Gar Forman.

Tom Thibodeau was always able to shield the players from the front office, having them buy into the idea that it was “us against them.’’ The wall became blurry when the Bulls hired Fred Hoiberg.

Noah had a difficult season that included injury.

“[Noah] represents a lot of things that we believe in,’’ VP of basketball operations John Paxson said in mid-April about re-signing Noah. “So we have an affinity for Jo. But we’ve got to talk, we’ve got to see where it goes.’’

Jimmy Butler will represent the Chicago Bulls at the lottery.

The Bulls are in the draft lottery for the first time since 2008, when they overcame 1.7 percent odds to land Derrick Rose.

Butler has been linked to trade rumors with a discord between he and the organization.

Butler reportedly had a strong exit meeting with Fred Hoiberg.

The Denver Nuggets were perhaps the team who advanced furthest with the Los Angeles Clippers in exploring a trade for Blake Griffin before the trade deadline.

The offer of the Nuggets and what the Clippers were seeking for Griffin were not close and talks gained no traction.

The Chicago Bulls and Boston Celtics also inquired with the Clippers on Griffin.

Griffin's injuries have played a factor in how rival teams perceive his value.
