    Bulls Just Changed Their ENTIRE Draft Strategy 😳 4 Picks Incoming?!

    The Chicago Bulls’ trade deadline frenzy didn’t just reshape the roster — it completely changed their 2026 NBA Draft strategy 🧨🐂 After moving eight players and embracing a soft tank, Chicago now enters the draft with incredible flexibility, potential lottery positioning, and up to FOUR total draft picks. With building blocks in Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis, and Noa Essengue, the Bulls no longer have to draft strictly for positional need — they can finally go Best Player Available. Haize breaks down: Why the Bulls don’t have to force a center selectionHow Portland’s lottery-protected pick could conveyWhy the 33rd overall pick might be sneakily valuableWhat the Zach LaVine trade tree REALLY turned intoWhether Arturas Karnisovas deserves more credit than fans admitWith full control of their future first-round picks, eight new second-rounders, and cap flexibility on the way, the Bulls are better positioned than they’ve been in years. But can AK capitalize on it?

    LEBRON CO-SIGNS JOSH GIDDEY 👀 | Bulls Trade Deadline Gets D+ Grade?!

    LeBron James just gave Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey a massive shoutout at NBA All-Star Weekend 👀🔥 The Lakers star praised Giddey’s development, improved shooting, and ability to control tempo — validating the Bulls’ decision to trade Alex Caruso and later sign Giddey to a 4-year, $100M extension. But while Giddey earns national respect, frustration continues to grow around Artūras Karnišovas and the Bulls front office. After a chaotic trade deadline that included 7 trades, 8 players moved, and 9 second-round picks acquired, Bulls reporter Joe Cowley handed Chicago a D+ grade — citing poor timing and a “soft tank” direction. Did AK wait too long? Did the Bulls fail to maximize value on Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu, and Nikola Vucevic? Is this rebuild intentional — or accidental? Plus: Billy Donovan says what Bulls fans have been waiting to hear about Rob Dillingham. The rookie guard is finally getting real minutes and the freedom to grow. We break down: LeBron’s comments on Josh GiddeyThe truth about AK’s roster constructionWhy the trade deadline return feels underwhelmingWhat Dillingham’s role means long termCap holds, Bird Rights & Free Agency strategy (Simons vs Sexton debate 👀)Voicemail reactions from Savon & MikeBulls Nation… is there finally a direction?

    Bulls Betting It ALL on Restricted Free Agency?! AK’s Risky Plan Revealed

    The Chicago Bulls have created massive salary cap flexibility — but what are they really planning to do with it? 👀 After moving eight players at the trade deadline and leaning into what looks like a tank, Artūras Karnišovas has positioned the Bulls for a pivotal 2026 offseason. But instead of chasing aging unrestricted free agents like LeBron James, Norman Powell, or Kristaps Porziņģis, the Bulls may target the restricted free agent market — and that’s where things get interesting. Names like Jalen Duren, Tari Eason, Walker Kessler, Peyton Watson, Bennedict Mathurin, and Mark Williams could all hit RFA status. Could Chicago weaponize cap space with aggressive offer sheets? Or will teams simply match and leave the Bulls scrambling for Plan B? We break down: Why restricted free agency is a gamble 🎲Whether AK has the vision to executeIf the Bulls’ young core (Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis, Noa Essengue, Jaden Ivey) is enoughWhy the structure and coaching development may matter more than cap spacePlus, we react to voicemails debating: Is Anfernee Simons a winning player?Is Josh Giddey still the team’s leader?What record would actually make this season a “success”?Does this front office have what it takes to build a real contender?The Bulls have flexibility. Now the question is… can they turn it into talent? 🔥 Tap in with Chicago Bulls Central — hosted by Haize.

    The All-Star Break is here and the Chicago Bulls sit at a crossroads. What should Bulls fans expect after the break? Will the return of Josh Giddey, Tre Jones, and Jalen Smith push this team back toward the Play-In Tournament — or is the tank officially in motion? On this episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down: When Giddey and Tre Jones are expected to returnWhether their return changes the trajectory of the seasonIf player development is truly a priorityWhy Matas Buzelis, Jaden Ivey, and Rob Dillingham aren’t getting the reps fans expectedWhich players (Sexton, Simons, Richards, Yabusele, Ivey) could be part of the long-term coreBilly Donovan’s future and whether he’s the right coach for a developmental phaseWhy Bulls fans should be watching the Portland Trail Blazers closely 👀With the Blazers sitting 9th in the West and holding the easiest remaining schedule in the NBA, Chicago’s draft future could hinge on Portland climbing to the 8th seed and making the playoffs. Is this tank sustainable? Is AK finally thinking long-term? Or are the Bulls stuck between development and chasing the 10th seed again?

    Tanking Without Development?! Bulls Have NO Structure Right Now

    The Chicago Bulls aren’t just losing games — they’re becoming hard to watch. Is this tanking? Or is it simply dysfunction? On today’s episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down why the Bulls’ current direction (or lack thereof) is more concerning than the losses themselves. Tanking may be happening — but without real development or structure, what’s the actual goal? We dive into: Why the Bulls look like they’re bottoming out to avoid the Play-InWhy this doesn’t feel like a multi-year rebuildThe bigger issue: no clear developmental planPatrick Williams playing more minutes than Matas Buzelis 👀Whether Billy Donovan should survive a potential 5th losing season in 6 yearsPlus: Jeremy Sochan hitting the open market — why he makes perfect sense for ChicagoWhy the Bulls failed to land Yves Missi at the trade deadlineWhat “Second Chance U” really says about AK’s team-building strategyVoicemail reactions on the Ayo Dosunmu trade falloutThe Bulls have flexibility. They have young players. They have draft assets.
