Chicago Bulls Central

The Chicago Bulls trade deadline shake-up was just the start. Now comes the part that truly defines the franchise.
On this episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down the three critical moves the Bulls cannot afford to get wrong after the deadline:
Using their massive draft capital wisely 📝
Attacking restricted free agency with purpose 💰
Making the right calls on their own free agents 🔄
With eight first-round picks (and possibly more) plus 13 second-round picks through 2032, the Bulls have flexibility most teams dream of. But flexibility only matters if you execute.
Can Arturas Karnisovas hit on at least one major restricted free agent like Walker Kessler, Jalen Duren, Bennedict Mathurin or Austin Reaves?
Will Chicago commit fully to building around Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis and Noa Essengue?
And the biggest question of all…
Is Billy Donovan the right coach to guide a young reset? 🤔
This offseason could finally determine whether the Bulls escape the treadmill of mediocrity — or step right back onto it.

The Chicago Bulls fall apart in the 4th quarter in a 136-120 loss to the Denver Nuggets, getting outscored 39-16 in the final frame. What happened down the stretch? 👀
Despite 7 Bulls scoring in double figures, it wasn’t enough to close this one out in Denver.
🔥 Matas Buzelis led Chicago with 21 points
🔥 Anfernee Simons added 15 in his new Bulls role
🔥 Jaden Ivey chipped in 10
🔥 Nick Richards finished with 15
🔥 Collin Sexton scored 17 off the bench
The Bulls showed offensive balance for three quarters… then completely unraveled late. Is this growing pains with a retooled roster? Defensive breakdowns? Fatigue? Or something deeper?

The Chicago Bulls trade deadline was just the beginning… 👀🐂
Arturas Karnisovas shocked the league by moving Nikola Vucevic, Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu, Kevin Huerter, Julian Phillips, Dalen Terry, and Jevon Carter — but according to reports, the offseason is expected to be EVEN BUSIER.
The Bulls now control:
✅ 14 second-round picks
✅ All future first-round picks
✅ Massive cap flexibility
✅ Multiple former lottery picks in Jaden Ivey & Rob Dillingham
So what’s the real plan?
Will Chicago:
Push for a star if one becomes available? ⭐
Attack restricted free agency? 💰
Play the long game and load up with rookies? 📈
Or pivot AGAIN and mix vets with youth?
We break down what this “deconstruction phase” really means, what AK might be cooking, and why this offseason could define the next 5 years of Bulls basketball.
Plus, we react to YOUR voicemails on:
📞 Nick Richards & Jalen Smith frontcourt fit
📞 Moving up in the draft with second-round picks
📞 Dumping Patrick Williams’ contract
📞 Ivey vs Ayo comparisons
📞 What the rotation looks like the rest of the season
This isn’t just a reset. This is a crossroads moment for the Chicago Bulls.

The NBA Trade Deadline has passed… and now the real questions begin.
Where has this left the Chicago Bulls? Are they finally committing to draft positioning and long-term growth? Or are we headed toward another hybrid roster of vets and youth this summer?
On this episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down:
🐂 The appearance of a direction — but can we trust Arturas Karnisovas to stay patient?
📉 Why the Bulls likely won’t win many of their final 30 games
🎯 Why this stretch is MASSIVE for Matas Buzelis’ development
🔍 The evaluation of Jaden Ivey before restricted free agency
🤔 Who stays: Anfernee Simons or Collin Sexton?
💰 How the Bulls might use their massive cap space
📊 Is Rob Dillingham really a diamond… or a reach?
🏀 The center situation with Nick Richards, Yabusele & Jalen Smith
🔥 And the biggest question of all… was it worth it?
The Bulls now have cap flexibility, draft positioning leverage, and roster optionality. But how they use it will define the next era of Chicago basketball.

The Chicago Bulls fall 123-107 to the Toronto Raptors in a tough road loss, but there were some bright spots in the team’s new era.
In his first game with Chicago, Anfernee Simons led the Bulls with 22 points, showing flashes of the scoring punch he brings to this revamped roster. Meanwhile, Matas Buzelis continued his strong development, adding 18 points and displaying confidence on both ends of the floor.
With Nikola Vucevic gone and multiple trade deadline moves reshaping the roster, the Bulls are clearly in transition. What did we learn from Simons’ debut? Is Buzelis taking the next leap? And what does this loss say about the direction of the team moving forward?

We break down:
• Simons’ fit in the offense
• Buzelis’ growth and role
• Defensive breakdowns vs Toronto
• What this loss means for the Bulls’ season
