Chicago Bulls Central

Josh Giddey is reportedly drawing interest from the Minnesota Timberwolves and Phoenix Suns, but does that mean the Chicago Bulls are seriously considering trading him? 👀🐂
On today’s episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize separates legitimate long-term questions from premature trade speculation. Giddey may be safe this offseason, but with Bryson Graham evaluating the entire roster, nobody should be considered untouchable forever.
Haize also breaks down five potential NBA Draft sleepers the Bulls could target with picks No. 15 and No. 38:
🔥 Bennett Stirtz
⚡ Ebuka Okorie
🎯 Allen Graves
💪 Tarris Reed Jr.
🏹 Richie Saunders
Plus, what will Chicago do with unrestricted free agents Anfernee Simons and Collin Sexton? Could an Ayo Dosunmu reunion become possible? And should Quentin Grimes be considered if the Bulls need more guard depth?
The Bulls’ new era is taking shape, and Bryson Graham’s first major offseason could completely reshape the roster.

The Chicago Bulls are entering a critical 2026 NBA Draft with a new front office vision, a new head coach in Tiago Splitter, and a rebuild that needs more than just star upside at the top of the draft. On today’s episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down his favorite second-round prospects who could fit what Bryson Graham and the Bulls are trying to build.
Could Baba Miller become a long-term defensive upside swing? Does Trevon Brazile offer the exact length, athleticism, weak-side rim protection and stretch flashes Chicago needs? Could Zuby Ejiofor bring the toughness, rebounding and dirty-work identity the Bulls have lacked? Is Ryan Conwell the type of hard-nosed shooter who could help space the floor? And could Keyshawn Hall be an overlooked scoring option with real offensive upside?
Haize also dives into the mailbag, including thoughts on Noa Essengue’s overlooked upside, the conversation around Matas Buzelis as a key rebuild piece, what Tiago Splitter’s player-development system could look like, and why the Bulls need “structured patience” instead of forcing a desperate home-run move too early.
If you’re locked into the Chicago Bulls rebuild, the 2026 NBA Draft, Bryson Graham’s SLAP profile, Tiago Splitter’s coaching philosophy, and the future of Matas Buzelis, Noa Essengue, Josh Giddey and the young core, this episode is for you.

The Chicago Bulls draft rumor mill is heating up fast, and Haize breaks down the latest updates surrounding Bryson Graham’s potential draft board, possible trade-up options, and the biggest names connected to Chicago ahead of draft night.
Could the Bulls move back into the first round for Jayden Quaintance if he slides into the 20s? Is Morez Johnson Jr. becoming Chicago’s real target at No. 15? And what should Bulls fans make of Sam Vecenie connecting Yaxel Lendeborg to the Bulls as a possible fit with Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis, and a top-four forward?

Plus, the show dives into the most realistic center options in the draft for Chicago, including Aday Mara, Henri Veesaar, Hannes Steinbach, Morez Johnson Jr., and Jayden Quaintance, and how each player fits Tiago Splitter’s developmental system and Bryson Graham’s SLAP profile of size, length, athleticism, and physicality.

The Chicago Bulls rumor mill is heating up, and Haize is separating facts from cap on the latest buzz surrounding the rebuild. Could Ayo Dosunmu really return to the Bulls, or is that more hopeful thinking than reality? Should Chicago have any interest in Trae Young, or would that completely clash with the direction Bryson Graham and Tiago Splitter are trying to build?
Haize also breaks down the Bulls’ possible free-agent center options, including Walker Kessler, Isaiah Hartenstein, Mark Williams and Deandre Ayton, and explains which big man best fits Chicago’s timeline, roster needs and developmental plan under Splitter.
Then, we dive into a dream 2026 NBA Draft class if Darryn Peterson falls to No. 4. Could a class of Darryn Peterson, Dailyn Swain and Trevon Brazile give the Bulls the athletic, modern identity they’ve been searching for?
