Chicago Bulls Central

🚨 The Chicago Bulls’ new starting five finally has shape — and it may be the clearest identity Chicago has had in years. 🐂🔥
With Norman Powell joining the Bulls on a two-year, $45 million deal, Chicago’s projected starting lineup now looks like this:
Josh Giddey / Norman Powell / Matas Buzelis / Caleb Wilson / Nic Claxton
On today’s episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down how this starting five fits together, why Powell changes the entire offensive structure, and what this lineup means for the development of Matas Buzelis and Caleb Wilson.
This Bulls group has size, length, athleticism, transition pressure, rim protection, and a real veteran scorer at shooting guard. But there are still major questions:
🎯 Is the shooting good enough?
🔥 Can the Bulls create in the half court?
🧱 Will the defense hold up against elite guards?
👀 Does Caleb Wilson need more time before being a full-time spacing threat?
💰 Should Chicago use the final roster spot or keep it open?
Haize also breaks down the Bulls’ ideal offensive identity: paint pressure first, threes second, midrange selectively. This should not be a reckless three-point team or a slow isolation team. The best version of this Bulls offense is about pace, cutting, screening, quick reads, and forcing defenses into rotation.
Plus, what should the Bulls do with their final roster spot? Should they keep flexibility for a midseason trade, or add another guard/shooter like Anfernee Simons, Bruce Brown, or Gary Trent Jr.?

🚨 BREAKING BULLS FREE AGENCY NEWS! 🐂🔥

The Chicago Bulls have reportedly agreed to a two-year, $45 million deal with Norman Powell, giving Bryson Graham his biggest free agency move yet and finally addressing one of Chicago’s biggest roster needs: a starting-level shooting guard who can score and space the floor. 🎯

On today’s episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize reacts to Powell joining the Bulls after an All-Star season in Miami and averaging nearly 22 points per game over the last two years.

Is this the move Chicago needed after a quiet Day 1 of free agency? Does Powell become the immediate starting shooting guard next to Josh Giddey? How does this impact Dailyn Swain’s development timeline? And did the Bulls pay the right price at two years, $45 million? 💰👀

Haize breaks down the fit, the contract, the rotation, the upside, the concerns, and what this means for the Bulls’ next move as the roster continues to take shape around Caleb Wilson, Matas Buzelis, Nic Claxton, Rob Dillingham, Dailyn Swain, and Zach Collins.

🚨 Bulls fans… the free agency board has officially shifted. 🐂🔥
After a quiet Day 1, the Chicago Bulls brought back Zach Collins on a two-year, $17 million deal — but now the big question is: what is Bryson Graham’s next move? 👀💰
With several rumored Bulls targets already off the board — including Jock Landale, Luke Kennard, Tim Hardaway Jr., Keon Ellis, Landry Shamet, and Dean Wade — Chicago’s focus should be crystal clear:
🎯 Find a starting-level shooting guard or wing
🔥 Add reliable three-point shooting
🧱 Improve perimeter defense
👀 Do it without blocking Dailyn Swain’s development
On today’s episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down the Bulls’ best remaining free agency options, including Kelly Oubre Jr., De’Anthony Melton, Quentin Grimes, Bruce Brown, Gary Trent Jr., Seth Curry, Malik Beasley, Andre Drummond, Kevon Looney, and Moe Wagner.
Could Kelly Oubre Jr. be the cleanest fit left? Is De’Anthony Melton the best two-way guard value? Should the Bulls still monitor Quentin Grimes if the Lakers deal is not official? And after bringing back Collins, should Chicago completely stop chasing bigs?
Plus, Haize dives into the part of free agency fans can’t ignore: trade candidates. With the roster getting crowded after adding Caleb Wilson, Dailyn Swain, Nic Claxton, Zach Collins, and Kam Jones, could names like Patrick Williams, Isaac Okoro, Jalen Smith, Tre Jones, or Leonard Miller be moved to balance the roster? 👀
The Bulls still need shooting. They still need guard/wing help. And the next move has to make life easier for Josh Giddey, Caleb Wilson, Dailyn Swain, Matas Buzelis, Nic Claxton, and Rob Dillingham — not harder.

The Chicago Bulls have added Caleb Wilson, Dailyn Swain, and Nic Claxton, but the roster still has work to do. On today’s episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down the Bulls’ biggest remaining free agency needs and the names that could make the most sense for Bryson Graham’s next moves. 🐂🔥
Could Peyton Watson still fit the Bulls’ new direction, or is the forward room already too crowded after drafting Wilson and Swain? Is Watson worth a major restricted free agency offer if Denver is expected to match unless the price gets uncomfortable?
Haize also dives into why the Bulls still need a true starting shooting guard, more three-point shooting, backup big man depth, and possibly a locker room veteran. Plus, the dream realistic free agency pairing: Quentin Grimes and Jock Landale. Grimes could solve the Bulls’ shooting guard and spacing problem, while Landale gives Chicago a backup center who can screen, shoot, rebound, and keep Wilson from being forced into center minutes too early.

The Chicago Bulls are officially entering the next phase of their rebuild, and free agency rumors are already heating up! 🐂🔥
On today’s episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down the latest Bulls rumors linking Chicago to Norman Powell, Jock Landale, and John Collins. Could Powell give the Bulls the starting shooting guard and scoring punch they desperately need? Is Landale the perfect backup big next to Nic Claxton? And does John Collins actually make sense with Chicago’s current frontcourt?
Haize also dives into why taking on bad contracts for first-round picks may not be as easy under the new NBA lottery rules, and why second-round picks may become the cleaner currency in salary dump trades.
Plus, did Bryson Graham miss an early opportunity by not jumping into the Isaiah Joe or Isaiah Stewart trades? The Bulls have plenty of second-round picks, but if they aren’t using them in the draft or trade market… what exactly is the plan?
