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

The 🔥 trade deadline drama continues!

The Chicago Bulls have officially traded Ayo Dosunmu to the Minnesota Timberwolves, per ESPN sources.

In return, Chicago lands former lottery guard Rob Dillingham, forward Leonard Miller, and FOUR second-round picks. The Wolves also receive Julian Phillips in the deal.

So what does this mean for the Bulls’ direction? 🤔

Is this a full youth movement?

Are the Bulls stacking assets for something bigger?

And what does this say about the front office’s long-term plan?

We break down:

📊 Why the Bulls made this move

🧠 What Dillingham brings to Chicago

💰 The value of FOUR second-round picks

🔄 What’s next for this roster

Bulls fans… buckle up. This rebuild might be moving FAST.

🚨 The Chicago Bulls are STILL making moves… but are they actually improving? 🚨

In the latest trade, the Bulls send Dalen Terry to New York for Guerschon Yabusele, adding frontcourt depth — but raising even more questions about direction.

Meanwhile:

• The Coby White era officially ends after being “liquidated” to Charlotte.
• Collin Sexton and Ousmane Dieng arrive in Chicago.
• The roster is now overloaded with guards.
• The Bulls have stacked second-round picks and cap flexibility.

Is Arturas Karnisovas building something long-term… or just spinning the wheels again?

Haize breaks down:

🔥 Why the Dalen Terry trade feels lateral

🔥 What Yabusele actually brings (if anything)

🔥 Whether Sexton & Dieng are real pieces or flip candidates

🔥 Why this guard-heavy roster can’t stay this way

🔥 And the BIG question: Is AK cooking… or buying time?

Bulls fans, this might be the most confusing deadline in years.

Drop your thoughts below and let’s talk about it.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS OUT OF CHICAGO! 🚨

The Chicago Bulls have traded Coby White and Mike Conley Jr. to the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for Collin Sexton, Ousmane Dieng, and three second-round picks, per ESPN sources.

What does this mean for the Bulls' direction? 🤔

Is this a retool around Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis?

Is AK stacking assets for something even bigger?

Collin Sexton brings downhill scoring and edge. Ousmane Dieng adds length and upside. And three second-round picks add flexibility. But moving on from Coby White? That’s a statement.

Haize breaks down:

• Why the Bulls made this move
• How Sexton fits in Billy Donovan’s system
• What Dieng’s development timeline looks like
• Whether Chicago is building or preparing for another trade

This is the kind of trade that shifts a franchise’s direction.

The Chicago Bulls are officially the MOST ACTIVE team at the NBA Trade Deadline… and they’re not done yet. 👀🔥

Arturas Karnisovas has already:

✅ Traded Nikola Vučević to the Boston Celtics

✅ Landed Jaden Ivey from the Detroit Pistons

✅ Added Anfernee Simons & Mike Conley

✅ Stacked second-round picks

But now comes the real question…

🚨 Are Ivey, Simons, or Conley just trade pieces to be flipped AGAIN?

🚨 Is Coby White or Ayo Dosunmu next?

🚨 Are the Bulls positioning themselves as a third-team “hub” to stack assets?

🚨 Or are they hunting for their center of the future?

With $27.9M in trade exception space, $10M below the tax, and massive cap flexibility coming this offseason, Chicago has options. Yves Missi, Day’Ron Sharpe, Nic Claxton, Jakob Poeltl, Ivica Zubac — could one of them be next?

This deadline feels different. It feels aggressive. It feels unfinished.

And Bulls fans? You finally have movement. 🐂🔥

Tap in as Haize breaks down what this means, what’s next, and whether this front office is building something real… or just reshuffling the deck.

🚨 NBA Trade Deadline week is HERE and the Chicago Bulls are finally giving the league a different vibe… but don’t expect a blockbuster.

On today’s Chicago Bulls Central, I break down KC Johnson’s latest update on Artūras Karnišovas and the front office: the Bulls aren’t making a “big swing” — instead they’re hunting young, athletic players on rookie-scale deals or restricted free agents who’ve fallen out of favor 👀

That includes a new name: Bennedict Mathurin. We talk what he brings, what the concerns are, and what Chicago would realistically have to give up. Plus, why Nikola Vučević just sent an urgent message to the front office about what this roster is missing: size, athleticism, and big wings 💪

We also get into:

• The Bulls landing Dario Šarić and what it means with Zach Collins banged up
• Why the Bulls are being viewed as a potential trade “hub” 🌀
• The huge decision ahead: **Coby White vs **Ayo Dosunmu — and why the market may decide it
• A quick Bulls vs Bucks preview with **Giannis Antetokounmpo out and why Chicago can’t play down to competition 😤

👇 Tap in, drop your trade ideas, and let me know: Would YOU take a swing on Mathurin? And which guard are you keeping — Coby or Ayo?

The Chicago Bulls are once again confusing, fascinating, and full of questions — and that’s exactly what we’re breaking down today. 😅🔥

We dive into why the Bulls’ most unconventional lineups are suddenly working, how Tre Jones has become the quiet glue of multiple elite pairings, and what the data says about the surprising success of Jones + Coby White.

Then we pivot to the trade deadline — where the Bulls suddenly have some of the league’s most intriguing assets in Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu. Are the Knicks or Rockets real fits? What kind of return should Chicago be chasing? And how aggressive should the front office actually be?

Finally, we confront the tough reality around Patrick Williams. Billy Donovan has clearly changed direction, P-Will’s role has evaporated, and the organization is finally being forced to face what this pick has become.

Plus — voicemails from the community on trading Vooch, trusting this team’s energy, and what direction the Bulls should be heading.

Tap in, Bulls fans… because this one hits every nerve. 🐂🔥
