🐂 The Chicago Bulls rebuild is officially underway — but what does the blueprint actually look like?

After trading away several key players at the trade deadline, the Bulls have positioned themselves for a massive 2026 offseason, with cap space, draft picks, and young players who could form the next core of the franchise.

On today’s episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down every major asset the Bulls have heading into the 2026 offseason and what it means for the future of the team.

At the center of it all are Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis, two players who look like the pillars of Chicago’s rebuild. Giddey continues to develop as one of the NBA’s most unique playmakers while Buzelis flashes star-level upside in his second season.

But they’re far from the only players whose futures matter.

Young players like Leonard Miller and Rob Dillingham still have something to prove, while veterans like Tre Jones and Jalen Smith may play important roles in helping the Bulls build a stable roster.

And then there’s the biggest wildcard of all: the 2026 offseason.

With $115 million in cap flexibility and multiple draft picks, the Bulls will have the opportunity to reshape the roster completely — if Artūras Karnišovas gets it right.

🐂 The Chicago Bulls may finally be getting Jaden Ivey back soon.

After weeks with very few updates, the Bulls have finally provided positive news regarding Jaden Ivey’s knee injury, assigning the former top-five pick to the Windy City Bulls for practice as part of his recovery process.

On today’s episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down what this update means and whether Ivey could return to the Bulls lineup before the end of the season.

With Ivey set to become a restricted free agent this offseason, the Bulls must evaluate whether he can be a long-term fit next to Josh Giddey in Chicago’s future backcourt.

We also recap the Bulls’ 4-game Western Conference road trip, where Chicago went 2-3 with wins over the Phoenix Suns and Golden State Warriors but losses to the Lakers, Clippers, and Kings.

Despite the mixed results, the Bulls remain 9th in the NBA Draft lottery standings, keeping their odds for a high pick very much alive.

🔥 Topics covered in today’s episode

• Chicago Bulls finish road trip 2-3

• Current Bulls lottery positioning

• Jaden Ivey injury update and G League assignment

🐂 The Chicago Bulls rebuild continues to raise questions… and Bulls fans are starting to notice.

On today’s episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down the confusing direction of the Chicago Bulls after their win over the Phoenix Suns followed by a frustrating loss to the Sacramento Kings.

Are the Bulls tanking whether they want to admit it or not?

Despite coaching decisions focused on winning, the Bulls continue to struggle against the league’s worst teams while competing against playoff contenders.

Meanwhile, Collin Sexton is making a strong case to stay in Chicago long term. Since arriving at the trade deadline, Sexton has become one of the Bulls' most consistent scorers and may be forcing the front office to rethink their offseason plans.

We also discuss Josh Giddey’s recent comparison between the Bulls rebuild and the Oklahoma City Thunder turnaround, and why that comparison may raise more questions than answers for Chicago.

🔥 Topics covered in today’s episode:

• Are the Chicago Bulls tanking whether they realize it or not?

• Why Collin Sexton may have earned a future in Chicago

• Evaluating the Bulls trade deadline acquisitions

• Josh Giddey comparing the Bulls rebuild to OKC
