Should The Chicago Bulls Trade Up With The Jazz Or Wizards | How The Bulls Rebuild Accelerated
5/11/2026
🚨 THE CHICAGO BULLS BEAT THE ODDS AND LANDED THE NO. 4 PICK IN THE 2026 NBA DRAFT! 🚨
Is the luck finally starting to turn for Bulls fans? Chicago entered the lottery at No. 9 but hit its 20.3% chance to jump into the top four, moving all the way up to the No. 4 overall pick — the biggest lottery jump in the league this year. Now, Bryson Graham gets a massive gift to start his new era leading the Bulls’ front office.
With the Bulls already holding the No. 15 pick, nearly $60 million in cap space, and several roster spots to fill, this offseason suddenly feels much more exciting. Graham said the Bulls will not take shortcuts and will build this thing the right way — but does landing No. 4 change the timeline? Does it speed up the rebuild? Or is this simply the first major layer of the foundation?
Haize breaks down what the Bulls’ lottery win means, why this draft class being so deep makes the jump even bigger, and which prospects could be in play at No. 4 — including names like AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Cameron Boozer, Caleb Wilson, and more.

Can Bulls LAnd Top 4 Pick? | FACTS OR CAP: Bulls Trading No. 15 For Khaman Maluach?!
5/10/2026
🚨 THE CHICAGO BULLS’ DRAFT LOTTERY MOMENT IS HERE — AND BRYSON GRAHAM’S NEW ERA COULD CHANGE FAST. 🚨
The Bulls enter the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery sitting in the No. 9 lottery slot, but there is still a real chance Chicago gets lucky and jumps into the top 4. After moving on from the previous front office and handing the keys to Bryson Graham, the Bulls are starting with a cleaner slate built around young pieces like Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis — but lottery luck could accelerate the entire rebuild.
Chicago’s odds:
🎲 No. 1 pick: 4.50%
🎲 No. 2 pick: 4.83%
🎲 No. 3 pick: 5.23%
🎲 No. 4 pick: 5.71%
🔥 Top 4 odds: 20.3%
🏀 No. 9 pick: 50.75%
😬 No. 10 pick: 25.88%
👀 No. 11 pick: 3.01%
Haize breaks down what each outcome means for the Bulls and why landing in the top 4 could give Graham access to a franchise-changing prospect like AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Cameron Boozer, or Caleb Wilson. But even if Chicago stays at No. 9, names like Brayden Burries, Mikel Brown Jr., Labaron Philon Jr., and Aday Mara could still be in play.
PLUS…
We’re playing Facts or Cap on the rumored Bulls trade of the No. 15 pick for Suns center Khaman Maluach. The rumor is floating around online, but right now it has not been backed by any reputable source, and Bulls fans need to be careful about falling for unverified offseason noise.
Then we get into your voicemails:
📞 Why a good front office does what is best for the team, not just what fans want
📞 How Josh Giddey’s shooting and defense may impact Graham’s evaluation
📞 Why trading up depends on whether teams are actually willing to move down
📞 Why the Bulls need talent first — but cannot ignore a prospect’s floor
📞 Why this roster is too unsettled to draft only by position
The Bulls’ future could shift overnight. Lottery luck, draft discipline, and Graham’s decision-making are all about to be tested.

Bryson Graham Has Bulls Fans Excited… But Actions Must Follow | Should The Bulls Take Yaxel Lendeborg At No. 9
5/9/2026
🚨 DRAFT LOTTERY DAY IS ALMOST HERE… AND THE CHICAGO BULLS’ FUTURE COULD CHANGE FAST 🚨
The Bulls are entering one of the biggest moments of the offseason as the NBA Draft Lottery arrives tomorrow. Chicago could jump into the top 4, stay around No. 9, or slide back — but either way, this draft gives Bryson Graham his first real chance to add a major piece to the Bulls’ new foundation 👀🔥
And one name Bulls fans need to talk about?
Yaxel Lendeborg.
Is Lendeborg the type of high-floor, plug-and-play prospect the Bulls should target at No. 9? The 6’9”, 240-pound forward brings a powerful mix of:
💪 Physicality
📏 7’4” wingspan
🛡️ 1-through-5 defensive versatility
🧠 High basketball IQ
🎯 Improved floor spacing
🤝 Connector passing
🔥 Winning mentality
🏀 High motor and toughness
Lendeborg may be older at 23 on draft night, but his defensive impact, offensive versatility, rebounding, passing, and ability to fit into winning basketball make him one of the most interesting Bulls draft targets on the board.
Haize breaks down whether his high floor should make him the pick — or if Chicago needs to swing bigger under Graham.
PLUS…
The Bulls coaching search could have more quality options than fans realize. From Sean Sweeney, Sam Cassell, and Chris Quinn to Johnnie Bryant, Tiago Splitter, and Rajon Rondo, Chicago should have real candidates available. Graham has already made it clear that the next Bulls coach must be smart, high-character, capable on both sides of the ball, and able to develop players.
We also talk about Michael Reinsdorf’s apology to Bulls fans, why it was good to hear, why it created some hope… and why years of Bulls disappointment still make it hard to fully trust ownership until actions follow the words 😬
Then we get into your voicemails on Josh Giddey, why real change still has to happen, Graham’s early approval from fans, second-round draft strategy, and whether the Bulls finally have someone with a real vision.

Bryson Graham’s SLAP Blueprint Could Change EVERYTHING For The Bulls
5/8/2026
🚨 FACTS OR CAP: WHAT DID BRYSON GRAHAM REALLY TELL BULLS FANS? 🚨
Bryson Graham’s introductory press conference gave Chicago Bulls fans a LOT to react to — and now it’s time to separate the real takeaways from the overreactions 👀🔥
Graham made it clear that the Bulls want to build with SLAP:
💪 Size
📏 Length
⚡ Athleticism
😤 Physicality
He emphasized building a defensive identity, adding versatile two-way players, and following the model of teams like Oklahoma City and Boston, where size, switching, and lineup flexibility are the foundation of winning basketball. Graham specifically talked about wanting players who can guard at the point of attack, switch onto wings, and even hold up against bigger players.
But does that mean Josh Giddey is getting traded?
Not so fast.
Haize breaks down why Bulls fans may be jumping too far too soon. Graham’s comments definitely signal that the roster will be evaluated, but that does NOT automatically mean Giddey is out. For now, that rumor is CAP — but Giddey will have to prove he can stay healthy, defend well enough, and fit the new identity.
PLUS…
🔥 The Bulls are officially in a long-term rebuild
👀 No player is truly untouchable
😳 Monty Williams rumors need context
🏀 Sean Sweeney keeps coming up as a real coaching candidate
🎲 Latest 2026 mock drafts should have Bulls fans sweating
Graham called the Bulls a team on the ground floor, said they will “get it in the mud,” and made it clear there will be no shortcuts. That’s a good thing — but it also means this first draft and coaching hire have to hit.
And with mock drafts connecting Chicago to high-upside but risky prospects like Nate Ament, Aday Mara, Chris Cenac Jr., Caleb Wilson, and Cameron Carr, Bulls fans should be excited… but also a little nervous. Graham was hired for talent evaluation. Now he has to prove it immediately.

Bryson Graham’s First Big Test: Nail The Bulls Draft 🚨
5/7/2026
🚨 BRYSON GRAHAM’S FIRST NBA DRAFT WITH THE CHICAGO BULLS COULD TELL US EVERYTHING 🚨
The Bulls hired Bryson Graham to reset the scouting spine of the organization — and now his first major test is coming fast: the 2026 NBA Draft 👀🔥
Graham’s background in New Orleans shows a clear pattern. He has been tied to talent evaluation, player development, scouting, and roster-building roles across 15 seasons, and his draft profile points toward specific archetypes: long two-way wings, oversized defensive guards, smart connectors, and mobile rim-protection upside. His public résumé is tied more to players with physical tools, defensive versatility, processing, and developmental upside than pure empty scoring flash.
That matters because the Bulls have multiple chances to reshape the roster.
🏀 Own first-round pick: No. 9
🎲 Portland first-round pick: No. 15
🔥 Pelicans/Boston second-round pick: No. 38
👀 Denver second-round pick: No. 56
So who fits Graham’s style?
At No. 9, names like Aday Mara, Brayden Burries, and Nate Ament stand out as possible Bulls targets. Mara gives Chicago a true structural center with size, efficiency, and passing. Burries gives the Bulls a strong two-way guard who can shoot and play with Josh Giddey. Ament fits the long-forward archetype if Chicago wants to build a massive, interchangeable frontcourt around Matas Buzelis and Noa Essengue.
At No. 15, the conversation shifts to Jayden Quaintance, Cameron Carr, and Dailyn Swain. Quaintance is the medical-upside swing. Carr brings shotmaking with size. Swain feels like the classic Graham wing: downhill force, rebounding, passing, defensive tools, and connective offense.
Then in the second round, the Bulls could look for value with names like Alex Karaban, Ryan Conwell, Tarris Reed Jr., Izaiyah Nelson, Tyler Bilodeau, and Otega Oweh — depending on whether Chicago needs shooting, center depth, defensive activity, or plug-and-play rotation value.
Haize breaks down which players fit Graham’s scouting style, why Chicago should avoid chasing the loudest prospect in the room, and why multiple quality swings may be smarter than trading up too aggressively.
The Bulls say they are at the ground floor. This draft is the first layer of the foundation.

BRYSON GRAHAM SPEAKS! Bulls New Era Has NO SHORTCUTS | Reinsdorf Apologizes As Graham Era Begins
5/6/2026
🚨 BRYSON GRAHAM HAS OFFICIALLY SPOKEN AS THE NEW LEADER OF THE CHICAGO BULLS FRONT OFFICE — AND HIS MESSAGE WAS CLEAR: NO SHORTCUTS. 🚨
The Chicago Bulls introduced Bryson Graham as their new Senior VP / lead basketball executive, and this press conference gave Bulls fans the clearest look yet at what the new era could look like.
Michael Reinsdorf started by doing something Bulls fans have been waiting to hear for years: he apologized and took accountability for the state of the franchise 😳
But the biggest message from both Reinsdorf and Graham was simple:
🔥 No shortcuts
🏀 Build the right way
🧠 Invest in the right people
📈 Lean into talent evaluation
🤝 Create a collaborative front office
👀 Develop young players instead of rushing the process
Graham made it clear that the Bulls are in a developmental stage, and he does not plan to rush the turnaround. He talked about transparency, building a sustainable culture, adding to the front office staff, keeping some current personnel, and making sure everyone in the room has a voice.
This is a major shift from what Bulls fans saw under the previous regime.
Haize breaks down why Graham’s self-awareness matters, why Reinsdorf’s accountability was important, what “no shortcuts” actually means, and why this offseason becomes the first real layer of the Bulls’ new foundation.
PLUS…
👀 Graham says the Bulls have flexibility this summer
🎲 Chicago has two first-round picks
🏀 He wants length at every position
😳 He hesitated on saying any player is untouchable
🧠 The coaching search starts next week
🔥 Graham wants a smart, high-character coach who can coach BOTH sides of the ball and develop the roster
The Bulls finally sound like they understand where they are. Now they have to prove the plan with action.

Bulls’ New Era: Graham's Choice for GM, Thibs Rumors, Lewin Buzz & Buzelis Leap
5/6/2026
🚨 COULD TOM THIBODEAU REALLY RETURN TO THE CHICAGO BULLS? 🚨
The Bulls’ offseason just got even more interesting.
With Bryson Graham officially hired as Chicago’s new Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations, the next major domino is the head coaching search — and now a very familiar name is back in the conversation: Tom Thibodeau 👀🔥
Thibodeau is reportedly open to a Bulls reunion if Graham approaches him. And on paper, it’s easy to understand the appeal.
He brings:
🔥 Instant culture
😤 Defensive identity
🏀 Proven head coaching experience
👀 Familiarity with Chicago
💪 Accountability from day one
But here’s the real question…
Does Thibodeau actually fit the new Bulls timeline?
Graham’s hire feels like a move toward the future — younger, more developmental, more focused on talent evaluation and long-term team building. So would hiring a 68-year-old veteran coach from the franchise’s past push the Bulls forward… or pull them back into old habits?
PLUS… the Bulls are giving Graham full autonomy to rebuild the front office, and Chicago is still expected to pursue Boston Celtics assistant GM Dave Lewin for a role after his interview reportedly impressed with analytics and organizational strategy. That could be a massive sign that the Bulls are finally serious about modernizing basketball operations.
And we have to talk about Matas Buzelis.
After a huge year-two leap, Buzelis may be positioned for a breakout season. His scoring, rebounding, assists, blocks, and role all grew dramatically — and with a new head coach coming in, the Bulls may need to make his development one of the biggest priorities of the Graham era.
This episode breaks down Thibs, Graham’s first major decisions, Lewin’s possible front office fit, and whether Buzelis can become the face of the next Bulls era.

Chicago’s New Boss Is HERE! Bryson Graham Gets The Keys | Who Will Be His Head Coach Hire?
5/5/2026
🚨 THE CHICAGO BULLS HAVE OFFICIALLY HIRED BRYSON GRAHAM — AND THE NEW ERA STARTS NOW 🚨
The Bulls have made their front office decision, hiring Bryson Graham as the franchise’s new Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations 👀🔥
This is a major shift for Chicago.
After weeks of rumors around Matt Lloyd, Dennis Lindsey, Dave Lewin, and other finalists, the Bulls chose Graham — a 39-year-old executive known across the league as an elite talent evaluator with a strong scouting background and a track record of helping identify and develop young talent.
Graham spent 15 years in New Orleans, rising from intern to general manager, before joining the Atlanta Hawks last offseason. His résumé includes scouting and acquisition connections to players like Herb Jones, Trey Murphy III, Dyson Daniels, Jose Alvarado, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker. Now, he inherits a Bulls team with major offseason flexibility, including two top-15 picks, three selections in the top 38, and a projected $65 million in cap space.
But this hire also raises huge questions…
🔥 Is Graham the talent evaluator Chicago desperately needed?
👀 Does this mean the Bulls are going full long-game rebuild?
🏀 Will Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis, and the current young core be safe?
🧠 How big will Graham build out the front office around him?
🎯 Who becomes the next Bulls head coach?
Haize breaks down why this move matters, what it tells us about the Bulls’ future, and why Graham’s first major decisions could reveal everything about the direction of the franchise.
PLUS… we dive into the coaching candidates who could make sense in the Graham era, including Micah Nori, James Borrego, Chris Quinn, Johnnie Bryant, Sam Cassell, Jamahl Mosley, Willie Green, and Tiago Splitter.
This is not just a hire. This is the first real test of whether the Bulls are finally serious about building differently.

BREAKING NEWS: Chicago Picks Bryson Graham! Did The Bulls Get This RIGHT?
5/4/2026
The Bulls are hiring Bryson Graham as the franchise’s new Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations, giving Chicago a fresh voice, a younger basketball mind, and a front office leader known around the NBA for his scouting eye and player evaluation 🔥
Graham spent 15 years in New Orleans, rising from intern to general manager, before joining the Atlanta Hawks as senior vice president of basketball operations last offseason. ESPN previously reported that Graham’s New Orleans résumé included involvement with strong draft and player-development finds like Herb Jones, Trey Murphy III, Yves Missi, Jose Alvarado, Naji Marshall, Jordan Hawkins, and Dyson Daniels.
But here’s the real question Bulls fans have to ask…
👀 Did Chicago just land the right modern team-builder?
🔥 Why did Graham win out over Matt Lloyd and Dennis Lindsey?
🏀 Can his scouting background fix years of draft misses and roster confusion?
💰 How aggressive will he be with cap space, trades, and free agency?
🎲 What does this mean with the NBA Draft Lottery and Draft Combine coming fast?
This is not just another front office hire. This is the first major domino in what could be a franchise-defining offseason for the Chicago Bulls.
Haize breaks down why Graham’s rise matters, what makes this hire different, why Bulls fans should be excited, and why this move still comes with pressure. Chicago has draft capital, cap flexibility, young players, and a fanbase desperate for direction.
Now Bryson Graham has to prove he can turn potential into a real plan.

BULLS DREAM TEAM COMING?! Matt Lloyd + Dave Lewin Buzz Gets REAL
5/4/2026
🚨 THE CHICAGO BULLS FRONT OFFICE SEARCH MAY BE CLOSE TO OVER 🚨
The Bulls may finally be nearing a decision on their next lead executive — and all signs continue pointing toward Matt Lloyd 👀🔥
Lloyd, the current Minnesota Timberwolves GM, has become one of the most talked-about names in Chicago’s search. His résumé is strong, his league-wide reputation is respected, and his history with the Bulls makes this potential reunion even more interesting. Lloyd spent 12 seasons in Chicago before leaving for Orlando in 2012, and his connection to the Reinsdorfs and John Paxson could matter in this process.
But the bigger question is this…
🏀 Are the Bulls just making the safe hire — or the right hire?
Haize breaks down why Lloyd makes sense, why some Bulls fans may still be skeptical, and why his experience in scouting, communication, and front office leadership could be exactly what Chicago needs.
PLUS… the Bulls may not stop with Lloyd 😳
Could Chicago pair him with Dave Lewin as GM and analytics leader? Lewin has helped build one of the NBA’s best organizations in Boston, with experience in scouting, player personnel, analytics, the G League, and the Celtics’ championship-level front office. If the Bulls land Lloyd, Lewin, and potentially Micah Nori as head coach, this could be the kind of modern structure Bulls fans have been begging for.
And the timing could not be bigger…
📅 Executive hire expected soon
🎲 NBA Draft Lottery this Sunday
🏀 NBA Draft Combine May 10–17
👔 Head coach hire could follow
📋 NBA Draft on June 23
💰 Free agency opens June 30
This week could define the next era of Chicago Bulls basketball.

BULLS DOUBLE HIRE COMING?! Front Office Search Gets Interesting | Bulls Big Man Hunt Begins! Duren, Kessler & Williams Linked
5/1/2026
🚨 THE CHICAGO BULLS OFFSEASON JUST GOT EVEN MORE INTERESTING 🚨
Could the Bulls get creative and hire two of their front office finalists?
With Dave Lewin joining the finalist mix alongside names like Matt Lloyd, Dennis Lindsey, and Bryson Graham, Chicago may have a chance to rethink how its basketball operations department is built. Instead of the traditional No. 1 and No. 2 setup, could the Bulls build a more modern, collaborative front office like the Celtics or Thunder?
Haize breaks down why a Matt Lloyd + Dave Lewin or Dennis Lindsey + Dave Lewin pairing could make sense, how Lewin’s analytics-driven Celtics background could help modernize Chicago’s decision-making, and why this may be the perfect time for the Bulls to change their outdated structure.
PLUS… the Bulls are projected to have major cap space and are already being connected to frontcourt targets like Jalen Duren, Walker Kessler, and Mark Williams. With Chicago badly needing size, rebounding, rim protection, and interior athleticism, could one of these restricted free agent bigs become a serious target?
And we dive into the latest 2026 NBA Mock Draft options for the Bulls, including names like Brayden Burries, Aday Mara, Jayden Quaintance, Cameron Carr, Sergio de Larrea, Ryan Conwell, Tyler Bilodeau, and Izaiyah Nelson. With four draft picks and two top-15 selections, Chicago cannot afford to miss.
The Bulls’ offseason is moving fast — and the decisions made now could define the next era of basketball in Chicago.

BULLS TARGETING PEYTON WATSON?! Offseason Rumors Heating Up | Can Matas Make Deni Type Leap?
4/30/2026
🚨 THE CHICAGO BULLS OFFSEASON RUMORS ARE HEATING UP 🚨
The Bulls have once again been linked to Denver Nuggets restricted free agent Peyton Watson, and this could be one of the most interesting names to watch this summer 👀
Watson has drawn major praise around the league for his growth as a defender, ballhandler, shot creator, and isolation scorer. With teams like the Bulls, Lakers, and Nets expected to have the spending power to put pressure on Denver, could Chicago make a serious run at the rising wing?
PLUS… the Bulls front office and coaching searches may be connected in a BIG way. If Matt Lloyd lands the lead executive job in Chicago, Micah Nori could become a strong head coaching candidate after helping Minnesota turn into a true Western Conference contender.
And we have to talk about Matas Buzelis 🔥
Buzelis may be ready for a major leap, with comparisons to the breakout of Deni Avdija. After nearly doubling his scoring average, increasing his three-point volume, and finishing the season strong, Matas may be the closest thing the Bulls have to a future star — if the new front office and coaching staff develop him the right way.
This offseason could define the next era of Chicago Bulls basketball.

4/29/2026
🚨 THE BULLS FRONT OFFICE SEARCH JUST TOOK ANOTHER TWIST 🚨
The Chicago Bulls may be closing in on their next lead executive… but now the race has gotten even more interesting 👀
Matt Lloyd still feels like the name to watch, but Boston Celtics assistant GM Dave Lewin has officially entered the mix — and that could mean Chicago is thinking bigger than just one hire.

🔥 Matt Lloyd as President of Basketball Operations?
🧠 Dave Lewin as GM?
📊 A stronger analytics + scouting foundation?
🏗️ A real rebuild plan built the right way?
PLUS… former Bulls are showing out all over the NBA Playoffs 😬
Ayo Dosunmu. Wendell Carter Jr. Luke Kornet. Coby White. Alex Caruso.
All of them are reminders of how badly the previous front office mismanaged talent, trade value, and roster direction.
The Bulls’ new era could begin any day now… and they CANNOT afford to get this decision wrong.
