The Chicago Bulls’ season is spiraling — but is the tank finally paying off?

On today’s episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down whether Arturas Karnisovas missed AGAIN by moving Ousmane Dieng — who is now flashing major upside in Milwaukee. Did the Bulls prioritize short-term size over long-term potential?

We also dive into:

• Why trading Dieng for Nick Richards could haunt Chicago
• Why missing out on Jeremy Sochan isn’t the disaster some think
• The Kevin Huerter trade quietly looking like a WIN
• Why the Yves Missi deal fell apart at the deadline
• Bulls officially OUT of the Play-In picture
• Is this tank too late… or perfectly timed?
• Mock draft madness: Caleb Wilson at No. 4?!
• What MUST happen for this season to be worth it

With Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis, Jaden Ivey and a loaded draft ahead, the Bulls have flexibility… but do they have execution?

Is this chaos? Or is this finally a direction?

The Chicago Bulls aren’t just losing games — they’re becoming hard to watch. Is this tanking? Or is it simply dysfunction?

On today’s episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down why the Bulls’ current direction (or lack thereof) is more concerning than the losses themselves. Tanking may be happening — but without real development or structure, what’s the actual goal?

We dive into:

• Why the Bulls look like they’re bottoming out to avoid the Play-In
• Why this doesn’t feel like a multi-year rebuild
• The bigger issue: no clear developmental plan
• Patrick Williams playing more minutes than Matas Buzelis 👀
• Whether Billy Donovan should survive a potential 5th losing season in 6 years

Plus:

• Jeremy Sochan hitting the open market — why he makes perfect sense for Chicago
• Why the Bulls failed to land Yves Missi at the trade deadline
• What “Second Chance U” really says about AK’s team-building strategy
• Voicemail reactions on the Ayo Dosunmu trade fallout

The Bulls have flexibility. They have young players. They have draft assets.

But do they have a plan?

The Chicago Bulls fall to the Boston Celtics 124-105, and it was the kind of loss that raises more questions than answers. No Bull scored 20 points, even with six players in double figures. Rob Dillingham led Chicago with 16, while Matas Buzelis and Collin Sexton added 15 each—but the Bulls never found a true go-to option or consistent momentum.

We’re breaking it all down LIVE: what this “balanced” scoring actually says about this roster, who stood out (good or bad), and what needs to change fast as the Bulls keep searching for an identity.

The Chicago Bulls are officially in chaos mode — and it’s not even subtle anymore. 😵‍💫 In today’s Chicago Bulls Central, Haize runs through a wild batch of Bulls news: Collin Sexton getting hit with a $35K fine after a viral moment vs the Nets, Guerschon Yabusele explaining why he took a pay cut to get real minutes again, and Rob Dillingham’s brutally honest quote that screams the Bulls have accepted the “for now” reality of this season.

But the bigger conversation is the one Bulls fans can’t escape: what direction is this franchise actually headed in? The roster is overloaded with guards, the frontcourt is still a patchwork, and the trade deadline felt more reactive than visionary. On top of that, Chicago may have stumbled into the most “perfect tank” situation imaginable — a roster that tries hard, but still can’t close games.

💬 Sound off: Is this finally a reset… or just a different version of the same cycle?

The Chicago Bulls are entering full “soft tank” territory — whether they admit it or not.

With the NBA’s fourth-hardest remaining schedule, massive roster turnover at the trade deadline, and seven new players trying to build chemistry on the fly, the Bulls may be staring at a lottery finish.

On this episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down:

• Why the Bulls’ brutal remaining schedule could actually be a blessing
• The difference between a hard tank and Chicago’s “soft tank” approach
• Whether Artūras Karnišovas is truly committed to building through the draft
• Why this offseason could be the real turning point
• The risk of returning to “competitive mediocrity” next season
• Concerns about Billy Donovan leading a youth-focused reset
• Injury updates on Josh Giddey, Tre Jones, and the evaluation timeline

Are the Bulls finally prioritizing the future?

Or is this just a temporary dip before another aggressive offseason swing?

The Chicago Bulls fall to the Brooklyn Nets 123-115, extending their losing streak to five straight games.

On this LIVE postgame show of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down:

• Anfernee Simons leading the Bulls with 23 points
• Collin Sexton adding 21 points off the bench
• Defensive lapses and late-game execution issues
• What this 5-game skid really means for the direction of this team

Despite strong scoring performances from Simons and Sexton, the Bulls couldn’t close the gap against a Nets squad that capitalized on key moments down the stretch.

Is this part of a bigger plan? Is this development growing pains? Or is this something more concerning?

Join the live conversation as we analyze the loss, discuss rotation decisions, and look ahead to what’s next for Chicago.

The Chicago Bulls have officially turned the page — but is this the start of something real?

On this episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down the first 1–2 games from the new-look Bulls roster, including early impressions on:

• Jaden Ivey’s upside and RFA future
• Anfernee Simons’ scoring explosion
• Guerschon Yabusele emerging as a possible trade steal
• Nick Richards’ mobility and defense at center
• Rob Dillingham’s development and confidence

Are these flashes sustainable? And more importantly… is there any real reason to trust Arturas Karnisovas’ long-term plan?

We also preview Bulls vs Nets and discuss injury updates on Josh Giddey and Tre Jones.

Bulls basketball is entering evaluation mode. The question is — will the front office execute?

The Chicago Bulls trade deadline shake-up was just the start. Now comes the part that truly defines the franchise.

On this episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down the three critical moves the Bulls cannot afford to get wrong after the deadline:

• Using their massive draft capital wisely 📝
• Attacking restricted free agency with purpose 💰
• Making the right calls on their own free agents 🔄

With eight first-round picks (and possibly more) plus 13 second-round picks through 2032, the Bulls have flexibility most teams dream of. But flexibility only matters if you execute.

Can Arturas Karnisovas hit on at least one major restricted free agent like Walker Kessler, Jalen Duren, Bennedict Mathurin or Austin Reaves?

Will Chicago commit fully to building around Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis and Noa Essengue?

And the biggest question of all…

Is Billy Donovan the right coach to guide a young reset? 🤔

This offseason could finally determine whether the Bulls escape the treadmill of mediocrity — or step right back onto it.

🐂 Chicago Bulls news

🐂 Bulls offseason strategy

🐂 NBA draft capital

🐂 Restricted free agency targets

🐂 Billy Donovan future

This is where the real rebuild (or retool) begins.
