Are the rumors that the Oklahoma City Thunder are interested in Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams true?

If they are, this is a scenario some fans of the team think that the Bulls’ front office absolutely cannot screw up.

Are the rumors that the Oklahoma City Thunder are interested in Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams true? If they are, this is a scenario some fans of the team think that the Bulls’ front office absolutely cannot screw up.

Concerns that Chicago could see yet another talented young player walk out the door for nothing are understandable given the lack of action to prevent such a thing in the recent past by Bulls general manager Arturans Karnisovas and company. Could it end up happening once again with Williams’ free agency, or have they learned from their (many) mistakes in that regard?

The folks behind the “Bulls Central” YouTube channel took some time to put together a new clip making such a case themselves.

Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what they had to say about Williams as an Oklahoma City-bound free agency flight threat this offseason.

Could Nikola Topic fall to the Chicago Bulls at No. 11 in the 2024 NBA draft?

Why is the 6-foot-6 floor general sliding well before the big day finally rolls around?

Could Nikola Topic fall to the Chicago Bulls at No. 11 in the 2024 NBA draft? With a number of mock drafts tracking the Serbian Red Star point guard’s draft prospects, sending the Novi Sad native skidding down the low lottery in recent days, it is a fair question to ask.

But why is the 6-foot-6 floor general sliding well before the big day finally rolls around? Projected to be taken as high as No. 3 overall by some mock drafts earlier this offseason, a concerning if not career-threatening knee injury may have some potentially interested ball clubs nervous about using a good lottery pick on a player who might take longer than expected to get on the floor.

The hosts of the “CHGO Bulls” podcast took a deep dive into all fo the rumbles around Topic, as well as whether he might really fall to Chicago’s range. Check it out for yourself below!

Would you trade veteran Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine to the Utah Jazz for Jordan Clarkson and John Collins?

Would it be enough of a return for the oft-injured guard on a substantial contract?

Would you trade veteran Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine to the Utah Jazz for Jordan Clarkson and John Collins? Such a proposal was recently floated by ESPN cap guru Bobby Marks, and in the form he came up with, would send LaVine to Danny Ainge and Co. for Clarkson and Collins with no draft assets or cash.

Collins and Clarkson would immediately fill the voids of a big wing and a more modern big man that Chicago currently lacks, and if it does work out, they each have two years remaining on their tradeable contracts, making flipping them not so onerous.

The hosts of the “CHGO Bulls” podcast took a closer look at the proposed deal, and debated whether it would be enough of a return for the oft-injured guard on a substantial contract.

Are the Chicago Bulls trying to move up in the 2024 NBA draft to take Matas Buzelis?

Is this really a prospect that the Bulls will want to burn assets on to acquire?

There is buzz out there that the Chicago Bulls are trying to make a deal, Bulls fans. But don’t get too excited — not for an NBA player, as fans have been begging Arturas Karnisovas to do for literally years now, but to move up in the 2024 NBA draft.

Are the Bulls trying to move up to take Matas Buzelis? A 6-foot-10 string bean of a small forward weighing just 197 lbs., Buzelis last played in the G League, and is known for his shot-blocking abilities. He could really step up his 3-point shooting ability at the next level, with his going just 26.1% from beyond the arc, however.

Is this really a prospect that the Bulls will want to burn assets on to acquire?

Check out a clip recently put together by the folks behind the “Bulls Central” YouTube channel to get up to speed on what you need to know about him, which we embedded above for your viewing pleasure.

We’ve seen some interest from the Los Angeles Lakers and Philadelphia 76ers, but what about the Jazz?

Could the Utah Jazz be a trade partner for veteran Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine? By now, it is the NBA’s worst-kept secret that the Chicago Bulls are trying their hardest to find a new home for the UCLA alum.

To take a closer look at such a possibility and what sort of a return any deal with Utah and their general manager Danny Ainge might entail, the hosts of the “Locked On Bulls” podcast, Haize and Pat the Designer, focused on the possibility on a recent episode of their show.

For the most part, fans of the Chicago Bulls have been taking in the 2024 NBA offseason as general manager Arturas Karnisovas and the rest of the team’s front office reshape the team after several rough seasons.

Are the Chicago Bulls lowering their asking price for star guard Zach LaVine? Rumbles around the NBA media hint that this could very well be going down behind the scenes as Bulls general manager Arturas Karnisovas and the rest of the front office look to revamp the roster after a few disastrous seasons in a row.

Is there any optimism among fans for the future of the Chicago Bulls?

Is the growth of players like Ayo Dosunmu and Coby White plus some new assistant coaches going to be enough for fans?

Is there any optimism among fans for the future of the Chicago Bulls? After nearly three full NBA seasons of watching the Bulls’ front office simply elect to sit on their hands at the trade deadline and in the offseason, it can be hard for fans to believe the team’s execs have any vision for this team whatsoever.

But Chicago general manager Arturas Karnisovas promised us change was coming, you might say to yourself in this scenario. But Karnisovas did not outline what he meant when he said that, which past experience tells us could result in some very underwhelming outcomes for fans to be let down by. Is the growth of players like Ayo Dosunmu and Coby White plus some new assistant coaches going to be enough for fans?

The folks behind the “Bulls Central” YouTube channel recently took some time to look into how they are feeling about the future of this team.
