The Chicago Bulls' young core is making waves, with Josh Giddey and Coby White emerging as the NBA's second-best backcourt since the All-Star break. Giddey's impact goes beyond stats, creating almost more points off assists this season than Alex Caruso scored in his entire Bulls tenure. White's scoring streak and Matas Buzelis' development add to the excitement. The Bulls finished their West Coast trip 4-2, securing wins against formidable opponents like the Rockets and Lakers. With a favorable schedule ahead, Chicago looks to build on their newfound chemistry and potential. Will this young core, led by Giddey and White, propel the Bulls back into playoff contention? Tune in to hear how the Bulls are quietly constructing a scrappy, promising foundation for the future.Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/BullsCentralPodGet at us:Email: BullsCentralPod@gmail.comTwitter:@BullsCentralPodPhone: (773) 270-2799Our Sponsors:* Check out Cigars International and use my code BULLS20 for a great deal: https://www.cigarsinternational.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/chicago-bulls-central/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week on The Big Number, Tom Haberstroh & Dan Devine are all-in on Amen Thompson of the Houston Rockets. Despite being only 22 years-old, Thompson's stock is rising at a seemingly improbable pace. With numbers that put him at the All-Star level even now, does Amen Thompson have the potential to become an MVP-caliber player such as Jimmy Butler or Kawhi Leonard? And, if so, would the Houston Rockets DARE to trade him away at the deadline?Dan brings in his four Little Numbers to showcase the similarities between Amen Thompson and NBA icons such as Alex Caruso, Paul George, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and more. The duo also talk a few trades as the NBA trade deadline approaches on Thursday evening, including the Milwaukee Bucks trading Khris Middleton to the Washington Wizards for Kyle Kuzma. WHY would the Bucks trade for Kuzma when his recent play has been dismal at best? Or is this the trade before the real trade for Milwaukee?

Kevin and Ekam praise Giannis's MVP-caliber play and his evolving chemistry with Damian Lillard. They also discuss the challenges opposing defenses face in stopping Giannis from getting into the paint, a key area where the Bucks' dominance continues. The duo also reflects on the Atlanta Hawks' struggles to build a consistent identity, noting that Trae Young needs a reliable secondary scorer to help elevate the team.Moving on to the Houston Rockets, Ekam breaks down Jalen Green's highs and lows, suggesting the young guard needs to find a consistent rhythm and control his pace to become a star. They also discuss the Dallas Mavericks & Golden State Warriors scoring 48 threes in a game, and how the current NBA trend toward data-driven, analytically optimized play has led to a more homogenized style of basketball, impacting the uniqueness of teams. The conversation turns to LeBron James and Anthony Davis, with Ekam pointing out how their older, more physical style of play still holds weight in the modern game but isn't enough to make the Lakers title contenders without more roster moves. They close with thoughts on NBA trades, with a focus on Dennis Schröder's role in Brooklyn, potential moves for Zach LaVine and how Jimmy Butler's fit in Phoenix might not maximize his strengths for a title run.(00:55) - Thunder vs. Bucks preview(18:25) - NBA cup vibes in Las Vegas(28:40) - Andrew's peanut butter competition for a Shaq jersey(35:00) - Dame & Giannis are starting to click(39:00) - How can the Hawks keep building an identity?(44:55) - How far away are the Rockets?(50:30) - Why more threes isn't necessarily good for the NBA(56:45) - What's clicking for LeBron and AD?(1:01:55) - Could Dillon Harper challenge Cooper Flagg for top prospect?(1:06:55) - Dennis Schröder to the Warriors(1:12:40) - Potential NBA trades: Jimmy Butler & Zach Lavine(1:21:30) - Quick hitters

The CHGO Bulls crew discuss new reports that Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Lakers are interested in trading for Chicago Bulls star Zach LaVine.

The CHGO Bulls crew discuss Jonathan Givony's fresh Top 100 for the 2025 NBA Draft class, which has Duke's Cooper Flagg ranked #1. Flagg has been the consensus number one for awhile, despite being a 17-years-old freshman at Duke. Is he the prospect with superstar potential the Bulls desperately need? ESPN's first BPI rankings of the season dropped and the Bulls are surprisingly projected for 38 wins. Is the projection higher than it should be given the roster changes? Or are the Bulls going to be better than most expect? If they are that good, does that risk the chance of drafting Flagg or another high lottery pick? Matt and Will break it down on this edition of the CHGO Bulls Podcast.

Matt and Will also discuss a Zach LaVine for Ben Simmons trade proposed by ESPN's Chris Herring. Should the Bulls make that deal if the Nets demand significant assets on top of Simmons to take on Zach's contract?
