The New Orleans Pelicans have signed Bennedict Mathurin, the former Pacer and Clipper.  It's a team friendly deal that gives this "bucket getter" a chance to increase his value and hopefully cash in after one season in NOLA.  He'll need to improve his defense and passing but it's a reasonable gamble for GM Joe Dumars to take. 17:46 ...

Could Bryson Graham finally build a Chicago Bulls team worth spending on — and if he does, will ownership actually finish the job?On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down why Bulls fans do not need ownership spending recklessly right now. Chicago is rebuilding around Caleb Wilson, Matas Buzelis, Josh Giddey and a young core that still has major questions to answer. With the current CBA, there's a real difference between paying the luxury tax and pushing deep into apron restrictions, so spending just to prove a point would be bad roster management.But when the time comes? The excuses need to stop. The Bulls are valued at $6 billion, with Forbes estimating $160 million in operating income, while also noting Chicago has historically paid the luxury tax only once. That makes the eventual ownership test very real: if Graham develops a contender, will the Bulls actually pay like one?Haize lays out the triggers for when Bulls ownership should open the checkbook: Caleb Wilson becoming a legitimate star, Matas Buzelis proving he can be a true No. 2 or high-end No. 3, Josh Giddey proving the core works, the Bulls winning a playoff series, or a genuine difference-maker becoming available.Then the show shifts to the Bennedict Mathurin question. Do the Bulls actually need to rush into another scorer right now, or should 2026-27 be the year Chicago finds out what it already has in Dailyn Swain, Jaylin Sellers and Rob Dillingham? Swain brings size, downhill creation and two-way upside, while Sellers has a serious shooting résumé and already showed scoring flashes in Summer League.If Mathurin comes at a bargain price, he's worth discussing. But if the cost includes useful contracts, draft compensation, long-term money and major offensive usage, Haize explains why Chicago may be better off using this season as Bryson Graham's information season before attacking the scoring market in 2027.

Could the Chicago Bulls' next move come from another team's roster crunch?On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down five buy-low trade targets that Bryson Graham should at least call about as the Bulls continue building around Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis and Caleb Wilson.The conversation starts with Jordan Hawkins, who may be the best fit of the group. With New Orleans reportedly exploring ways to create roster and financial flexibility, Hawkins' movement shooting and connection to Graham's Pelicans background make him a fascinating Bulls target. Chicago badly needs high-volume shooting, and Hawkins could be the exact type of young reclamation swing that fits this rebuild.Haize also looks at Scoot Henderson, whose role in Portland has become more complicated after the Blazers added more backcourt talent. Is Scoot worth a true buy-low swing, or would the Bulls already having Giddey, Tre Jones, Rob Dillingham and Dailyn Swain make the fit too messy?Then the show shifts to Reed Sheppard, who might be the dream shooting fit next to Giddey, Caleb and Matas — but also the least likely to come cheap. Plus, Haize explains why Karlo Matković could be a smart developmental big if Chicago moves Jalen Smith, and why Jericho Sims only makes sense if the Bulls can replace Smith's spacing elsewhere.Plus, voicemails hit on the Lonzo Ball “what if,” Patrick Williams' trade value, why the Bulls should not rush a Jalen Smith trade, Bennedict Mathurin as a low-risk upside swing, Nic Claxton's impact and more.

Could the Chicago Bulls have the cleanest path to a Bennedict Mathurin sign-and-trade?On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down the latest Bulls rumors surrounding Bennedict Mathurin and why Chicago's possible sign-and-trade framework may stand out among reported suitors like the New Orleans Pelicans, Milwaukee Bucks, Dallas Mavericks and others. With Mathurin expected to command more than Chicago's room mid-level exception, a sign-and-trade could become the most realistic path — and a package involving Isaac Okoro plus second-round picks may be one of the smoother options for the Clippers.Haize also discusses why the Clippers may want meaningful value back instead of simply helping another team land Mathurin, how New Orleans' asset limitations and luxury-tax situation could affect the market, and why Chicago's front office under Bryson Graham still appears willing to stay active if the right opportunity presents itself.Then the focus shifts to Nic Claxton, who has finally arrived at the Advocate Center in Bulls gear. Claxton's first day in Chicago is a reminder of how important he could be for Tiago Splitter's defense, especially around young pieces like Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis. Can Claxton shore up the Bulls' rim protection, regain his defensive impact and prove the trade was worth the cap-space gamble?Plus, Haize reacts to voicemails on national doubt surrounding the Bulls, why games are not won on paper, whether Chicago could exceed expectations, and why Cam Thomas may not fit the Bulls' preferred style despite his scoring ability.

Howard Beck of The Ringer joins the Bulls Podcast to break down Chicago's offseason, Caleb Wilson's outlook as the No. 4 pick, and where the Bulls stack up in the Eastern Conference. He also shares his thoughts on the NBA's blockbuster offseason, the Wizards' new-look roster, Kawhi Leonard's uncertain future, and KC and Cam wrap up the episode by discussing the Bulls' reported interest in Bennedict Mathurin.

Are the Chicago Bulls done making moves, or is Bryson Graham keeping one chair open for a reason?On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down why the Bulls may enter the regular season with their 15th full-time roster spot open. After days of smoke around Bennedict Mathurin, including reported interest from Chicago and praise from the Bulls' coaching staff, local reporting has suggested that the interest may be overstated. That does not completely kill the possibility, but it does make the Bulls' bigger priority clear: flexibility.Haize explains why keeping the final roster spot open may line up with Bryson Graham's front-office philosophy. Instead of rushing into a restricted free-agent sign-and-trade or adding a veteran just to fill the bench, Chicago could preserve flexibility to help facilitate trades, take on salary, or collect future draft capital if the right opportunity appears.Then the conversation gets bigger: Should the Bulls be watching the Orlando Magic and a potential second-apron crunch involving Paolo Banchero? If Orlando ever reaches a point where Banchero becomes available, should Chicago be aggressive even if the fit with Matas Buzelis and Caleb Wilson is imperfect?Plus, Haize looks ahead to 2027 free agency and why the 2026–27 season may be an evaluation year that determines whether the Bulls eventually pursue a player like Mathurin, Peyton Watson, or Jalen Duren.

The Chicago Bulls may not be done looking for young talent — and the Bennedict Mathurin rumor could be a sign of how Bryson Graham is thinking.On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down four young wild card guards the Bulls could monitor in the near future: Brice Sensabaugh, Scoot Henderson, Reed Sheppard, and Bub Carrington. None of these names should be treated like guaranteed targets, but each one raises an important team-building question for Chicago.Could Brice Sensabaugh become available if Utah's guard rotation gets crowded around Keyonte George, Darryn Peterson, Ace Bailey and Isaiah Collier? Could Scoot Henderson become a buy-low swing if Portland's guard room tightens with Damian Lillard, Jrue Holiday and Shaedon Sharpe? Could Reed Sheppard be the dream shooting fit next to Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis and Caleb Wilson if Houston's win-now push creates an opportunity? And could Bub Carrington be an overlooked floor-spacing guard if Washington prioritizes AJ Dybantsa, Alex Sarr, Tre Johnson and Will Riley?Then Haize gets into the bigger question: What should the Bulls do in February?If Chicago is competitive but sitting around the 9th, 10th, 11th or 12th spot in the Eastern Conference, does Bryson Graham buy, sell or stay patient? The previous Bulls front office repeatedly got trapped in the middle. Graham's challenge will be knowing whether progress means adding help, selling veterans like Norman Powell or Nic Claxton, or simply letting the young core develop without overreacting.

Could the Chicago Bulls make a costly mistake by trading Jalen Smith too early? Before the season even begins, should the Bulls give Smith a chance to prove himself. Plus, are Bryson Graham's comments a sign that Bennedict Mathurin is a player Chicago is keeping a close eye on?In this episode, we break down:Why the Bulls should be patient with Jalen SmithIs Bennedict Mathurin on Chicago's radar?What Bryson Graham's comments revealLatest Bulls rumors and roster analysis#ChicagoBulls #JalenSmith #BennedictMathurin #BrysonGraham #MatasBuzelis #NBAJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNS5lF_I3qBpGLGWllvyF8g/joinWhat do you guys think?Follow us on Social Mediahttps://linktr.ee/KognacBoyzLeave us a voicemail773-242-9219#chicagobulls #chicagobullsnews

The Chicago Bulls rumor mill is heating up — and now Bennedict Mathurin is reportedly a name to watch.Haize breaks down the latest report that Chicago has emerged as another known suitor alongside New Orleans for Clippers restricted free agent Bennedict Mathurin. Mathurin is officially on the 2026 restricted free-agent list after the Clippers issued him a qualifying offer, and Marc Stein previously reported New Orleans plus a second suitor had shown interest.Could Mathurin make sense for the Bulls? Haize looks at the fit, the cost, the restricted free agency complications, and whether Chicago should chase another young scoring wing now or preserve flexibility for the bigger 2027 picture.Then, the show turns to Jalen Duren vs Peyton Watson as possible 2027 Bulls targets. Duren is the bigger star swing, but Watson is the cleaner roster fit beside Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson and Nic Claxton. The current verdict: Watson fits the Bulls better as currently constructed, while Duren would require a bigger frontcourt reset.Plus, Haize reacts to Jalen Smith trade buzz after reported Lakers interest, and why Smith's shooting, expiring contract, and frontcourt versatility could make him one of Chicago's better trade chips.And finally, the Chicago Bulls 2026-27 preseason schedule is out — headlined by a must-watch Caleb Wilson vs Cameron Boozer rematch when the Bulls face Memphis.

The Chicago Bulls have emerged as a potential landing spot for Bennedict Mathurin, but what would the cost be. Charles Barkley sings praises for Matas Buzelis but Bobby is setting the reminder to NOT forget about Matas Buzelis as another key piece for the Chicago Bulls. We break down whether the rumored fit makes sense, what a trade could cost, and why Bulls fans shouldn't overlook Buzelis heading into the season.In this episode, we discuss:Why the Bulls are being linked to Bennedict MathurinHow a potential move would look likeIs Mathurin worth the trade package?Why Buzelis could still be the key to Chicago's future#ChicagoBulls #BennedictMathurin #MatasBuzelis #BullsNation #NBA #NBATradeRumorsJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNS5lF_I3qBpGLGWllvyF8g/joinWhat do you guys think?Follow us on Social Mediahttps://linktr.ee/KognacBoyzLeave us a voicemail773-242-9219#chicagobulls #chicagobullsnews

The main crew is back — Grant, John Browner and Beav — for a loaded night. The guys open on the World Cup, where Argentina erased a two-goal Egypt lead in stunning fashion (Messi doing Messi things) and a VAR overturn had everyone yelling "rigged." Then it's deep into Clippers offseason chaos: the Kawhi, Brandon Ingram and Walker Kessler deals still aren't official, the CBA apron is making everything a nightmare to track, and the panel goes to war over whether a $116M swing for Peyton Watson makes any sense — or whether Lawrence Frank is just doing stuff to do stuff. Should they simply re-sign Bennedict Mathurin and develop the No. 5 pick instead? In the post-show, the crew relitigates the SGA regret and closes with a full LeBron James free-agency breakdown: Denver, Golden State, or Philly? New episodes drop nightly.

Then it's on to Team USA's brutal Round-of-16 exit to Belgium (and why Christian Pulisic took the brunt of it), a Summer League deep dive headlined by Darryn Peterson looking like a problem, Cam Boozer in Memphis, the Utah Jazz's ceiling and locker-room questions, the coaching carousel, and the NBA's one-free-throw experiment that sends John completely over the edge.

Segment One: Lakers' Grit and the Clippers' Crossroads Host Grant Mona is joined by Demetrius Beaver and Mykell Mathieu to break down a tale of two franchises. While the Lakers opened their postseason with a statement win, the Clippers are left picking up the pieces of an abrupt exit. Lakers Game 1 Masterclass: Grant and the panel react to the Lakers' 107–98 victory over the Rockets. Even without Luka and Reaves, Luke Kennard's 27-point explosion and LeBron's playmaking (13 assists) showed that the Lakers' "competitive stamina" is real. The "Ayton Factor": Demetrius points out how Deandre Ayton outworked the Rockets' frontcourt, a matchup that could define the series. Mykell asks if the Rockets, even with Kevin Durant sidelined, can handle a Lakers defense that looks more locked in than it did during the regular season. Clippers' "Toddler" Timeline: The group pivots to the Intuit Dome, where a 126–121 Play-In loss to the Warriors ended the season. Grant analyzes Lawrence Frank's end-of-season presser, specifically the commitment to "win with Kawhi" while simultaneously pivoting to a younger core featuring Darius Garland and Bennedict Mathurin. Panel Debate: Is "building a bridge" to the future while keeping a 35-year-old Leonard realistic? Mykell argues the Clippers have finally found a direction, while Demetrius questions if the "contender" window is officially shut. Segment Two: Draft Season | Lottery Luck & NFL Prospects The focus shifts to the future as the NBA Draft Lottery looms and the NFL Draft arrives in just three days. NBA Draft Lottery Odds: Grant breaks down the stakes for the Clippers. Thanks to the Paul George trade of 2019, the Thunder control the Clippers' pick, which currently has a 1.5% chance at No. 1. The Pacers Protection: There is a silver lining. If the Indiana Pacers' pick (which the Clippers own via the Mathurin/Zubac trade) falls to 5th or 6th, it belongs to LA. Currently, there is a 48% chance the Clippers land a top-six selection through this pick. NFL Draft Preview: With the Las Vegas Raiders on the clock at No. 1, Grant and the guests look at the top prospects. The QB Sweepstakes: Fernando Mendoza (Indiana) is the consensus top pick, but the panel discusses whether the Giants' trade for Dexter Lawrence signals a shift in the top 10.

Host Grant Mona breaks down a defining weekend for Los Angeles basketball. We start at Crypto.com Arena, where the short-handed Lakers won a physical Game 1. Then, we head to Inglewood, where Clippers President Lawrence Frank faced the music following a disappointing early exit. Segment One: Lakers Take Game 1 | The Kennard & LeBron Connection The Los Angeles Lakers opened their first-round series with a gritty 107–98 win over the Houston Rockets on Saturday night. Despite playing without leading scorers Luka Dončić (hamstring) and Austin Reaves (oblique), the Lakers found a way to clamp down when it mattered most. Luke's Career Night: Grant reacts to Luke Kennard's massive performance. Stepping into the starting lineup, Kennard delivered a team-high 27 points and hit five triples, providing the spacing the Lakers desperately needed. LeBron the Facilitator: At 41, LeBron James continues to defy age. Grant breaks down LeBron's "Point-Forward" masterclass, finishing with 19 points, 13 assists, and 8 rebounds. His ability to settle the game in the fourth quarter against Houston's young pressure was the difference. The Defensive Blueprint: We hear from JJ Redick on how the Lakers held Alperen Sengun and the Rockets to under 100 points. Redick praised the "competitive stamina" of Deandre Ayton and Marcus Smart, noting that this series will be won in the trenches. Segment Two: Lawrence Frank on the Clippers' Future | "Win with Kawhi" Following the Clippers' Play-In loss to the Warriors, President of Basketball Operations Lawrence Frank held his end-of-season press conference on Friday to address a franchise at a crossroads. The Commitment to Kawhi: Grant analyzes Frank's definitive statement: "Our plan is to win with Kawhi." Despite Leonard sidestepping questions about his future after the loss, Frank reaffirmed that the Clippers intend to sit down with the superstar this offseason to align their goals for the final year of his contract. Three Areas of Improvement: Frank was blunt about where the roster failed this season. Grant breaks down the three priorities Frank listed for the summer: Rebounding, secondary ball-handling, and shooting. The "Bridge to Contender": We hear Frank's perspective on the mid-season moves—specifically the Darius Garland and Bennedict Mathurin trades. Frank believes the team has built a "bridge" to being a contender again with emerging young talent and draft capital, but Grant questions if the "toddler" timeline fits Kawhi's veteran window.

After a week that finally gave fans something to feel good about, the Pacers are starting to show real signs of life. Indiana picked up two wins behind a surging offense that looks more like what we expected coming into the season. Andrew Nembhard, Pascal Siakam, and T. J. McConnell all stepped up in a big way, each playing some of their best basketball of the year and helping drive a much-needed offensive rhythm. We also got the return of Bennedict Mathurin and Isaiah Jackson to Gainbridge Fieldhouse, adding another layer of energy to an already encouraging stretch. In this episode, we break down what's fueling the offensive turnaround, highlight the standout performances, and discuss whether this is something the Pacers can actually build on moving forward.
