The Chicago Bulls have officially entered a new era. On this episode of The Horns Over Hoops Podcast, Sal Bass is joined by Guilty to break down why the Bulls hired Tiago Splitter as their next head coach and why this move feels different from previous front office decisions. We discuss:

The Chicago Bulls' new era is officially underway with Tiago Splitter replacing Billy Donovan as head coach — and Bulls fans should be ready for a very different style of basketball in Chicago.Haize breaks down Splitter's offensive principles, including more cutting, ball screens, Iverson cuts, conceptual reads, pace, three-point volume, and a system that could help unlock Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis and the Bulls' young core. How will Splitter's background with the San Antonio Spurs, Paris Basketball and Portland Trail Blazers shape the Bulls' identity?Then we play Facts or Cap on the latest Bulls rumor: could Chicago actually trade down from the No. 4 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft? Multiple teams have reportedly checked in, but is Bryson Graham really willing to move off a chance at Cam Boozer or Caleb Wilson?Finally, Haize builds his dream Bulls draft class if Cam Boozer is available at No. 4: Cam Boozer, Morez Johnson Jr. and Ryan Conwell. Could this trio give the Bulls the perfect blend of offensive structure, physical identity and shooting?

Ben Anderson, Utah Jazz insider for KSL Sports and Jake & Ben G, B & U: Bulls finalizing hire of Tiago Splitter to replace Billy Donovan Utah Attorney General Derek E. Brown and Governor Spencer J. Cox stand behind the Big 12 Conference

The Chicago Bulls rebuild may finally be taking shape under Bryson Graham — and today's episode of Chicago Bulls Central dives into what that identity could look like.Haize breaks down the latest Bulls head coaching search update, including reports that Tiago Splitter, Ryan Schmidt, Micah Nori, and Wes Unseld Jr. remain involved while Chris Quinn may be out of the mix. Could the Bulls be close to finding Billy Donovan's successor?Then we shift to the 2026 NBA Draft and ask a massive question: could Caleb Wilson at No. 4 and Chris Cenac Jr. at No. 15 be the perfect frontcourt pairing for Chicago's rebuild? Wilson brings athleticism, size, defensive upside, transition ability, and star-level tools. Cenac adds length, mobility, rebounding, rim pressure, and long-term developmental upside. Together, they could give the Bulls the size, length, athleticism, and physicality that fits Bryson Graham's “SLAP” philosophy.Haize also reacts to an interesting draft note on Cameron Carr, who has not been listed in reported pre-draft workouts. Could that mean a team has made an early promise? And should Bulls fans be watching that situation closely?

To massive relief, the Magic are not hiring Billy Donovan to be their next head coach, but instead it'll be 41-year-old highly-praised San Antonio Spurs associate head coach and experienced NBA assistant Sean Sweeney guiding this Orlando franchise next season. The good news is Sweeney's official introduction will be delayed because he's got his second NBA Finals to partake in. This is an enormous hiring for the Magic, and if done correctly, Sweeney could be with our franchise for a very long time. All of that and more! #LetsGoMagic Warning: Adult Language
