On this episode of The Big Red Bus, See Red Fred and Doug dig into three timely Bulls topics that sit right at the heart of the team's present and future.Segment 1: Coby White Trade Rumors (5:00)We open the show by unpacking the latest buzz around potential trade scenarios involving Coby White. What's real, what's noise, and what would moving Coby say about where the Bulls think they are right now? We look at value, fit, timing, and whether these rumors reflect opportunistic listening or a more fundamental shift in direction.Segment 2: Matas Buzelis Development Check-In (24:27)The middle segment focuses on Matas Buzelis and his early development. While the upside and flashes are obvious, we zero in on his defensive struggles—positioning, awareness, and physicality—and talk through what's normal for a young player adjusting to NBA speed versus what needs to improve quickly for him to earn consistent trust and minutes.Segment 3: Vooch and the WarriorsWe close by discussing the rumors around Vooch and the Warriors. Is this about asset management, clearing developmental runway, or trying to recalibrate the roster without fully blowing it up? We debate the Bulls' options—and the risks tied to each path.A classic Big Red Bus episode: rumors, development, and plenty of Bulls reality checks along the way.
The Chicago Bulls put together one of their most complete performances of the season, blowing out the LA Clippers 138–110 at the United Center! This was a STATEMENT win from start to finish.
The NBA trade deadline is closing in and the Chicago Bulls might have more move-making power than fans realize
The Chicago Bulls dominated the Brooklyn Nets 124-102 behind a FLAMING shooting night from Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu
The Chicago Bulls are reportedly eyeing Pelicans center Yves Missi — and it could signal exactly the kind of “smaller swing” Arturas Karnisovas prefers at the deadline. On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down whether Missi is the right young defensive big for Chicago, how he would fit next to Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis, and what this move says about the front office's mindset.Is this a smart, patient pivot… or another half-measure? We also examine Jalen Smith's upside, whether a Missi–Smith frontcourt could actually work, and why Billy Donovan's shot diet (barely any midrange) might be holding this team back.Plus — big injury news: Josh Giddey may practice with Windy City on Sunday after being upgraded from OUT to DOUBTFUL. What does this mean for Chicago's stretch run?And as always — your voicemails bring the heat:

The Chicago Bulls snapped their three-game losing streak in dominant fashion, blowing out the Dallas Mavericks 125-107 behind 22 points from Coby White and 20 from Ayo Dosunmu.

Meanwhile, the Mavericks were without Anthony Davis, lost Jason Kidd to an early ejection, and struggled to keep up with Chicago's pace.But just as the Bulls start to build momentum, new trade rumors pop up.

With both guards on expiring contracts, Chicago suddenly finds itself in an interesting position ahead of the trade deadline.We break down:What this win actually says about the BullsWhether the Knicks rumors make sense for either sideWhat it would signal if Chicago moved on from Coby or AyoAnd what the voicemails are saying about roster building, replacements, and expectationsTap in for all of that and more on Chicago Bulls Central — your home for everything Bulls.
