The New Orleans Pelicans didn't make a ton of noise in free agency, which means if this team is going to take a real step forward, a lot of that improvement is going to have to come from within.

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.

The guys rank the Jaylen Brown-Paul George trade among the most painful Boston sports moves ever.The episode dives deep into the trade package, including Paul George, the 2028 and 2031 first-round pick value, the second-round picks, and whether the Celtics actually improved their future or simply got older, worse, and emotionally ruined.
