Podcast appearances and mentions of Norman Powell

K.C. Johnson rides solo in this edition of By The Horns and is joined by The Athletic's Joel Lorenzi for a 10,000-foot look at the Bulls' offseason. They discuss Bryson Graham's early impact, the signing of All-Star veteran Norman Powell, and new head coach Tiago Splitter before breaking down first-round pick Caleb Wilson's Summer League standout play and early impressions of No. 15 pick Dailyn Swain.

The Chicago Bulls' starting five looks relatively clear — but the bench could decide whether this team is actually better than expected.On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down the biggest rotation question facing Tiago Splitter entering the 2026-27 season: do the Bulls have a genuinely deep bench, or just a crowded group of players fighting for minutes? Chicago's projected starting five of Josh Giddey, Norman Powell, Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson and Nic Claxton is straightforward, but the real question is what happens after those five.Haize looks at the battle involving Tre Jones, Jalen Smith, Isaac Okoro, Leonard Miller, Rob Dillingham, Dailyn Swain, Patrick Williams, Zach Collins and Noa Essengue — and why NBA rotations usually shrink to eight or nine dependable players when games matter.Could Tre Jones be the second unit's stabilizer? Is Jalen Smith secretly Chicago's sixth man after posting strong production and impact numbers? Can Leonard Miller become the bench's chaos button? Does Rob Dillingham give the Bulls a real microwave scorer? And is Patrick Williams in danger of going from former starter to outside the rotation?Plus, Haize debates whether Bryson Graham should attach draft picks just to dump Patrick Williams. If the Bulls are not clearing space for an immediate championship move, is it worth burning assets just to erase a contract from the previous front office? Or should Chicago let Williams compete under Splitter and Jordan Brink before making another costly decision?

Should the Chicago Bulls stop chasing incremental upgrades and save their assets for the player who can actually change the franchise ceiling?On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down one of the biggest questions of the Bryson Graham rebuild: when should the Bulls finally cash in their flexibility? Chicago has kept its books clean with Josh Giddey on a flat contract, Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis on rookie-scale deals, movable veteran contracts like Norman Powell, Nic Claxton, Isaac Okoro and Jalen Smith, plus additional draft capital from the Ayo Dosunmu trade. That flexibility matters — but only if Graham uses it at the right time.Haize explains why Chicago should call about players like Jericho Sims, Jordan Hawkins, Peyton Watson and Scoot Henderson, but also why there is a major difference between a value move and a franchise-altering move. The Bulls still need to learn what Caleb Wilson, Matas Buzelis and Josh Giddey truly are before spending major assets on the wrong star or the wrong position.The show dives into the major evaluation questions: Is Caleb a No. 1 option, elite No. 2 or high-level starter? Is Matas a true second star or more of a third option? Does Giddey scale as the long-term playoff point guard? Which young players — Rob Dillingham, Dailyn Swain, Noa Essengue and Leonard Miller — are real rotation assets? And does the Wilson-Claxton frontcourt actually work offensively?Plus, Haize builds a Bulls star-target board featuring Paolo Banchero, Donovan Mitchell, Franz Wagner, Devin Booker, Evan Mobley, Zion Williamson, Tyler Herro, Michael Porter Jr. and more — while explaining why Chicago cannot spend superstar ammunition on secondary pieces.

The Chicago Bulls' full 2026-27 NBA schedule is here — and the league made one thing clear: Chicago has to earn its way back into the spotlight.On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down the biggest takeaways from the Bulls' newly released schedule, including the start of the Caleb Wilson era, a tough opening month, only three national TV games, major homecomings, revenge games and the stretches that could define the season.The Bulls open the season on the road against the Toronto Raptors on Oct. 21, then return to the United Center for their home opener against AJ Dybantsa and the Washington Wizards on Oct. 24. From there, Chicago's early schedule gives fans a fast look at how ready Caleb Wilson, Matas Buzelis, Josh Giddey, Norman Powell, Nic Claxton and Tiago Splitter really are.Haize also reacts to the Bulls receiving just three national TV games this season, including matchups against the New York Knicks, Indiana Pacers and Brooklyn Nets. Is the NBA justified after Chicago's recent lack of postseason relevance, or is the league missing a chance to showcase one of its most exciting young players in Caleb Wilson?Plus, Haize looks at key dates like Coby White's Charlotte matchups, Ayo Dosunmu's return to Chicago with Minnesota, the Bulls' two four-game road trips, the March six-game homestand, matchups against the new-look Philadelphia 76ers, and battles with Western Conference powers like the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Chicago Bulls' 2026-27 schedule has been released, and Chicago could be facing a difficult start to the season before things potentially lighten up down the stretch.We break down the toughest stretches of the Bulls' schedule, favorable matchups, key games to circle, and how the schedule could impact Tiago Splitter's first season leading Chicago.Most importantly, where will this Bulls team finish? With Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson, Norman Powell, and Nic Claxton leading a new-look roster, could Chicago outperform expectations and make a legitimate push in the Eastern Conference?We discuss the Bulls' 2026-27 schedule, projected record, Eastern Conference outlook, playoff chances, and expectations for Chicago's new era.#ChicagoBulls #BullsSchedule #JoshGiddey #MatasBuzelis #CalebWilson #TiagoSplitter #BullsNation #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

David Haugh and Gabe Ramirez continue to discuss the top six sports stories of the day in the Pick 6 segment

Should the Chicago Bulls actually consider trading Josh Giddey — or is that take missing the bigger picture?On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize dives into a new Facts or Cap debate sparked by the idea that the Bulls may be better off trading Josh Giddey to fully build around Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis. Haize explains why the concern around Giddey's defense, shooting and roster fit is fair — but also why judging him off a poorly balanced Bulls roster and a clunky two-man game with Nikola Vučević may ignore what this new group could unlock.Can Giddey work with Caleb and Matas? Does the addition of Norman Powell, Nic Claxton, and a more athletic roster finally give Chicago a fair way to evaluate him?Then Haize asks another major question: If Norman Powell leads the Bulls in scoring, is that actually a good thing? Powell may be the safest 20-point scorer on the roster, but if Matas Buzelis takes the scoring crown, that could mean a true Year 3 leap. And if Caleb Wilson leads the team as a rookie? Bulls fans may be looking at a franchise-altering outcome.Plus, the NBA has once again left the Bulls mostly out of the national spotlight. Is that fair after a 31-win season? Or could Caleb Wilson's athleticism, Summer League dominance, and Chicago's young, exciting roster force the league to pay attention sooner than expected?

Thank you Giannis for making the Miami Heat relevant again. Ira Winderman joins the show to discuss the Norman Powell split, the Heat's schedule and expectations for Giannis. Reviewing the Miami Dolphins first official depth chart of the preseason. Twan Russell predicts the Miami Hurricanes will win the National Title this year. Solving two major world issues during Talk About It Tuesday.

In hour one, reaction to the Miami Heat getting an Xmas day game. Bobby Portis tells Norman Powell to keep his name outta his mouth! Ira Winderman joins the show to discuss the Norman Powell split, the Heat's schedule and expectations for Giannis.

Norman Powell stirred the pot with comments he made about what the Heat did this off season, but the guys argue he really didn't think he said anything wrong. Leroy is determined to go Lobstering and even looks up tickle sticks, but a caller might have scared him off. We then play our favorite Tuesday game “Damage is Done” but Tobin's damage derails the whole segment!

Tobin and Leroy are back with another wild one as football is officially back and the Dolphins are making moves! The guys kick things off by discussing their funerals before getting into some serious long snapper quibbling and the Dolphins acquiring Caeden Wallace. Norman Powell has some thoughts on the Heat's offseason, Leroy gets ready to go Lobstering, and “Damage Is Done” goes completely off the rails thanks to Tobin. We also hear from Dolphins camp, react to Mike Vrabel's latest word salad, and check out the team's first depth chart of the season. Plus, the guys attempt to get excited about FIBA basketball, react to Giannis being blocked from playing, and discuss Michael Irvin gifting Mark Fletcher an RV for her travels this year. And of course, the Greek correspondent is on the radar as the Giannis-to-Miami dream complete!

 Norman Powell isn't sugarcoating anything about the Chicago Bulls — and that may be EXACTLY what this young team needs.On this episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize reacts to Powell's blunt assessment that the Bulls have the potential to be “really good” — but also the potential to be “really bad.” Instead of viewing that honesty as negativity, Haize explains why Powell's veteran leadership, scoring, floor spacing and willingness to hold the locker room accountable could be invaluable for young players like Caleb Wilson, Matas Buzelis and Dailyn Swain during the 2026-27 NBA season.

Are the Chicago Bulls finally rebuilding the right way?On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down why Bryson Graham's first summer running the Bulls has already put Chicago on a much better long-term track. The Bulls may not be headed for national TV glory right away, and Caleb Wilson alone will not instantly lift the franchise back to relevance, but the direction finally makes sense.Haize reacts to David Aldridge ranking the Bulls No. 13 in his NBA offseason rankings, a sign that Chicago's summer deserves more respect than it may receive nationally. From moving on from the failed AKME era, hiring Tiago Splitter, adding Norman Powell, acquiring Nic Claxton, drafting Caleb Wilson, and preserving flexibility, the Bulls finally look like a team with a real plan instead of a franchise stuck in the middle.Then the conversation shifts to a fascinating question: Do the Bulls even need to tank anymore? With the NBA's upcoming lottery changes making the bottom-three records less rewarding, Chicago may be able to develop Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis and Caleb Wilson, compete hard, build a culture, and still maintain real lottery upside.Plus, should the Bulls make one more young talent swing before training camp? Haize breaks down the cases for Jordan Hawkins, Scoot Henderson, and the possibility that the smartest move may be keeping the 15th roster spot open for flexibility.

Was the Nic Claxton trade really one of the worst moves of the NBA offseason — or are people missing what the Chicago Bulls actually needed?On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down why SB Nation ranking the Bulls' acquisition of Nic Claxton as the fifth-worst move of the offseason may be too harsh. The asset-management criticism is fair: Chicago used cap space and took on roughly $44 million over two years instead of extracting draft capital. But from a basketball standpoint, Claxton checks several major boxes for this roster. The Bulls finished 22nd in defensive rating, allowed opponents to shoot 58.9% in the paint, and badly needed a real defensive center next to Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis and Caleb Wilson.Haize explains how Claxton gives Tiago Splitter defensive flexibility with switching, mobility, length, blitzing ability and recovery speed. He also looks at how Claxton could help protect Matas and Caleb while they develop into a long, athletic defensive frontcourt. But the concerns are real: spacing could get ugly, Claxton's rebounding must bounce back, and the Bulls need the 2022-24 version of Claxton — not the statistically declining one from last season.Then the show shifts to Chicago's biggest offensive concern: is the Bulls' shooting actually as bad as it looks? Haize breaks down why the answer may be “not as bad as people think.” Josh Giddey has become a respectable shooter, Matas Buzelis already has high-volume three-point confidence, Caleb Wilson changed the conversation in Summer League, Norman Powell brings proven shooting gravity, and Jalen Smith may be too important as a stretch big to give away.

Do the Chicago Bulls finally have the beginning of their next great duo?On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down why Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis should not be viewed as rivals for the future of the franchise — they should be developed as a partnership. Neither player has proven he is a franchise superstar yet, but their age, size, athleticism, scoring potential and defensive versatility give Chicago two young forwards whose timelines and skill sets naturally fit together.Haize looks at how Buzelis' perimeter scoring and Wilson's physical, downhill, two-way pressure could complement each other. Matas can create space. Caleb can attack that space. Caleb can pull defenders toward the paint. Matas can punish defenses from the perimeter. That pairing could become the foundation of Chicago's future identity.The conversation also gets into how Josh Giddey can connect both forwards in transition, why Norman Powell matters as a veteran scoring stabilizer, and why Tiago Splitter must give Wilson and Buzelis meaningful reps together instead of treating them like separate projects.Then Haize shifts to the development clock for Rob Dillingham, Dailyn Swain and Noa Essengue. Dillingham has the shortest evaluation window, Swain deserves at least two full seasons, and Essengue needs the longest runway because of his age, injuries and limited NBA sample.

Should the Chicago Bulls trade Jalen Smith — or is he more valuable to this roster than anything they could realistically get back?On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down the growing Jalen Smith decision. Smith has reportedly drawn interest from teams like the Lakers, Timberwolves, Warriors and 76ers, with Philadelphia previously offering multiple second-round picks before Chicago declined. But Haize explains why the Bulls should not move Smith just to collect low-value draft capital. Smith averaged 10.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, shot 37.3% from three, and gives Chicago one of the few proven stretch-big options on the roster.The conversation then shifts to NBA.com ranking the Bulls 13th in the Eastern Conference, ahead of only Brooklyn and Milwaukee. Is that disrespectful after adding Norman Powell, Nic Claxton and Caleb Wilson? Or is it fair because the East got deeper with Philadelphia, Miami, Indiana, New York, Detroit, Cleveland, Atlanta and Orlando all positioned as stronger or more proven teams?Plus, Haize reacts to Caleb Wilson continuing to energize Bulls fans with confidence, appreciation and Rookie of the Year ambition. Wilson's Summer League shooting, above-the-rim game, fit next to Powell and path toward a potential two-man ROY race with Cameron Boozer are all on the table.

Can Josh Giddey lead the NBA in assists next season? It may sound bold, but the numbers say the conversation is real.On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down why Josh Giddey does not need an unrealistic statistical explosion to enter the assist-title race. Giddey averaged 9.1 assists in only 32.1 minutes per game last season, trailing league leader Nikola Jokić by just 1.6 assists per game. He did not officially qualify because he played only 54 games, but on a raw per-game basis, he would have ranked behind only Jokić and Cade Cunningham.Haize compares Giddey to the last three NBA assist champions: Jokić, Trae Young and Tyrese Haliburton. The recent assist-title range has been roughly 10.7 to 11.6 assists per game, meaning Giddey likely needs to add about 1.6 to 2.0 assists per game to become a true favorite.The Bulls' new roster gives him a real chance. Norman Powell gives Chicago a proven shooting scorer, Nic Claxton gives Giddey a vertical lob threat, Caleb Wilson is built for transition, cuts and hit-ahead passes, and Matas Buzelis could become the secondary scoring partner that turns more Giddey reads into assists.Plus, Haize lays out what Giddey must do to actually win the assist crown: play enough games, reach the 10.7 to 11.0 assist range, remain Chicago's clear primary initiator, improve his scoring gravity and cut down the wasteful turnovers.

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.

Can Tiago Splitter turn the Chicago Bulls into a top-15 defense immediately? Haize breaks down why the Bulls finally have the defensive personnel to make a real jump after allowing 121.5 points per game last season, ranking 28th in the NBA. With Nic Claxton, Isaac Okoro, Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson, Dailyn Swain, Leonard Miller and Tre Jones, Chicago now has far more size, length, versatility and defensive tools than the group that finished 31–51.Haize also looks at what Splitter's Portland defensive success could mean for Chicago. Portland used multiple coverages, controlled shot quality, finished fifth in blocks, allowed the sixth-fewest made threes, and ranked 14th in defensive rating. Now the question is whether Splitter can transfer those principles to a Bulls roster built around Claxton's rim protection, Okoro's point-of-attack defense, and the weak-side length of Buzelis and Wilson.Then the conversation shifts to the Bulls' rotation battle. The starting five looks clearer with Josh Giddey, Norman Powell, Caleb Wilson, Matas Buzelis and Nic Claxton, but the bench and “outside looking in” group could get ruthless fast. Players like Rob Dillingham, Dailyn Swain, Patrick Williams and Noa Essengue may have to fight for every minute under a new front office and head coach with no loyalty to the old regime.

The Chicago Bulls are entering a new era, but the roster still has major questions — and today's Chicago Bulls Central dives into three of the biggest.Haize breaks down why Norman Powell may be exactly what Caleb Wilson needs in his rookie season. Powell gives Chicago a proven scoring option who can take pressure off Wilson early, allowing the No. 4 pick to grow into his role instead of being forced to carry the offense right away.Then the conversation shifts to Josh Giddey's real position. Is he a point guard, shooting guard, small forward, or something more modern? Haize explains why Giddey should remain Chicago's primary offensive organizer while defending bigger guards/wings and spending more half-court possessions as a screener, cutter, and secondary playmaker.Plus, Noa Essengue's Bulls future may be more complicated than fans realize after an ugly Summer League and a crowded frontcourt. Essengue still has tools, length, mobility, and developmental upside, but Caleb Wilson, Matas Buzelis, Dailyn Swain, Leonard Miller, Jalen Smith, and others make his path to minutes much tougher.

Did ESPN underrate the Chicago Bulls' offseason? Haize breaks down why a C+ grade for Bryson Graham's first offseason feels too harsh when the Bulls landed Caleb Wilson at No. 4, drafted Dailyn Swain at No. 15, added Nic Claxton, signed Norman Powell, brought back Zach Collins, and still maintained future flexibility.The Bulls did not have the flashiest offseason in the NBA, but they finally looked calculated. Powell's deal includes a team option, Claxton was added without giving up meaningful value, and Collins' deal also keeps Chicago flexible. That is a major change from the short-sighted roster-building Bulls fans have been frustrated with for years.Then Haize turns to Matas Buzelis' potential Most Improved Player case. Matas is focused on getting stronger, has upgraded his nutrition with a chef, wants to attack the rim more, has interest in working with Deni Avdija, and has already worked with Dirk Nowitzki on shooting. If Buzelis gets a bigger role under Tiago Splitter, could he enter the 2027 MIP conversation?

The Chicago Bulls suddenly have a real rotation problem — and that is a good thing.On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down why Patrick Williams, Rob Dillingham, Dailyn Swain, Leonard Miller, and Noa Essengue may all have legitimate NBA talent, but not all of them are guaranteed regular minutes under Tiago Splitter.With projected starters Josh Giddey, Norman Powell, Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson, and Nic Claxton, plus established bench candidates like Tre Jones, Isaac Okoro, Jalen Smith, and Zach Collins, the Bulls may only have one or two dependable rotation spots left unless Splitter consistently plays 11 deep.Haize explains why the battle will be decided by specific utility, not draft position, contract size, or theoretical upside. Patrick Williams must become a dependable 3-and-D forward. Rob Dillingham has to prove his shot creation outweighs his defensive concerns. Dailyn Swain needs to win minutes through defense, rebounding, and connective play. Leonard Miller must turn activity into a repeatable role. Noa Essengue likely needs Windy City reps before becoming a true rotation option.Plus, Haize reacts to Bill Simmons comparing Caleb Wilson to Tracy McGrady after Wilson's monster Summer League run, and why Bulls fans should be excited while still keeping expectations grounded. Wilson averaged 23.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.2 steals, and 2.5 blocks while shooting 50% from the field and 41.9% from three.Also: Tre Jones gets called a Bulls hidden gem, and Haize explains why his steady playmaking, efficiency, and $8 million salary could matter more than fans realize.

Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis are already putting in work — and that could matter more than Bulls fans realize.On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down why Wilson's rookie season could become one of the biggest swing factors in the entire Bulls rebuild. After saying he was not taking time off after Summer League, Wilson was already back on the court in Chicago at a South Side Pro Run, where he was spotted building chemistry with Buzelis — including an alley-oop connection that should have Bulls fans excited for October.But the bigger question is this: Can Caleb Wilson show enough as a rookie to change how aggressive Bryson Graham needs to be next offseason?Haize breaks down the six things Wilson must prove: a potentially elite NBA trait, a respectable jumper, multiple frontcourt roles, improved decision-making, defense that translates beyond highlights, and functional fit next to Matas Buzelis and Josh Giddey.Plus, we look at the Bulls' possible 2027 cap flexibility. Depending on team options for Norman Powell, Zach Collins and Tre Jones, Chicago could have anywhere from practical starter-level money to major flexibility in the $60–70 million range.Also: Dailyn Swain's Summer League was rough, but his mindset after struggling as a de facto point guard should give Bulls fans a reason to avoid panic.

Did the Chicago Bulls improve enough to climb the Eastern Conference—or did the rest of the East improve even faster?On this episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize examines Chicago's position after an offseason that added Caleb Wilson, Dailyn Swain, Norman Powell, Nic Claxton, and head coach Tiago Splitter.The Bulls are more athletic, more balanced and far more intriguing than last season's 31-51 team, but the Eastern Conference has become a battlefield. The defending champion New York Knicks remain loaded, Miami added Giannis Antetokounmpo, Philadelphia acquired Jaylen Brown, Detroit improved its shooting, Atlanta added Lu Dort and Aaron Wiggins, and Indiana expects Tyrese Haliburton back.Where does that leave Chicago: a legitimate 40-win play-in threat or another development team stuck near the bottom?Haize also reacts to Matas Buzelis' candid conversation with Lonzo Ball, including Ball's claim that Billy Donovan placed Buzelis on a leash. Buzelis discussed learning the business side of the NBA, his desire to attack the rim more, possible offseason work with Deni Avdija and his effort to speed up his decision-making with Lithuania.Plus, Caleb Wilson earned All-Summer League First Team honors after averaging 23.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.5 blocks while shooting 41.9 percent from three. Is Rookie of the Year now a realistic expectation?

 It's time for a Facts or Cap: Post Summer League & Draft Edition on Chicago Bulls Central!Haize breaks down the biggest Bulls fan debates after Summer League, the NBA Draft, and Chicago's offseason moves. Is Dailyn Swain already a bust after a rough Summer League? Should fans expect the Bulls to trade Norman Powell, Nic Claxton, or Zach Collins? Did Bryson Graham waste the second-round picks? And is anyone seriously saying Caleb Wilson doesn't need development?Plus, Haize dives into the latest Bulls frontcourt conversation: should Chicago consider a reunion with former Bulls big man Daniel Gafford if the Dallas Mavericks continue fielding offers? Gafford would give the Bulls another rim-running, shot-blocking center next to Nic Claxton — but his contract and fit make the conversation more complicated.Then, we get into the best part: Caleb Wilson's mindset. The Bulls rookie says he is taking no time off, knows exactly what he needs to improve, and is already focused on tightening his handle, playing off two feet, handling NBA physicality, reading closeouts, and making quicker decisions before training camp.

The Chicago Bulls 2026-27 season is shaping up to be one of the most interesting years in recent franchise history — but fans need to understand what this team really is.Haize breaks down why the Bulls are more talented, more athletic, younger, longer, faster, and better constructed than last year's 31-51 roster, but still very much a development team. The projected starting lineup of Josh Giddey, Norman Powell, Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson, and Nic Claxton gives Chicago real intrigue, while players like Tre Jones, Rob Dillingham, Dailyn Swain, Isaac Okoro, Patrick Williams, Leonard Miller, Noa Essengue, Jalen Smith, Zach Collins, Jaylin Sellers, and Tobe Awaka will battle for roles in camp.Summer League changed some expectations. Caleb Wilson looks ready for a real rotation role, while Dailyn Swain looked less ready than expected, and Noa Essengue still appears to be a developmental project. That does not kill anyone's long-term outlook — but it does change what Chicago should expect from them early.Haize also dives into the Bulls' biggest hurdles: shooting, half-court spacing, late-clock creation, point-of-attack defense, physicality, defensive rebounding, crowded forward minutes, and balancing development with winning.Plus, the training camp evaluations are going to be intense. Dailyn Swain, Rob Dillingham, Noa Essengue, Patrick Williams, Leonard Miller, Isaac Okoro, Jaylin Sellers, Jalen Smith, and Zach Collins all have major questions to answer before opening night.

0:00 ... Ross welcomes everyone to the show and introduces the crew. 0:32 ... Show #256 is dedicated to Nikola Jokic, who had a triple double last Christmas that included a 56 point scoring night. 0:48 ... Ross begins with the Jaylen Brown trade from the Celtics to the 76ers ... Bruce starts the discussion off with his thoughts on the deal.  It was a salary dump and it also allowed the team to avoid having to discuss another super max extension with Brown.  World B felt it was a move dictated by Brad Stevens' bosses. 5:20 ... Bruce discusses what it feels like to see Brown going to Philly, an ancient rival of the Celtics.  And it was set in motion by Brad Stevens' failure to deal Brown for Giannis Antetokounmpo. 7:19 ... Ross feels like Paul George is nothing special at this point of his career. 7:54 ... Should the Celtics be worried about their outlook next season?  Bruce feels like Boston could be anywhere between a 4 and 6 seed and Jayson Tatum as the new "Alpha" will be challenged in the area of leadership. 9:40 ... World B wonders if the Celtics will change their "3 Point Happy" offensive style. 11:08 ... Where does Philadelphia stack up in the east?  Joel Embiid is no longer "The Franchise" and his slow pace may be detrimental to the faster style that Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, and Brown will want to play.  The Sixers should seriously consider a future move to offload Embiid and his monster contract if possible.  World B feels the 76ers are a very thin team even though they look much better on paper with Brown. 16:23 ... The Lakers took a huge swing on Walker Kessler to be Luka Doncic's center.  Doncic lost his running mate in LeBron James and with Luka now expected to be the leader of the team, Bruce questions whether he has what it takes "from the neck up" to be a legit team leader and he explains what Luka needs to address in his own performance to become a better leader. 18:01 ... World B feels if LA is a top 4 seed in the west, Luka could be a solid MVP candidate.  Kessler has missed a lot of games the past two years so his reliability could be an issue.  Ross feels like some of the other signings by LA will help coach JJ Redick implement the type of style that will be successful. 20:45 ... Lots of free agent signings ... John Collins goes to Detroit and replaces Tobias Harris. 22:56 ... Marcus Smart reunites with his former coach in Boston Ime Udoka as a member of the Houston Rockets.  Smart fits the Rockets culture perfectly. 24:41 ... Norman Powell leaves the Miami Heat and heads to Chicago ... none of the panelists feel particularly strongly about this move for the Bulls. 36:28 ... Tobias Harris joins the Spurs and brings his experience and mentoring skills to a young team that showed its inexperience in the 2026 Finals against the Knicks. 28:11 ... Andre Drummond replaces Mitchell Robinson with the Knicks as the backup to Karl-Anthony Towns.  His rebounding provides similar skills as those of Robinson. 30:24 ... Two interesting Summer League rules will be tested this summer.  The "one free throw" experiment is worth a try but Bruce has major issues because at the end of games, there is a lot of strategy surrounding free throws that will be lost if this rule ever becomes permanent.  World B questions why there is any need for this rule change AT ALL. 33:07 ... The "connected" basketball is another experiment by the league.  Bruce questions how it will even work and if players' fingerprints are part of the equation, the Players Association is likely to have major issues with the use of data like that being used in this way. 35:00 .... Final Thought: Bruce on Lebron James' future. 36:56 ... Final Thought: World B on whether the balance of power is gradually shifting towards the east. 38:39 ... Final thought: Ross on early Summer League standouts so far. 40:26 ... Ross wraps it up and says goodbye TRT 40:41     Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
