Podcast appearances and mentions of Patrick Williams

Could Jalen Duren's contract situation eventually change how the Chicago Bulls view their long-term center position? Could Patrick Williams find new value as a small-ball five? And which Bulls have actually earned long-term extensions?On today's episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down three roster-building questions that could shape Bryson Graham's next phase of the rebuild.First, Jalen Duren.Detroit's contract standoff has created an interesting future possibility, but this is NOT a report that Chicago is pursuing Duren. The Bulls angle is simple: if Duren eventually reaches the market, should Chicago preserve enough flexibility to seriously consider a 22-year-old center coming off an All-Star and All-NBA season?And there's an important deadline distinction: October 1 is the qualifying-offer acceptance deadline—not an absolute deadline for Detroit and Duren to negotiate a long-term contract.The bigger Bulls question is how much better Duren would actually make Chicago compared with Nic Claxton, who is already under contract and now gets an entire season to prove whether he can become the defensive anchor this young core needs.Then we get into Patrick Williams.

California agriculture takes center stage in the latest AgNet NewsHour, as Nick Papagni, the Ag Meter, talks with fourth-generation Bakersfield farmer Jason Giannelli and Patrick Williams of SkySense about some of the biggest issues facing farmers across the state. Giannelli, director of farming for Old River Farming and R.& G. Fanucci and president of the California Water Alliance, gives listeners an inside look at the challenges facing Kern and Kings County agriculture. His operation farms roughly 10,000 acres, much of it dedicated to dairy feed crops including corn silage, milo, Sudan grass and triticale. He says the current dairy market remains difficult, while increasing water-quality regulations are adding additional challenges for farmers working with manure, nitrogen and irrigation water. Water remains one of the central themes of the conversation. Giannelli discusses the difficulty of receiving reliable surface-water deliveries and explains that his operation received a maximum of about 40 percent of its allocation during the season. He also discusses the challenges surrounding on-farm water storage and the broader implications of leaving agricultural land fallow. The conversation connects water availability with agricultural production, rural employment, local economies and concerns about conditions such as Valley fever. Fuel costs are another major concern. Giannelli explains how his operation purchased diesel early as part of an effort to hedge against anticipated market and refinery pressures. The interview also examines agricultural automation and the California Ag Tech Alliance, including efforts to evaluate emerging technologies and navigate workplace regulations affecting autonomous farm equipment. Giannelli also shares the personal side of farming, talking about raising his children around the family operation and documenting their lives on social media. He encourages people interested in California water issues to attend the California Water Alliance water forum on October 1 at Belmont Country Club. The program then turns to agricultural technology with Patrick Williams of SkySense, who explains how remotely operated drones are being used to protect crops from birds and other wildlife. SkySense operates drones equipped with thermal cameras and powerful speakers, providing day-and-night protection for crops including lettuce, table grapes, rice, blueberries, cherries and peaches. The technology can also help identify and deter trespassers and agricultural theft. Williams says SkySense handles installation, removal and operation, meaning growers do not have to provide additional labor for the wildlife-mitigation system. Individual drones can effectively cover as much as 150 acres, while changing deterrent sounds helps prevent birds from becoming accustomed to the system. Growers interested in learning more can visit SkySense.ag or call 888-759-1947. There is much more in this episode, including California's harvest season, walnut marketing, agricultural labor, water infrastructure, fuel supplies, farm technology and the personal story of a fourth-generation farmer working to keep agriculture moving forward.

Who actually belongs in the Chicago Bulls' long-term core — and who is still auditioning for a permanent place in Bryson Graham's rebuild?On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize challenges the idea that Chicago already has four established core players.The Bulls have young talent, but being young, recently drafted or receiving developmental minutes does not automatically make someone part of the eventual franchise core. A true core player should still matter when Chicago becomes a legitimate playoff team, possess skills that translate to postseason basketball, fit financially and chronologically around the franchise's foundational pieces, and remain valuable even after another star is eventually added.Matas Buzelis is the clearest established young core player. His question isn't whether he belongs — it's whether he develops into a legitimate first or second offensive option, an efficient scorer and a dependable two-way closer.Caleb Wilson is also an organizational pillar, but Chicago still needs to learn whether his NBA ceiling is primary scorer, two-way secondary star, transition weapon, small-ball center or complementary frontcourt piece.Then comes the harder conversation.Josh Giddey remains one of Chicago's most important evaluations. Can his jumper command respect? Can he run efficient half-court offense? Can he contribute without controlling every possession and survive defensively in closing lineups? If so, he could solve Chicago's point-guard question. If not, the Bulls may still need their long-term lead creator.Dailyn Swain is a core investment — but he hasn't yet become a core player. His rookie season should be about identifying dependable NBA skills rather than prematurely proving he's a future star.Haize also breaks down which Bulls can play their way into the long-term rotation, including Nic Claxton, Rob Dillingham, Leonard Miller, Noa Essengue, Jaylin Sellers and Tre Jones.Then the conversation shifts toward Chicago's 2027 draft strategy. If Giddey proves he's the long-term lead guard, the Bulls can prioritize shooting and secondary creation. If Claxton fails at center, rim protection jumps up the board. If Swain, Dillingham and Sellers fail to provide scoring, Chicago could target a guard early.

On a recent episode of the AgNet News Hour, the conversation covered both the current California almond season and a new approach to protecting high-value crops from birds and other wildlife. Taylor Hillman, manager of industry communications with the Almond Board of California, joined the show with an update on harvest and several issues growers should be watching. Hillman said harvest has generally benefited from favorable weather, although the crop came off noticeably early in many areas—roughly 10 days to two weeks ahead of normal in parts of the southern growing region. He also discussed the voluntary cancellation of some paraquat registrations in California and the major decisions growers face when replacing aging orchards. With an almond orchard representing a 20- to 25-year investment, Hillman encouraged growers to gather as much information as possible before replanting. Looking ahead, attention is already turning to The Almond Conference, scheduled for December 8-10 in Sacramento. Hillman said the event will again offer production, pest management, regulatory and marketing sessions, along with opportunities for growers to interact directly with researchers. One new tool expected to be introduced is a yield prediction calculator designed to help growers better estimate orchard production. Later in the program, Patrick Williams of SkySense discussed how remotely operated drones are being used for wildlife mitigation in crops including lettuce, table grapes and rice. The drones can operate during the day or at night using thermal cameras and onboard speakers. Williams said the system can change sounds and tactics to prevent birds from becoming accustomed to the deterrent, a common problem with stationary tools such as propane cannons. SkySense is also exploring applications beyond birds, including hogs, deer, coyotes and potentially livestock protection. Williams said the company has seen particularly strong demand in California as growers look for ways to reduce crop losses while dealing with rising labor costs. From an early almond harvest to emerging technology in the field, the episode offers a look at both the immediate concerns and longer-term innovations shaping California agriculture.

Could the New York Knicks actually PAY the Chicago Bulls to take another young player off their hands?On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down a proposed trade opportunity involving Tyler Kolek and Pacôme Dadiet as New York operates close to the second apron and potentially looks to open another roster spot.Important distinction: this is a trade concept from Knicks On SI — not a report that Chicago and New York are actively negotiating.But the idea is fascinating.Chicago still has an open roster spot, financial flexibility, and a direct developmental connection to both players through new director of player development Jordan Brink, who previously worked with Kolek and Dadiet in New York.Kolek may be the more immediately useful target. He gives Chicago another pass-first organizer, insurance behind Josh Giddey and Tre Jones, and a potentially intriguing contrast to the scoring-oriented Rob Dillingham.Dadiet is the bigger developmental gamble. He remains only 21 and has intriguing size at 6-foot-9, but Chicago already has a crowded developmental wing group featuring Dailyn Swain, Noa Essengue, Leonard Miller, Patrick Williams, Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis.If the Knicks want Chicago to take Dadiet, should New York have to attach draft compensation?Then Haize breaks down why the Bulls' backup-center competition shouldn't simply be framed as Jalen Smith vs Zach Collins.Smith brings pick-and-pop shooting, pace and offensive rebounding. Collins brings strength, screening, post play and connective passing. Behind starter Nic Claxton, those two could provide Tiago Splitter with dramatically different options depending on the matchup.And yes — they can absolutely push one another for minutes.Finally, the Bulls want to play FAST next season.But could turnovers become the fatal flaw in Tiago Splitter's system?Splitter's Portland team reached the playoffs, but also committed a league-high 17.3 turnovers per game. Chicago already finished among the NBA's more turnover-prone teams, and a young roster built around Josh Giddey, Caleb Wilson, Matas Buzelis, Dailyn Swain and Rob Dillingham could make that problem even more dangerous.Haize explains why Chicago shouldn't eliminate creativity — but must distinguish between aggressive mistakes and careless live-ball turnovers that immediately fuel the opponent's transition offense.

The Chicago Bulls depth chart is taking shape heading into training camp, but the biggest question may be who does not have a secure role. On this episode of The Horns Over Hoops Podcast, Sal Bass, Dan Gracey, and special guest Gilty break down the Bulls' projected starting lineup, rotation battles, potential trade candidates, and the long-term future of Matas Buzelis and Caleb Wilson. Who should start for the Bulls? Which players could be moved during the 2026–27 NBA season? And is the development of Buzelis and Wilson more important individually, or could they become the foundation of a future Bulls duo? The discussion covers the latest Chicago Bulls news, Bulls trade rumors, roster projections, training camp storylines, and the players most likely to see their roles change. We examine Jalen Smith, Patrick Williams, Tre Jones, and Isaac Okoro as potential trade candidates, while also discussing how Nic Claxton, Norman Powell, Josh Giddey, and the Bulls' young talent fit into the team's plans. The episode also explores Matas Buzelis' breakout potential, Caleb Wilson's development after Summer League, and what Chicago needs to do to maximize the pairing of its two young forwards.

Could Matas Buzelis eventually command a $200 million contract from the Chicago Bulls?On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down why Amen Thompson's new five-year, $208 million extension could be a preview of the financial decision Chicago may eventually face with Matas Buzelis. Thompson's deal doesn't make him a perfect comparison, but it does show what young wings with franchise-cornerstone upside are beginning to cost.Matas averaged 16.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 blocks last season while shooting 46.3% from the field and 34.9% from three. Chicago controls his fourth-year option for 2027-28, and he becomes eligible for a rookie-scale extension next summer. The 2026-27 season could determine whether those negotiations begin at “promising starter” money or genuine franchise-player money.But before getting to Matas, Haize examines something that could make this Bulls team stylistically fascinating: the bench may have a completely different identity from the starters.Chicago's starting group of Josh Giddey, Norman Powell, Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson and Nic Claxton can create through size, passing and matchup advantages. The second unit may need to manufacture offense through speed, pressure, deflections, multiple ball handlers and organized chaos.A possible bench core of Tre Jones, Rob Dillingham, Dailyn Swain, Leonard Miller or Patrick Williams, and Jalen Smith could change the tempo immediately. Jones provides control, Dillingham brings instant scoring aggression, Swain connects possessions with defense and secondary creation, and Smith gives the guards the spacing they need to attack.Haize also explains why Norman Powell staggered with the reserves could unlock the entire concept, and why a group featuring Dillingham, Powell, Swain, Matas and Jalen Smith could become legitimately dangerous if the young players shoot and defend well enough.Finally, the Bulls have another contract decision coming. Isaac Okoro becomes extension-eligible September 17 while entering the final year of his deal at roughly $11.8 million. His defense may be more important than his box-score production because Chicago's projected starters still lack an obvious point-of-attack stopper. But his 33% three-point shooting creates real spacing concerns next to Giddey and Claxton.So should Bryson Graham extend Okoro, evaluate him through the first 20–25 games, or use his expiring contract as a trade asset?

The Chicago Bulls may not have an internal playoff mandate for 2026-27 — but does development-first basketball mean fans should lower expectations?On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize dives into some of the most underrated storylines surrounding the Bulls, starting with Jalen Smith, who could quietly become one of Chicago's most important bench pieces. Nic Claxton is the defensive anchor, but Smith's shooting, rebounding and offensive versatility could make him the big man who unlocks lineups around Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis and Caleb Wilson.Then there's Noa Essengue, Chicago's forgotten 2025 lottery pick. After his rookie season was essentially wiped out by shoulder surgery, Essengue now returns to a completely different developmental landscape featuring Caleb Wilson, Dailyn Swain, an ascending Matas Buzelis, Leonard Miller and Patrick Williams. The question isn't whether Noa dominates immediately — it's whether he can reestablish himself as part of Chicago's long-term future.Haize also examines a brutal early schedule that could shape the tone of the entire season. Chicago opens with six of its first eight games on the road while trying to integrate a new coach, three new starters, a rookie power forward, a new defensive center and an unsettled bench-scoring hierarchy. A rough start would not automatically mean the rebuild is failing — but it could impact rotations, roster decisions and trade conversations quickly.The episode then shifts to Matas Buzelis, whose second-year development suggests he may be much closer to legitimate two-way stardom than skeptics realize. Matas averaged 16.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.5 blocks last season and became the youngest player in NBA history to combine at least 100 blocks and 150 made threes in a season. His defensive matchup difficulty and isolation-defense numbers also improved dramatically.Finally, Haize reacts to ESPN reporting that there is no internal pressure on the Bulls to reach the play-in or playoffs. Bryson Graham's stated focus is internal growth, while Caleb Wilson has already made his own mentality clear: “I do expect to win.” Those ideas do not have to conflict — but they create the biggest philosophical question of the season: Can Chicago prioritize development without allowing patience to become lowered standards?

Should the Chicago Bulls take a swing on Cam Whitmore after Cleveland waived him?On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down why the Bulls' potential connection to Cam Whitmore should be treated as logical speculation — not confirmed reporting. There is currently no credible report that Chicago has contacted Whitmore or plans to submit a waiver claim, but the fit is worth discussing because the Bulls have an open roster spot, need bench scoring, and have already been connected to several scorer types this offseason.Haize explains why Whitmore should interest Chicago. He is still only 22, has NBA scoring production on his résumé, and brings the downhill athleticism, transition force, physicality and self-created scoring upside the Bulls failed to land with names like Bennedict Mathurin, Jonathan Kuminga and Sylvain Francisco.But this is not a no-brainer. Whitmore's season ended because of an upper-extremity deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder, meaning any Bulls pursuit must begin with a serious medical evaluation. Chicago also has to decide whether adding Whitmore helps the rebuild by creating legitimate competition — or complicates the development path for Dailyn Swain, Jaylin Sellers, Rob Dillingham, Leonard Miller, Patrick Williams and Noa Essengue.Then Haize shifts to a bigger roster question: is the Bulls' depth being overlooked? Chicago may have 12 or 13 players capable of contributing, but the real question is how many of them Tiago Splitter can actually trust. The Bulls have plenty of playable bodies, but their bench still lacks the kind of proven scoring punch that separates the East's best second units.Haize breaks down why Tre Jones is Chicago's most dependable reserve, why Jalen Smith and Zach Collins give the Bulls frontcourt insurance, why the wing depth is more uncertain than it looks, and why Rob Dillingham may be the swing player who decides whether Chicago's bench is closer to top-seven in the East or stuck in the bottom half.

The Chicago Bulls are entering a new era, and several roles on this roster could change fast.On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down why Bryson Graham and Tiago Splitter appear to be steering the Bulls toward a true rebuild instead of chasing the Play-In Tournament at all costs. That means this season could feel very different — roles will be earned, young players will be tested, and veterans may not be locked into the same responsibilities they had under the previous regime.Haize starts with Josh Giddey, whose role could become more simplified. Giddey may still be important as a facilitator, but with Norman Powell, Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis expected to carry more scoring responsibility, Tiago Splitter may not ask Giddey to be the same scoring-heavy lead guard Chicago saw last season.Then the show shifts to Leonard Miller, who could force his way into bigger minutes after a strong finish last season. Miller averaged nearly 15 points and 7.3 rebounds over his final 18 games while shooting efficiently, and his size, energy and two-way upside could make him a natural fit for the new Bulls identity.The most explosive conversation: Patrick Williams' rotation spot may no longer be safe. Patrick is still making major money, but this new front office has no attachment to that contract. With Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson, Dailyn Swain, Isaac Okoro, Leonard Miller, Noa Essengue and Jalen Smith all competing for forward minutes, Patrick should have to earn his role in camp.Haize also breaks down the Bulls' failed search for a bench scorer. Chicago missed on or was connected to Bennedict Mathurin, Jonathan Kuminga and Sylvain Francisco, leaving a real opportunity for Rob Dillingham, Jaylin Sellers and Dailyn Swain to claim the job.Finally, Haize asks whether Bryson Graham quietly built this roster for another trade-deadline pivot. Norman Powell, Tre Jones, Zach Collins, Jalen Smith and Isaac Okoro can all help now — but they may also become movable assets if contenders come calling.

Jonathan Kuminga reportedly turned down the Chicago Bulls — and now Bulls fans have to ask what it really means.On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down the updated Kuminga situation after he signed with the Minnesota Timberwolves on a two-year, $13 million deal with a second-year player option. Chicago reportedly made an actual offer, along with the Lakers and Trail Blazers, but Kuminga chose Minnesota's role, winning situation, and path to rebuilding his value.Haize explains why the rejection is not devastating, but it is interesting. Kuminga fits Chicago's age timeline, but the Bulls already have Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson, Patrick Williams, Noa Essengue and Leonard Miller competing for forward minutes. The bigger concern is whether young players view Chicago as a place where they can build value — especially if the Bulls offered more money and still lost out.Then the show shifts to Bennedict Mathurin, who signed with New Orleans on a two-year, $16 million deal with a player option after averaging 17.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists last season. Haize asks whether Chicago made a mistake by not prioritizing a 24-year-old scorer at that price — especially when the Bulls still need downhill shot creation.Finally, Haize looks at whether Jordan Hawkins should now be on Chicago's radar. New Orleans had reportedly discussed Hawkins trades before adding Mathurin, and Hawkins' $7 million salary fits inside Chicago's remaining room exception. But Haize warns that Hawkins is not Mathurin or Kuminga — he is a low-cost shooting experiment whose actual NBA production has not matched the reputation yet.

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?

The Chicago Bulls' NBA Cup schedule is official — and it might tell us very quickly how far Bryson Graham's rebuild has really come.On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down why the Bulls' NBA Cup group could be the perfect early-season measuring stick. Chicago opens group play Oct. 30 at Boston, then hosts Atlanta on Nov. 13, hosts Washington on Nov. 20, and finishes Nov. 25 at Charlotte.Each matchup tells us something different. Boston tests Chicago's ceiling against an East contender. Atlanta tests whether Josh Giddey and the Bulls can handle physical perimeter pressure. Washington gives fans the rebuild-vs-rebuild showdown with Caleb Wilson vs. AJ Dybantsa. And Charlotte may be the floor test — can the Bulls start passing teams in the Play-In tier?Haize also reacts to Patrick Williams being ranked among the NBA's worst contracts and whether the Bulls can realistically fix that problem without sacrificing draft capital. Williams' five-year, $90 million fully guaranteed deal remains one of the biggest leftovers from the previous regime, and his role under Bryson Graham and Tiago Splitter is now far from guaranteed.Plus, could the Bulls lose their best hidden shooter before training camp? Donovan Atwell looked like a cheap developmental shooting option after hitting 45.8% from three in college and Summer League, but his Bulls future may be less secure than expected.

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.

Patrick Williams may be facing the biggest season of his Chicago Bulls career — and this time, his draft status and contract may not save him.On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down The Patrick Williams Problem and why the former No. 4 pick has more to prove than anyone on the roster. Williams has struggled to show meaningful growth, shot a career-low 37.2% from the field in 2025-26, and now has to earn minutes under a front office that did not draft him or give him his five-year, $90 million deal.Haize also looks at why Tre Jones may quietly be one of the most important Bulls this season. Jones averaged 13.5 points, 5.3 assists and 1.1 steals in Chicago while shooting 55.6% from the field, and his nearly 4-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio gives the Bulls a steady low-usage guard who can help organize young players like Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson and Dailyn Swain.Then the spotlight shifts to Leonard Miller, who may be Tiago Splitter's secret weapon. Miller finished last season strong, averaging 16.2 points and 8.2 rebounds in April before Chicago picked up his inexpensive $2.4 million option. His athleticism, rebounding, transition ability and positional versatility give him a real path to minutes — but shooting, defensive discipline and a crowded frontcourt remain major obstacles.

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.

As the Chicago Bulls prepare for the new season, one big question remains: where do Noa Essengue and Patrick Williams fit in Tiago Splitter's rotation? Plus, Caleb Wilson is already generating early Rookie of the Year buzz after an impressive Summer League.

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.

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.

 The Chicago Bulls front office reset may be the most important move of the entire offseason.Haize breaks down why Artūras Karnišovas failed as the leader of the Bulls' basketball operation — not because he was a bad person, but because his process, communication, player evaluation, and refusal to choose a real direction left Chicago stuck in the NBA's middle for years.From reported tunnel vision on players like Patrick Williams, to poor internal communication, to staff members feeling ignored, the previous front office created a Bulls team without clear organizational alignment.Now, Bryson Graham has not proven he can build a contender yet — but through one offseason, the process already feels different. Graham has publicly acknowledged a rebuild, opened up collaboration across scouting, analytics, player development, and basketball operations, hired Tiago Splitter to match the roster timeline, and built around young pieces like Caleb Wilson, Dailyn Swain, Matas Buzelis, Josh Giddey, Noa Essengue, and Nic Claxton.Haize also explains why Graham still deserves criticism for the second-round pick decisions, but why his willingness to take accountability matters.

The Chicago Bulls may have just created the cleanest evaluation season Josh Giddey has ever had in Chicago

Kris and Larro awake from a long slumber to discuss the hiring of Bryson Graham, the Bulls' draft decisions, free agency signings, and team outlook. Kris also delivers an apology about Patrick Williams.

Caleb Wilson made it clear: he wants to win Rookie of the Year for the Chicago Bulls. But does he actually have a real path to beat AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, and Cam Boozer?On today's episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down Wilson's strongest Rookie of the Year case, why his two-way production could matter more than raw scoring, and how playing next to Josh Giddey, Nic Claxton, Matas Buzelis, and Dailyn Swain could unlock him early.Haize also dives into one of the Bulls' most underrated offseason tools: the Bird rights for Anfernee Simons and Collin Sexton. Could Chicago use sign-and-trade possibilities to turn both guards into future draft capital, young players, or rotation depth instead of losing them for nothing?Plus, the voicemail line is back as Bulls fans react to Caleb Wilson, Dailyn Swain, Patrick Williams, spacing concerns, possible free agent targets, and what Chicago still needs this offseason.Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/BullsCentralPodGet at us:Email: BullsCentralPod@gmail.comTwitter:@BullsCentralPodPhone: ‪(773) 270-2799‬Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Chicago Bulls still have major offseason flexibility, and Haize breaks down how the team can use its remaining cap space to improve the roster, absorb contracts, and potentially add draft capital. After the Nic Claxton trade, Chicago may still have roughly $30 million in cap room, giving the Bulls a chance to become a trade-absorption team instead of relying only on free agency.On today's episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize looks at realistic Bulls trade targets who could help on the floor, including Lu Dort, Isaiah Joe, Wendell Carter Jr., Jarrett Allen, Jonathan Isaac, Isaiah Hartenstein, Jalen Suggs, Dejounte Murray, and Cam Johnson. The Bulls need shooting, defense, physicality, and roster balance around Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson, Dailyn Swain, and Nic Claxton.Haize also breaks down contract-dump targets Chicago could take on for draft compensation, including DeMar DeRozan and Jakob Poeltl, and why the Bulls should ask one key question in those talks: what draft capital is attached?The episode also dives into the Bulls' rotation crunch heading into the 2026-27 season. With Caleb Wilson and Dailyn Swain joining the roster, players like Leonard Miller, Patrick Williams, Noa Essengue, Rob Dillingham, Tre Jones, Kam Jones, Jalen Smith, and Isaac Okoro could all face real pressure for consistent minutes.Plus, Haize reacts to Bryson Graham defending the Bulls' second-round draft trades, including the Braden Smith move to Indiana for Kam Jones, cash considerations, and future draft value. Was Chicago smart to preserve roster flexibility, or did the Bulls sell a pick too cheaply?

The Chicago Bulls are officially entering a new era under Bryson Graham, and the biggest question now is simple: who actually survives the rebuild?

Bulls Gold returns to bask in the excitement of draft season with Big Dave from CHGO Bulls. We do a temperature check on Caleb Wilson, the likely #4 pick, and how he could change the culture and mentality of the Bulls. Then we open up the floor for who's catching our attention with the the 15th pick, and whether the Bulls should consider moving up to grab the right player. The Bulls are still interviewing head coach candidates, and we compare our wish list for coach, and whether there's a candidate who could come out of nowhere to get the job. We also react to Bryson Graham's first month on the job, the disappointment in Patrick Williams, and more.

Patrick Williams, alongside his wife Neri, founded the interior design practice Berdoulat. In this conversation we explore his first book: The House Rules. It is part memoir, part point of view, part a plea for the house to rule. It is something to treasure as an object and as a window into Patrick's mind. In this episode, we are fortunate enough to be sitting right at the heart of Patrick and Neri's home in Bath where their shop and workspace are also to be found. I think that it is a safe assumption that anyone who makes, creates, designs is a keen observer. They are porous to the world around them. They notice. They absorb. A gift and a ritual all entwined. It is our good luck in this episode to closely observe one such observer. And whilst I am sure that Patrick observes cutlery and spectacles, cloud formations and apples, it is the observation of buildings that pre-occupies him. The work of Berdoulat is about homes, houses, spaces and places and some really rather wonderful furniture too. They excavate stories, eschew excess and breathe life into buildings. Quietly and with thoughtful intention. In this conversation, we will explore where the idea to write the book came from, the highs and lows of the writing process, the impact of the building within which it was created, the selection of imagery, the design of the book and why there just had to be 'another spoonful'. I am very grateful indeed to have worked with Holly Fisher on this exploration of sonic identity. She is the most excellent producer indeed. BerdoulatThe House Rules

Lyrics to “Play-In Parade” by Doug Thonus Walked in with the fourth pick and a lottery crew, Two future all-stars and a clean cap too. Then called Orlando like “I know what to do,” Two firsts for Vooch and some bad salary too. Built a mid three that can't guard anybody, Iso ball heroes and defense looking shoddy. Pseudo stars for the billboard view, A low ceiling strategy to make the Fan's woo. Three long years of the same routine, Blame Lonzo's knee for everything. Add Pat and Dalen, our draft pick busts And when we trade, teams just fleece us A.K. proudly leads the Play-In Parade, Hang the banner, 9th place made! Beat down by Miami again No rebuild here, just secret extensions Standing still as the window decays, Then make a move when value's gone away. Empty speeches while the fans complain, A.K. smiles and waves at his play-in parade Held on to Coby and Ayo too long, Just second round picks, the value was gone. “No shortcuts here,” that's the line he sells, But every move is just mid as hell When the Pelicans called with a franchise deal, He passed for a project instead of taking the steal Have a pile of cap room when free agency's iffy, Trying to build the future around Josh Giddey. Keep mediocre players instead of waive When losing some games get the odds raised Chasing meaningless wins in the month of March, While the draft board's loaded with future stars. A.K. proudly leads the Play-In Parade, Hang the banner, 9th place made! Beat down by Miami again No rebuild here, just secret extensions Standing still as the window decays, Then make a move when value's gone away. Empty speeches while the fans complain, A.K. smiles and waves at his play-in parade A.K. proudly leads the Play-In Parade, Hang the banner, 9th place made! Beat down by Miami again No rebuild here, just secret extensions   Standing still as the window decays, Then make a move when value's gone away. Empty speeches while the fans complain, A.K. smiles and waves at his play-in parade 9th seed! 9th seed! Hang the banner high! 9th seed! 9th seed! That's playoffs, right? 9th seed! 9th seed! Hang the banner high! 9th seed! 9th seed! That's playoffs, right? A.K. proudly leads the Play-In Parade, Hang the banner, 9th place made! Beat down by Miami again No rebuild here, just secret extensions Standing still as the window decays, Then make a move when value's gone away. Empty speeches while the fans complain, A.K. smiles and waves at his play-in parade 9th seed! 9th seed! Hang the banner high! 9th seed! 9th seed! That's playoffs, right? 9th seed! 9th seed! Hang the banner high! 9th seed! 9th seed! That's playoffs, right? AKME by by See Red Fred. AKME, AKME....When will those boos turn into cheers? AKME, AKME...We've been a play-in for years.  With no winning in the scores, Just more money for the Dorfs, You can't say I'm satisfied.  So AKME...AKME...Ain't it time that you resigned? AKME, you're dutiful yeah, but ain't it time we said goodbye? AKME, I can't stand it...We have one playoff win in five.  All your teams were never close, now the league thinks you're a dope. What goes on between your ears? AKME….AKME...Where will you lead us from here? (ooh-yeah…ohhh…See Red Fred's so upset with you Why did you trade Ayo, all the pain will never go Doo-doo-doo, AKME don't you say to me, we just need continuity) It's like a sharp stick in your eye, but AKME, AKME...Patrick Williams makes me cry (yeah) You average one playoff win in five...with no winning in the scores, just more money for the Dorfs, you can't say we're satisfied.  But AKME, you've been a bit better lately. Some trades you made, they were alright. Ball for Okoro was an awesome move. But AKME, AKME...ain't it time that you resigned? AKME, AKME...We have one playoff win in five.  AKME, AKME...I can't say you didn't try. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Chicago Bulls have 22 games left in the season… and everything is on the line.

The Chicago Bulls injury report keeps growing… and it's starting to feel suspicious

The Chicago Bulls' rebuild just hit another major setback.

The Chicago Bulls' loss to the Toronto Raptors revealed everything.Yes — the Bulls are tanking. Yes — they competed. But the rotations told the real story.Josh Giddey didn't look like himself. Matas Buzelis struggled. Rob Dillingham played just 10 minutes. Jaden Ivey didn't play at all. Patrick Williams logged nearly 30 minutes. Nick Richards barely saw the floor.If the Bulls are losing anyway, why aren't they prioritizing development?Are they trying to: • Increase Anfernee Simons' trade value? • Set up a sign-and-trade? • Inflate Patrick Williams' value? • Or are they just short-sighted again?Haize breaks down why this “reset” doesn't fully make sense yet, what the new NBA tanking rules mean for Chicago's timeline, and why this likely won't be a multi-year tank.If you think this is part of a master plan… let's talk about it.#ChicagoBulls #BullsNation #JoshGiddey #MatasBuzelis #NBA #ArturasKarnisovasPodcast Links: https://linktr.ee/BullsCentralPodGet at us:Email: BullsCentralPod@gmail.comTwitter:@BullsCentralPodPhone: ‪(773) 270-2799‬Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/chicago-bulls-central/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

IS JESUS REAL? On this weeks episode we have my campus pastor Patrick Williams on the relay to you how he knows Jesus is real! I hope you are blessed and encouraged by this word!

At a moment when the world feels noisier, faster, and more demanding than ever, what role can beauty play in helping us slow down, reconnect, and remember what matters?As the year draws to a close, Christiana Figueres, Tom Rivett-Carnac and Paul Dickinson step back from targets, timelines and political headwinds to explore how craft, design and the quiet appreciation for our objects and spaces can shape both the worlds we live in, and the futures we are trying to build.Tom is joined in Bath by designer and artist Patrick Williams, founder of the design studio and workshop Berdoulat, whose work is rooted in traditional craft, natural materials and a deep sensitivity to place. Together they reflect on what happens when efficiency crowds out care, when buildings and objects lose their connection to human bodies and natural rhythms, and why the climate crisis may also be a crisis of beauty.As we reflect on a challenging year for climate action, we also offer an invitation for the days ahead: to slow down, to notice what restores us, and to remember that meaningful change is sustained not just by effort, but by care, beauty and joy.Learn more:
