Giddey continues his near-triple-double pace despite his ankle injury, while White—coming off a career season—looks close to making his long-awaited debut.Haize also breaks down the status of Zach Collins, who could return shortly after November 24th, giving Chicago a massive boost to its frontcourt rotation.Then we shift to the trade market:Instead of chasing Anthony Davis, Haize highlights realistic and impactful trade targets including Domantas Sabonis, Daniel Gafford, and Yves Missi, explaining why each fits—and why the Bulls must be smart with timing.We also dive into:

The Chicago Bulls have dropped from 1st to 6th in the East, but don't let that fool you — this team has faced the NBA's toughest schedule (.593 opponent win percentage) and is still standing tall at 6–4.Haize breaks down why these losses to the Bucks, Cavs, and Spurs aren't signs of regression, but a reality check — and how this next stretch could launch Chicago's momentum with Coby White and Zach Collins nearing their returns.We'll preview tonight's Bulls vs. Pistons matchup featuring Cade Cunningham's 27.5 PPG explosion and Jalen Duren's defensive leap, plus what the Bulls must do to attack Detroit's elite defense and get back in the win column.Also: Noa Essengue dazzles in his first G-League game, dropping 28 points and 8 boards — proving why Chicago's player development pipeline is looking stronger than ever.All that and more on Chicago Bulls Central with your host, Haize — your #1 spot for everything Bulls Nation.

Are the Chicago Bulls STILL the team to beat in the Eastern Conference?

The Chicago Bulls are discovering something every good team hits eventually: you can win with depth, but you advance with stars. After back-to-back losses to teams with closers like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Donovan Mitchell, Josh Giddey didn't sugarcoat the truth — the Bulls don't have a clear No. 1 option in the clutch, and it's showing.In this episode, Haize breaks down why Chicago must eventually identify a true go-to scorer, whether that's Coby White, Giddey himself, or a future version of Matas Buzelis. We also look at what contenders like Indiana have proven: depth matters, but elite players still separate great teams from good ones.Next, we dive into why Bulls fans shouldn't view Ayo Dosunmu vs. Coby White as an either/or situation. Thanks to Giddey's team-friendly deal and massive upcoming cap space, Chicago may be able to retain both guards long-term if contracts align.We also provide an update on Zach Collins, who is nearing a return pending a CT scan but still wearing a cast. A December comeback looks realistic.Finally, we preview Bulls vs Spurs — a matchup featuring Victor Wembanyama's monster start, San Antonio's 7–2 record, and the keys to slowing down a team with eight double-digit scorers.Plus, listener voicemails on Billy Donovan's rotation decisions, Jalen Smith's minutes, and why Bulls fans shouldn't waste energy on outside noise.Podcast 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
