Podcast appearances and mentions of Zach Collins

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 offseason rumor mill is getting spicy, and Haize is playing Facts or Cap on some of the biggest names being connected to the rebuild. Could the Bulls use their cap space to take on Ja Morant's contract and land draft assets? Should Chicago pursue Mitchell Robinson as a center upgrade? Could Colin Sexton or Zach Collins return as veteran bench pieces? And what does Matas Buzelis playing for Lithuania mean for his development heading into next season?Haize starts with the wildest idea: Ja Morant to the Bulls. The argument is that Chicago could use Morant's contract as “good bad money” if Memphis attaches real draft capital. But while Morant is still talented and capable of raising a team's competitive floor, Haize explains why Chicago may not be the right situation. The Bulls are still early in a rebuild, and Morant likely needs a team with a stronger established culture and a win-now structure.Then the conversation turns to Mitchell Robinson, who has been connected to the Bulls as a potential free-agent center target. Robinson's offensive rebounding, rim protection, and size make sense stylistically for Chicago, especially with the Bulls needing center help. But his availability, role, price point, and long-term fit all matter as Bryson Graham builds the next version of this roster.Haize also breaks down why a potential return for Colin Sexton or Zach Collins could make sense. Young teams still need veterans, and players like Tre Jones, Jalen Smith, Sexton, and Collins could help stabilize the locker room without blocking the development of Chicago's young core. The biggest question is whether Collins can stay healthy enough to fill that role consistently.Plus, Matas Buzelis is set to play for Lithuania this summer, and that could be a major development boost before training camp. International basketball has helped several young NBA players take a leap, and Buzelis could benefit from meaningful reps, added responsibility, and a faster rhythm entering the season.The show also features voicemail reactions on Tre Jones, Jalen Smith, Isaac Okoro, Caleb Wilson's leadership quotes, the Bulls' coaching timeline, Nic Richards, Guerschon Yabusele, Josh Giddey narratives, and how Bryson Graham may want to reshape the roster.

Who is the highest profile NBA Troll...Zach Collins greatest Blazer moment...Are we not fully appreciating what the Thunder are doing...and let the LeBron James speculation season begin.

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

The Chicago Bulls' rebuild just hit another major setback.

Knoxville High School Band Director Zach Collins discusses the recent successes of the jazz band department.

The Chicago Bulls trade deadline picture is getting clearer — and louder.On today's episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down the latest injury updates on Josh Giddey and Zach Collins, Billy Donovan's public praise of Nikola Vučević after yet another clutch moment, and why that praise could actually signal a risky future decision for the Bulls.We also dive into the Bulls reportedly asking for an unprotected first-round pick for Coby White, why that may be difficult to get, and how teams like the Clippers, Timberwolves, and Hawks could realistically enter the conversation.Plus, Jake Fischer drops a harsh truth about Patrick Williams' trade value that Bulls fans may not want to hear.

The Chicago Bulls are fighting through the injury storm

The Chicago Bulls somehow keep getting weirder — and it might be their biggest strength.

The Chicago Bulls are at a crossroads — and Billy Donovan just made it very clear what he wants from Matas Buzelis going forward

Cam Smith and K.C. Johnson dive into a tough stretch for the Bulls, starting with Saturday night's loss to the Bucks and the challenges that came with it. They discuss the impact of injuries, including Zach Collins, and dive into standout performances from Anthony Edwards and Giannis Antetokounmpo, with a closer look at Giannis' dominant showing against Chicago. The conversation continues with Giannis' late windmill dunk that sparked a postgame scuffle and a debate over whether it crossed the NBA's unwritten rules. Cam and K.C. also recap Monday night's loss to the Timberwolves, examine the injury concerns surrounding Coby White and Josh Giddey, and reflect on their own personal injury histories to put the latest developments into perspective.

The Chicago Bulls season just keeps getting wilder

The Chicago Bulls finally snapped their 7-game losing streak with a gritty win over the Hornets — and it didn't look like an accident.

The Chicago Bulls' season has spiraled from promising to panic mode — and tonight, we break down exactly why.

The Chicago Bulls have officially cooled off — and the bench that once carried this team has slid into the danger zone. After a 5-0 start, Chicago now sits at 9-10, losing 7 of their last 10 games and watching both the defense and offense take a major step backward.

Cam Smith and K.C. Johnson are back at it on the By The Horns podcast after a rollercoaster stretch for the Bulls. They break down what went wrong in New Orleans during the 143–130 loss and revisit Chicago's close call against the Wizards, highlighting the defensive issues that continue to surface. They also dive into Billy Donovan's lineup change against the Pelicans that involved sitting Matas Buzelis to open the half, a Zach Collins injury update from K.C., and why Ayo Dosunmu's strong start to the season has been a major bright spot. Plus, they look ahead to a crucial opportunity for the Bulls to flip the script against a pair of sub-.500 opponents in the Hornets and Pacers.

The Chicago Bulls may finally be getting the reinforcements they desperately need.K.C. Johnson reports that Josh Giddey and Coby White both fully practiced and could return as soon as the Bulls take on the Utah Jazz. 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

The Chicago Bulls just pulled off their best comeback since 1988-89, and Josh Giddey is officially entering superstar territory. Two straight triple-doubles, a historic stat line not seen since Michael Jordan, and complete control in the clutch as the Bulls erased a 24-point deficit to beat the 76ers.But this win wasn't just about Giddey — it was about Chicago outworking Philly on every level: • 58 points in the paint • 31 bench points • 32 second-chance points • 31 fast-break points • 48 rebounds • 23 points off turnovers • And holding the 76ers to 18% shooting in the 4th quarterNikola Vucevic drilled the go-ahead corner three and proved—AGAIN—why Bulls fans need to put some respeck on his name.Meanwhile, the Bulls offense looks better than it has in years, the defense is stepping up late, and Chicago sits #1 in the Eastern Conference despite missing Coby White, Zach Collins, and Ayo Dosunmu.But the tests don't stop. The next four games (Bucks, Cavs, Spurs, Pistons) will tell us exactly who this team is.Tap in with Haize as we break down the comeback, Giddey's leap, Vooch's clutch moments, and why Bulls fans should be excited again.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
