Episode Details

The Chicago Bulls head coaching search may be entering its final stage — and the Tiago Splitter buzz is getting louder. Haize breaks down Splitter arriving in Chicago for an in-person interview, why the Bulls may be able to offer him more long-term stability than the Portland Trail Blazers, and how Bryson Graham’s player-development vision could shape the next era of Bulls basketball.

But that is only part of the story. The Bulls also hold the No. 4 and No. 15 picks in the 2026 NBA Draft, and trade-up rumors continue to grow. Could Chicago call teams like the Clippers, Kings, Hawks, Mavericks, or Heat on draft night to move up from No. 15 and grab another high-upside prospect?

Haize also dives into one of the most intriguing draft pairings for the Bulls: Cam Boozer at No. 4 and Jayden Quaintance at No. 15. Boozer gives Chicago offensive structure, scoring, rebounding and frontcourt playmaking, while Quaintance brings elite length, rim protection upside and defensive versatility. Could this be one of the cleanest two-pick outcomes for Bryson Graham’s rebuild?
