Episode Details

🐂🔥 The Chicago Bulls may not be done reshaping this roster — and the trade deadline could be where Bryson Graham’s real plan starts to reveal itself.

On today’s episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down which of the Bulls’ key veterans could become trade chips before the deadline, including Norman Powell, Zach Collins, Nic Claxton, Tre Jones, and Jalen Smith. Graham did not make flashy short-term moves just to chase mediocrity. Instead, he built a roster with optionality, tradable contracts, team options, expiring deals, and veterans who can help the young core now — or bring back assets later.

Could Norman Powell’s two-year deal become one of the best trade chips on the market? Does Nic Claxton’s fit with Josh Giddey raise his value? Could Tre Jones be too useful for a contender to ignore? And with the Bulls’ frontcourt getting crowded, could Jalen Smith or Zach Collins become the odd men out?

Plus, Haize reacts to Tiago Splitter’s early impact as Bulls head coach. Splitter is coaching the first two Summer League games, setting a serious tone, emphasizing rebounding, defense, effort, communication, and development. Caleb Wilson and Dailyn Swain have already given their first impressions — and it sounds like Tiago is bringing the exact kind of no-nonsense approach this Bulls rebuild needs.
