Episode Details

After years of uncertainty and disappointing results, could the Chicago Bulls finally be moving in the right direction as a new era begins on Madison Street?

Gavriel Wilkins and Torrence Stagger bring their journey through 30 Teams In 24 Days back home to the Windy City to examine the Bulls' outlook entering the 2026-27 NBA season, as the franchise looks to establish a new identity following four consecutive seasons without a playoff appearance.

The guys discuss Chicago's offseason under new basketball operations executive Bryson Graham, including the additions of Norman Powell, Nic Claxton and lottery selections Caleb Wilson and Dailyn Swain. They also examine the excitement surrounding Wilson following his selection with the fourth overall pick and whether the former North Carolina standout can emerge as a foundational piece of the organization's future.

Elsewhere, Gavriel and Torrence assess the importance of Matas Buzelis entering his third NBA season and what the young forward must demonstrate to solidify his place in Chicago's long-term plans. They also evaluate the potential of the Josh Giddey-Norman Powell backcourt and whether the pairing can provide stability as the Bulls continue developing their younger talent.

With Tiago Splitter preparing for his first full season as head coach, the guys discuss what should constitute a successful rebuilding campaign for Chicago. Should the focus be on wins, individual development, establishing a new identity or determining which players belong in the franchise's long-term future?

Finally, Gavriel and Torrence evaluate Chicago's projected 29.5-win total before delivering their official predictions for the Bulls during the upcoming season.
