The CHGO Bulls crew evaluate the trade that brought Josh Giddey to the Chicago Bulls for Alex Caruso in a player-for-player deal on Thursday. Most were shocked that the Bulls got no draft compensation from the Oklahoma City Thunder in the deal. Did Sam Presti get the better of Arturas Karnisovas in this negotiation? Matt, Big Dave and Will give their grades for the trade. Plus, the guys discuss how each team’s PR handled the news of the trade and how the Bulls are being perceived in NBA circles. And if the Caruso trade signifies a rebuild beginning, what is the next domino to fall? Zach LaVine to the Kings, a DeMar DeRozan sign-and-trade, waiving Lonzo Ball?

The CHGO Bulls crew react to breaking news that the Chicago Bulls traded Alex Caruso to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Josh Giddey. Oh, and our friend and 15-year NBA veteran Kendall Gill was in studio with us when the news broke! Matt, Big Dave and Will get Kendall’s thoughts on the trade and Giddey's fit with the team. Is this the first of more trades to come? Does he want the Bulls to make a move on draft night? Would Kendall rather see the Bulls let go of Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, or both? What should the Bulls do with Lonzo Ball and Patrick Williams? All these questions answered and more from the Flyin’ Illini legend!

The CHGO Bulls crew discuss the latest offseason trade and free agency rumors surrounding the Chicago Bulls, Zach LaVine and Alex Caruso. Matt Moore of the Action Network reported on Tuesday that the Kings are still trying to package Harrison Barnes, Kevin Huerter and draft capital in a trade, possibly to Chicago for LaVine and Caruso. Is that enough of a return? Elsewhere, Moore also reported that the Bulls are interested in Hawks big man Clint Capela, but will have competition among several other teams. And the Hornets have their eyes on Bulls restricted free agent Patrick Williams. Matt, Big Dave and Will break down all the latest offseason chatter. Plus, the guys give a sneak preview of Will’s brand new 2024 NBA Mock Draft, including a trade for the Bulls!

The CHGO Bulls crew discuss newly released mocks for the 2024 NBA Draft, including Bulls selections of Rob Dillingham and Ron Holland. Could either of these lottery picks fall to #11? Holland offers great size and a high motor at the wing position, while Dillingham is a naturally gifted but undersized score-first guard. Which would be a better fit for Chicago’s roster next season and beyond? Would Duke’s Kyle Filipowski - who worked out for the Bulls on Monday - be a reach with the 11th pick? Plus, the guys react to the Celtics winning the NBA championship.

The CHGO Bulls crew break down new reporting from Will Gottlieb that the Bulls turned down multiple high-value offers for Alex Caruso. The two-time All Defensive Team star is widely sought after, and the Bulls received several calls about him leading up to the trade deadline. Sources indicate that more than one offer included multiple first round picks, and even a top-10 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. But according to the source, “there was a mandate from the Reinsdorfs to fight for the Playoffs.” So Arturas Karnisovas held onto Caruso past the deadline. Matt, Big Dave and Will analyze this report, and what it means for the Bulls, Caruso, and the future of the organization.

The CHGO Bulls crew discuss a trade proposal that would send Alex Caruso to the Philadelphia 76ers for their #16 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. A 76ers reporter stated on the Philly radio waves that the team wants to trade that #16 pick for win-now talent, and spoke Caruso’s name as the team’s primary target. Is that a solid return for Caruso, if Arturas Karnisovas is finally willing to listen to offers for his defensive ace? Plus, what kind of deal could the Bulls swing with Philly if they include Zach LaVine in the trade with Caruso? Matt, Big Dave and Will also reflect on the passing and legendary career of “The Logo” Jerry West.

The CHGO Bulls crew discuss the Bulls possibly selecting G-League Ignite prospect Tyler Smith with the 11th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. SB Nation’s Ricky O’Donnell has the Bulls drafting Smith in his newest mock draft. Why is Ricky one of so few who believe Smith could be taken this high? Smith’s consensus mock draft placement is currently in the mid-20s. Could he be a sneaky choice at #11? How would his game fit with some of the Bulls’ current pieces? Matt, Big Dave and Will also reminisce about an iconic MJ performance - The Flu Game - on its 27th anniversary.

The CHGO Bulls crew discuss new intel from ESPN’s Jonathan Givony that the Bulls could try to trade up in the 2024 NBA Draft for Matas Buzelis. Buzelis’s family is from Lithuania, where Bulls VP Arturas Karnisovas is also from. Givony reports that AK has had his eyes on Buzelis for awhile. The 6’9 forward also has Chicago roots, having played part of his high school career at Hinsdale Central. Is Buzelis a strong enough prospect to warrant the Bulls trading up for him on draft night?

The CHGO Bulls crew discuss a Zach LaVine trade to the Utah Jazz proposed by ESPN’s NBA Front Office Insider Bobby Marks. The proposed trade would send LaVine out west for Jordan Clarkson and John Collins, who each have two years remaining on their contracts. Matt and Big Dave weigh the pros and cons of the trade, and how well Collins and Clarkson would fit with the Bulls. Would most Bulls fans approve of this trade, or see it as selling too low?

The CHGO Bulls crew react to the news that Bulls General Manager Marc Eversley has signed a three-year contract extension. Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic reported on Tuesday that the Bulls GM received the new long term deal, which will begin in July. Matt, Big Dave and Will discuss the significance of Eversley re-upping his contract with the Bulls, after reports that he was being considered for front office jobs with other NBA teams this offseason. Eversley was Arturas Karnisovas’ first hire after AK took the VP job in 2020. Are the two executives still on the same page when it comes to the future of the franchise? Plus, the guys circle back to their Tuesday conversation about draft prospect Nikola Topic, who reportedly has a partially torn ACL. And did the Bulls make a draft promise to Devin Carter?

The CHGO Bulls crew discuss Nikola Topic’s recent slide down several NBA mock drafts. The Serbian point guard was a consensus top-3 pick as recently as the middle of May. But another knee injury during his overseas playoffs has lottery teams weighing risk vs reward. Matt, Big Dave and Will review how far Topic has fallen in the latest mock drafts, one of which has him falling all the way to the Bulls at 11. If Topic does fall in AK’s lap, should he swing big on a player with great upside? The guys evaluate how Topic would fit into the current Bulls roster, and potentially alongside Coby White in the starting backcourt if Zach LaVine is traded. Plus, Darnell Mayberry reports that the Oklahoma City Thunder are interested in Patrick Williams.

The CHGO Bulls crew react to recent comments from former Bulls player Derrick Jones Jr about his time in Chicago. Jones Jr, who will play for the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals beginning later this week, said his decision to leave the Bulls wasn’t about money. He wanted a chance to play more and showcase what he can do. Seems like a shot at Billy Donovan, who seldomly played Jones Jr during his Bulls tenure. Matt and Big Dave also discuss the Chicago Sports Network becoming the new home for the Bulls, White Sox and Blackhawks.

According to Jonathan Givony’s latest mock draft, the Bulls, Blazers and Grizzlies are all keen on Clingan, and potentially willing to move up to get their man.

Plus, the guys react to Dallas punching their ticket to the NBA Finals to face Boston. Should Bulls fans be happy or frustrated to see former Bulls players thriving in the NBA Playoffs?

The CHGO Bulls crew discuss the latest reports and rumors from NBA sources tying DeMar DeRozan to the Clippers and Zach LaVine to the 76ers. Both Bulls stars could be contingency plans for competitive teams looking to bolster their rosters this offseason. If Paul George leaves the Clippers to play with Joel Embiid in Philly, it could open the door for a DeMar homecoming in L.A. Could the Bulls get value back in a sign-and-trade? Or, if the 76ers can’t pry George away from the Clippers, might they look to LaVine as an alternative piece to pair with Embiid and Tyrese Maxey?
