Bulls Hq

On a new episode of BullsHQ, host Mark Karantzoulis (@mkhoops) is joined by podcaster, writer, and long-time friend of the show, Morten Jensen (@msjnba) to discuss the high-level, strategic approach the Bulls should take into the 2020 NBA Draft. Discussed in detail, Mark and Morten ponder the legitimacy of a 'best player approach' if said player is a traditional big man; whether the Bulls are actually in a good position with the No. 4 pick; if there's more validity in trading up, down, or out of the No. 4 position; if it makes any sense to trade Lauri Markkanen at the draft for a smaller, more versatile combo forward.  Also on the show, some a conversation on the coaching search now that former OKC Thunder coach Billy Donovan has been linked to the Bulls head coaching position, and why a coach like Donovan makes more sense for the Bulls than other first-time candidates.   Thanks to our partners Indeed and Bet Online.  Try Indeed out for a free $75 dollar credit at Indeed.com/BLUEWIRE.  Go to BetOnline.ag and

On a new episode of BullsHQ, hosts Mark Karantzoulis (@mkhoops) and Fred Pfeiffer (@cbefred) try to make sense of the evolving COVID-19 pandemic that has put the world on pause, including the 2019-20 NBA season. With the NBA season suspended until further notice, Mark and Fred wonder if this is the last we've seen of the Bulls this season, and if so, what does this mean going forward? Do we have enough information to evaluate the young core as a collective? Have we seen enough of Zach LaVine and Coby White together to know how that impacts any draft and free agent decisions? Will potentially losing the final 17 games of the season alter any of the proposed changes that may occur with the front office and coaching staff?  For that and more, tune into BullsHQ.    Thank you to this weeks sponsors, Bet Online.  Head over to BetOnline.ag and use our promo code BLUEWIRE to receive your 50% Welcome Bonus on your First Deposit.
