  <title>Caleb Wilson Voted #1 By Bleacher Report! Are Bulls Fans Sleeping On Patrick Williams?</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;Caleb Wilson continues to build momentum before his rookie season even begins, and now Bleacher Report has voted his work ethic No. 1. 👀🐂&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On today’s episode of Locked On Bulls, Haize and Pat The Designer break down why the national media buzz around Caleb Wilson keeps growing and what that means for expectations entering the 2026-27 NBA season. Wilson has already become one of the most exciting pieces of the Chicago Bulls’ future, but does this latest recognition raise expectations too quickly? Or is this exactly the type of mentality the Bulls need from a young cornerstone?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The guys also discuss whether Bulls fans are overlooking Patrick Williams heading into the season. With so much attention on Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson, Nic Claxton, Norman Powell, Dailyn Swain, Noa Essengue, and Rob Dillingham, Patrick Williams may be flying under the radar. But could a new coaching staff, a different role, and lower expectations actually give P-Will one more chance to become a valuable part of the Bulls’ rotation?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Plus, Haize and Pat react to Bleacher Report’s top 10 NBA trade targets and ask whether the Bulls could realistically land one. Should Bryson Graham be aggressive if the right player becomes available? Or should Chicago stay patient, protect assets, and evaluate this rebuilt roster before making another major move?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Topics Include:&lt;br&gt;Caleb Wilson’s work ethic being voted No. 1 by Bleacher Report&lt;br&gt;Why Caleb Wilson’s rookie hype keeps rising&lt;br&gt;What realistic expectations should be for Wilson&lt;br&gt;Are Bulls fans overlooking Patrick Williams?&lt;br&gt;Patrick Williams’ role in 2026-27&lt;br&gt;Can P-Will still become a valuable Bulls piece?&lt;br&gt;Bleacher Report’s top 10 trade targets&lt;br&gt;Could the Bulls land a major trade target?&lt;br&gt;Should Bryson Graham stay patient or make a swing?&lt;br&gt;Bulls roster outlook before training camp&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Bulls have more young talent, more national intrigue, and more roster questions than they have had in years. Caleb Wilson’s work ethic could help set the tone for the future, Patrick Williams may still have something to prove, and the trade market could decide whether Chicago makes one more move before the season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🎙️ Tune in to Locked On Bulls as Haize and Pat break down Caleb Wilson’s rising national hype, whether Patrick Williams is being overlooked, and if the Bulls could land one of Bleacher Report’s top trade targets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!&lt;br&gt;Odoo&lt;br&gt;Great organizations win because operations matter.

  <title>Could Payton Pritchard UNLOCK The Bulls?! Chicago’s New Offensive Blueprint Could Get Dangerous</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Could Payton Pritchard become the kind of veteran guard who helps accelerate the development of the Chicago Bulls’ young core?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/CEOHaize&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;On today’s &lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chicago Bulls Central&lt;/strong&gt;, Haize breaks down an editorial trade proposal linking &lt;strong&gt;Payton Pritchard&lt;/strong&gt; to Chicago if Boston ever decides not to extend him. This is &lt;strong&gt;not reporting that the Bulls are actively pursuing Pritchard&lt;/strong&gt;, but the basketball fit creates a worthwhile discussion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pritchard’s career &lt;strong&gt;39.4% three-point shooting on 5.2 attempts per game&lt;/strong&gt;, along with his ability to handle secondary creation duties, could potentially make life easier for &lt;strong&gt;Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis and Caleb Wilson&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The real question isn’t simply whether Pritchard is good.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s whether adding another dependable shooter and organizer would allow Chicago’s young forwards to attack &lt;strong&gt;rotating defenses instead of constantly being asked to create against completely set defenses&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Haize also dives deep into one offensive concept that could become especially useful with Chicago’s projected starting five:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chicago action.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/CEOHaize&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The action combines a pin-down screen with an immediate dribble handoff, forcing the receiver’s defender to navigate two obstacles in succession.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/CEOHaize&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;One Bulls version could feature:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/CEOHaize&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Josh Giddey making the entry pass.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/CEOHaize&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Caleb Wilson screening for Norman Powell.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/CEOHaize&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Nic Claxton delivering the handoff.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/CEOHaize&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Powell attacking with momentum.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/CEOHaize&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Matas Buzelis waiting on the weak side.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/CEOHaize&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;That same structure could then be flipped to give Matas more opportunities attacking off movement rather than asking him to beat a set defense from a standstill.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/CEOHaize&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The show also explores the counters available when defenses trail, switch, go underneath or send two defenders toward the handoff — and why the timing between Caleb and Claxton will determine whether the action creates space or clogs the paint.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/CEOHaize&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Finally, Haize examines one of &lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Caleb Wilson’s&lt;/strong&gt; most intriguing college skills: drawing fouls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wilson attempted &lt;strong&gt;181 free throws in 24 games at North Carolina&lt;/strong&gt;, an average of approximately &lt;strong&gt;7.5 attempts per game&lt;/strong&gt;, while reaching at least five made free throws in 17 games.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Could Chicago turn that physicality into a reliable source of offense when perimeter shots stop falling?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🔥 &lt;strong&gt;Topics include:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Payton Pritchard as a potential Bulls target&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Pritchard’s fit next to Josh Giddey&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What a Pritchard addition could mean for Rob Dillingham&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Protecting Chicago’s future assets&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How “Chicago action” works&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Norman Powell as the handoff receiver&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Nic Claxton as a DHO hub&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Caleb Wilson as a screener and rim threat&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Matas attacking rotating defenses&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Counters against switching and trapping&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Caleb’s foul-drawing upside&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How Chicago can manufacture free throws&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why foul pressure matters for the entire offense&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;🎧 Tap in with &lt;strong&gt;Haize&lt;/strong&gt; on &lt;strong&gt;Chicago Bulls Central&lt;/strong&gt; for the full breakdown!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/BullsCentralPod&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Get at us:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Email: BullsCentralPod@gmail.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Twitter:&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/BullsCentralPod&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;@BullsCentralPod&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Phone: ‪(773) 270-2799‬&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Advertising Inquiries: &lt;a href=&#39;https://redcircle.com/brands&#39;&gt;https://redcircle.com/brands&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Privacy &amp; Opt-Out: &lt;a href=&#39;https://redcircle.com/privacy&#39;&gt;https://redcircle.com/privacy&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  <title>Grizzlies Cuts Could Help Bulls?! ESPN Grades Chicago’s Offseason &amp; Phil Jackson Statue Debate</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;Could the Memphis Grizzlies’ roster crunch create a new opportunity for the Chicago Bulls? 👀🐂&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On today’s episode of Locked On Bulls, Haize and Pat The Designer react to insider Jake Fischer reporting that the Grizzlies could cut four players from a group that includes Walter Clayton Jr., Micah Peavy, Jordan Hawkins, D’Angelo Russell, and Kris Murray. While not every name screams obvious Bulls target, Chicago is still a rebuilding team looking for shooting, bench scoring, guard depth, and upside — which makes this situation worth watching.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The guys debate whether Bryson Graham should monitor Memphis closely and whether a player like Jordan Hawkins could be the type of shooter and second-unit scorer the Bulls still need. Could Walter Clayton Jr. or Micah Peavy be worth a developmental look? Would D’Angelo Russell even make sense for this roster? Or should Chicago avoid chasing another team’s roster leftovers and focus on the players already in the building?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Haize and Pat also react to ESPN’s grade for the Bulls’ offseason moves and whether Chicago is being judged fairly. The Bulls added Caleb Wilson, Dailyn Swain, Nic Claxton, Norman Powell, Zach Collins, and reshaped the roster under a new front office and coaching staff. But did the offseason truly fix enough? Or are questions around shooting, bench creation, half-court offense, and long-term star upside still holding the grade down?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Plus, the guys close with a legacy debate: should Phil Jackson get a statue from the Chicago Bulls? Jackson helped lead one of the greatest dynasties in NBA history, but should coaches be honored with statues the same way franchise legends are? And if the Bulls do it for Phil, what does that say about how the organization honors its championship era?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Topics Include:&lt;br&gt;Memphis Grizzlies roster cuts to watch&lt;br&gt;Walter Clayton Jr., Micah Peavy, Jordan Hawkins, D’Angelo Russell, and Kris Murray&lt;br&gt;Should the Bulls target Jordan Hawkins?&lt;br&gt;Can Chicago still find bench scoring before the season?&lt;br&gt;Bryson Graham’s final roster decisions&lt;br&gt;ESPN grading the Bulls offseason moves&lt;br&gt;Did the Bulls get enough credit for their offseason?&lt;br&gt;Biggest remaining Bulls roster concerns&lt;br&gt;Should Phil Jackson get a Bulls statue?&lt;br&gt;Bulls legacy, history, and honoring the dynasty era&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Bulls may not be expected to make another major move, but roster cuts around the league could still create opportunities. If the right shooter or scorer becomes available, Chicago has to decide whether to act — or trust the roster Bryson Graham has already built.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🎙️ Tune in to Locked On Bulls as Haize and Pat break down possible Grizzlies cuts, ESPN’s Bulls offseason grade, and whether Phil Jackson deserves a statue in Chicago.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Everydayer Club&lt;br&gt;If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

  <title>Could The Bulls STEAL Cason Wallace?! Chicago’s 2027 Free-Agent Board Could Get CRAZY</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Could Cason Wallace become the Chicago Bulls’ ideal long-term shooting guard — and could Bryson Graham use next summer’s projected cap space to attack one of the NBA’s most interesting young restricted-free-agent classes?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/CEOHaize&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;On today’s &lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chicago Bulls Central&lt;/strong&gt;, Haize looks beyond aging superstar names and focuses on the 2023 draft class. Chicago is currently projected to have roughly &lt;strong&gt;$55.6 million in cap space&lt;/strong&gt;, although that figure remains preliminary and will change based on options, trades and other roster decisions. Several young players can reach restricted free agency next summer if they remain unsigned past the &lt;strong&gt;October 19 rookie-extension deadline&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the top of the board is &lt;strong&gt;Cason Wallace&lt;/strong&gt;. Wallace averaged 8.6 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.9 steals while earning an All-Defensive selection, and his ability to defend the opponent’s best guard without needing to dominate the basketball could make him an ideal fit next to Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis and Caleb Wilson. The challenge? Oklahoma City appears positioned to keep him, and Chicago may need an aggressive offer approaching $30 million annually just to make the decision uncomfortable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Haize also breaks down &lt;strong&gt;Brandin Podziemski, Anthony Black, Brice Sensabaugh, Noah Clowney, Keyonte George and Dereck Lively II&lt;/strong&gt; as potential young-player targets. Podziemski may be Chicago’s cleanest offensive fit after Wallace, Sensabaugh could be the most attainable scoring option, Keyonte represents the massive home-run swing, while Lively could become a fascinating center alternative if Nic Claxton fails to solidify the position.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then the show turns toward a more immediate opportunity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recent reporting cited in the episode identifies &lt;strong&gt;Walter Clayton Jr. and Jordan Hawkins&lt;/strong&gt; among possible Memphis roster cuts. This is still a situation to monitor — not confirmation that either player will be waived or that Chicago is pursuing them. Clayton’s ability to create offense and Hawkins’ movement shooting make them very different developmental bets for the Bulls’ final roster spot.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finally, Haize digs into one of the least-discussed additions to Chicago’s new coaching staff: &lt;strong&gt;Jordan Brink&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Brink helped direct New York’s replay-challenge process before joining Tiago Splitter’s staff, and one of his recommendations during Game 2 of the Finals directly resulted in a ruling being overturned in a one-point Knicks victory. But replay challenges are only the beginning. Haize explains how Bulls fans can evaluate the new staff through &lt;strong&gt;after-timeout execution, responses to opposing adjustments and late-game organization&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🔥 &lt;strong&gt;Topics include:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cason Wallace as Chicago’s ideal future SG&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bulls projected 2027 cap space&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Restricted free agency explained&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Brandin Podziemski’s fit with Josh Giddey&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Anthony Black’s upside and spacing risk&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Brice Sensabaugh as an attainable scorer&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Noah Clowney as a Claxton contingency&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Keyonte George as the massive scoring swing&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Dereck Lively II’s health gamble&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The October 19 extension deadline&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Walter Clayton Jr. potentially becoming available&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Jordan Hawkins’ movement shooting&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Whether another guard actually deserves Chicago’s final roster spot&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Jordan Brink’s replay-challenge background&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How to recognize better Bulls coaching&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tiago Splitter’s staff and player development&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;🎧 Tap in with &lt;strong&gt;Haize&lt;/strong&gt; on &lt;strong&gt;Chicago Bulls Central&lt;/strong&gt; for the full breakdown!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/BullsCentralPod&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Get at us:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Email: BullsCentralPod@gmail.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Twitter:&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/BullsCentralPod&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;@BullsCentralPod&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Phone: ‪(773) 270-2799‬&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Advertising Inquiries: &lt;a href=&#39;https://redcircle.com/brands&#39;&gt;https://redcircle.com/brands&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Privacy &amp; Opt-Out: &lt;a href=&#39;https://redcircle.com/privacy&#39;&gt;https://redcircle.com/privacy&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  <title>What&#39;s the holdup with the Kawhi Leonard trade?</title>
  <description>
        &lt;p&gt;WHAT IS THE HOLDUP WITH THE KAWHI LEONARD TRADE?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Kawhi Leonard trade rumors continue to swirl, but the biggest question is: what exactly is taking so long? With the Los Angeles Clippers already under major scrutiny following the NBA’s investigation into the circumstances surrounding Kawhi Leonard and the team, there are even bigger questions about what could be happening behind the scenes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Clippers were hit with significant penalties in the investigation, including the loss of five first-round picks, making this situation unlike a typical NBA trade saga. So is the investigation — and everything surrounding it — playing a role in why a Kawhi Leonard trade hasn’t happened yet?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We break down the latest on Kawhi, the Clippers, the investigation, the five first-round picks the team lost, and what could ultimately be holding up a potential blockbuster trade.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Make sure to subscribe to..&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;✅ Dan Bernstein Unfiltered&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;✅ Forward Progress - A Chicago Bears Podcast 🏈&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;✅ Organization Win Championships: A Chicago Bulls Podcast 🏀&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All links to YouTube, Apple, Spotify and more available on 312Sports.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;See Privacy Policy at &lt;a href=&quot;https://art19.com/privacy&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://art19.com/privacy&lt;/a&gt; and California Privacy Notice at &lt;a href=&quot;https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Scoot Henderson To The Bulls?! Buy-Low Gamble, Tiago’s Biggest Test &amp; Taj Gibson Return</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;Should the Chicago Bulls take a buy-low swing on Scoot Henderson, or is that the wrong kind of gamble for Bryson Graham’s front office? 👀🐂&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On today’s episode of Locked On Bulls, Haize and Pat The Designer break down whether Scoot Henderson could make sense as an upside target for Chicago. The Bulls still have questions around guard creation, bench scoring, rim pressure, and long-term backcourt upside. Scoot’s talent is obvious, but the fit would come with real questions. Would he help unlock a faster, more athletic Bulls offense? Or would adding another guard who needs development create more rotation complications next to Josh Giddey, Rob Dillingham, Tre Jones, Norman Powell, and the rest of the roster?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The guys also dive into Tiago Splitter’s biggest early season coaching obstacle. With a rebuilt roster featuring Giddey, Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson, Nic Claxton, Norman Powell, Dailyn Swain, Noa Essengue, Isaac Okoro, Patrick Williams, Jalen Smith, Zach Collins, and more, Splitter has to establish roles quickly. But what is the biggest challenge: fixing the half-court offense, managing shooting concerns, balancing development with winning, or figuring out who actually belongs in the rotation?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Plus, Haize and Pat discuss whether the Bulls should bring Taj Gibson back to Chicago to close out his career. Taj is one of the most respected Bulls of the post-Derrick Rose era, and a return would mean a lot to fans. But would it make sense for the actual roster, or would it be more of a culture move than a basketball move?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Topics Include:&lt;br&gt;Is Scoot Henderson a good buy-low option for the Bulls?&lt;br&gt;What Scoot could bring to Chicago’s backcourt&lt;br&gt;Bulls’ need for more rim pressure and guard creation&lt;br&gt;How Scoot would fit next to Josh Giddey and Rob Dillingham&lt;br&gt;Tiago Splitter’s biggest early season obstacle&lt;br&gt;Bulls half-court offense concerns&lt;br&gt;Rotation battles and player development questions&lt;br&gt;Should the Bulls bring Taj Gibson back?&lt;br&gt;Taj Gibson’s legacy in Chicago&lt;br&gt;Bryson Graham’s next roster-building decision&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Bulls have more talent and intrigue than they have had in years, but the next step is about fit, coaching, and smart roster decisions. Scoot Henderson would be a major upside swing, Tiago Splitter has real early-season problems to solve, and a Taj Gibson return would bring emotion, leadership, and debate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🎙️ Tune in to Locked On Bulls as Haize and Pat break down Scoot Henderson’s potential fit in Chicago, Tiago Splitter’s biggest coaching challenge, and whether Taj Gibson should finish his career with the Bulls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!&lt;br&gt;Odoo&lt;br&gt;Great organizations win because operations matter.

  <title>ESPN Raises TWO Huge Bulls Red Flags: Is Giddey Just A Bridge &amp; Can Claxton Still Anchor The Defense?</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is Josh Giddey really part of Bryson Graham’s long-term vision for the Chicago Bulls — or could he eventually become a bridge to whatever comes next?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/CEOHaize&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;On today’s &lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chicago Bulls Central&lt;/strong&gt;, Haize reacts to ESPN questioning whether Giddey truly fits the future Graham is building in Chicago.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Giddey is only 23 years old and averaged &lt;strong&gt;17.0 points, 8.3 rebounds and 9.1 assists&lt;/strong&gt; last season, while still having three years remaining on his four-year, $100 million contract. But there is an important distinction: &lt;strong&gt;Bryson Graham inherited Giddey. He did not acquire or extend him himself.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That makes 2026-27 a fascinating evaluation year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Can Giddey run an efficient half-court offense? Can he contribute when &lt;strong&gt;Matas Buzelis or Caleb Wilson&lt;/strong&gt; initiates? Can he reduce the damaging turnovers? Can he remain on the floor defensively in closing lineups? And most importantly, does his play actually make Chicago’s young forwards better?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Haize then breaks down a potential hidden identity for Tiago Splitter’s Bulls:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rebounding.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/CEOHaize&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Chicago ranked just &lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;26th in second-chance points at 13.4 per game&lt;/strong&gt; last season. Splitter’s Portland team was dramatically different, generating a league-high 16% of its offense from second chances while also ranking fourth in tracked offensive-rebounding percentage and third in second-chance points per 100 possessions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With &lt;strong&gt;Josh Giddey, Nic Claxton, Caleb Wilson, Matas Buzelis, Jalen Smith and Tobe Awaka&lt;/strong&gt;, Chicago has enough size, athleticism and rebounding potential to manufacture extra offense without needing an elite isolation scorer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finally, ESPN identified &lt;strong&gt;Nic Claxton as Chicago’s biggest X-factor&lt;/strong&gt; — and there’s a legitimate red flag.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Claxton averaged &lt;strong&gt;2.5 blocks per game in 2022-23&lt;/strong&gt;, but that number has declined in every season since, falling to just &lt;strong&gt;1.1 last year&lt;/strong&gt;, while opponents shot &lt;strong&gt;60% at the basket against him&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That matters because Chicago needs Claxton to clean up defensive mistakes behind Giddey, Norman Powell, Matas and Caleb. The Bulls don’t necessarily need Claxton to return to a 2.5-block-per-game monster, but they do need competent rim protection, defensive communication, rebounding and the switchability that has traditionally made him valuable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🔥 &lt;strong&gt;Topics include:&lt;/strong&gt; Josh Giddey’s long-term Bulls fit, whether Giddey is a cornerstone or bridge asset, Bryson Graham’s vision, Matas and Caleb getting more creation opportunities, Chicago’s turnover concerns, Tiago Splitter building a rebounding identity, second-chance scoring, Claxton as a defensive anchor, Tobe Awaka’s rebounding potential, Claxton’s declining block numbers, and whether center could quickly become Chicago’s biggest future need.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🎧 Tap in with &lt;strong&gt;Haize&lt;/strong&gt; on &lt;strong&gt;Chicago Bulls Central&lt;/strong&gt; for the full breakdown!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/BullsCentralPod&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Get at us:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Email: BullsCentralPod@gmail.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Twitter:&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/BullsCentralPod&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;@BullsCentralPod&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Phone: ‪(773) 270-2799‬&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Advertising Inquiries: &lt;a href=&#39;https://redcircle.com/brands&#39;&gt;https://redcircle.com/brands&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Privacy &amp; Opt-Out: &lt;a href=&#39;https://redcircle.com/privacy&#39;&gt;https://redcircle.com/privacy&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  <title>Bulls Are Back In Town! Who Becomes Chicago’s Next All-Star?</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;The Chicago Bulls are back in town ahead of training camp, and the energy around the new-look roster is starting to build. 👀🐂&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On today’s episode of Locked On Bulls, Haize and Pat The Designer discuss Bulls players returning to Chicago before training camp and why that matters for a team trying to build chemistry, establish a new identity, and buy into Tiago Splitter’s system before the 2026-27 NBA season begins.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The guys also ask one of the biggest questions surrounding the franchise: who will be the Bulls’ next All-Star? Could it be Josh Giddey if he takes a leap as a scorer, shooter, and lead playmaker? Is Matas Buzelis the best long-term bet if his Year 3 leap arrives? Can Caleb Wilson grow into that level of player sooner than expected? Or could Nic Claxton or Norman Powell become the most impactful player on a team that surprises people?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Haize and Pat also dive into the Bulls’ biggest concern entering the season: half-court offense. Chicago has athleticism, size, defensive upside, transition potential, and young talent, but can this team consistently score when the game slows down? With questions around three-point shooting, spacing, shot creation, and late-clock offense, the Bulls will need Tiago Splitter to build a system that gets easy looks for Giddey, Buzelis, Wilson, Powell, Claxton, and the bench.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Topics Include:&lt;br&gt;Bulls players back in town before training camp&lt;br&gt;Why early chemistry matters for Chicago&lt;br&gt;Tiago Splitter’s first training camp with the Bulls&lt;br&gt;Who will be the Bulls’ next All-Star?&lt;br&gt;Josh Giddey’s All-Star path&lt;br&gt;Matas Buzelis’ star upside&lt;br&gt;Caleb Wilson’s long-term ceiling&lt;br&gt;Biggest concern with the Bulls’ half-court offense&lt;br&gt;Can Chicago overcome shooting and spacing issues?&lt;br&gt;Bulls 2026-27 season expectations&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Bulls have more intrigue than they have had in years, but now the real work begins. If the young core develops, the next All-Star could already be on the roster. But if the half-court offense struggles, Chicago’s ceiling may be limited no matter how much talent is in the building.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🎙️ Tune in to Locked On Bulls as Haize and Pat break down the Bulls returning before training camp, who could become Chicago’s next All-Star, and the biggest concern with the half-court offense.&lt;br&gt;Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!&lt;br&gt;Odoo&lt;br&gt;Great organizations win because operations matter.

  <title>Could The Knicks PAY The Bulls To Take Another Young Player?! 👀🐂</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Could the New York Knicks actually PAY the Chicago Bulls to take another young player off their hands?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/CEOHaize&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;On today’s &lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chicago Bulls Central&lt;/strong&gt;, Haize breaks down a proposed trade opportunity involving &lt;strong&gt;Tyler Kolek and Pacôme Dadiet&lt;/strong&gt; as New York operates close to the second apron and potentially looks to open another roster spot.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Important distinction: &lt;strong&gt;this is a trade concept from Knicks On SI — not a report that Chicago and New York are actively negotiating.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/CEOHaize&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;But the idea is fascinating.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/CEOHaize&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Chicago still has an open roster spot, financial flexibility, and a direct developmental connection to both players through new director of player development &lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jordan Brink&lt;/strong&gt;, who previously worked with Kolek and Dadiet in New York.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kolek may be the more immediately useful target. He gives Chicago another pass-first organizer, insurance behind Josh Giddey and Tre Jones, and a potentially intriguing contrast to the scoring-oriented &lt;strong&gt;Rob Dillingham&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dadiet is the bigger developmental gamble. He remains only 21 and has intriguing size at 6-foot-9, but Chicago already has a crowded developmental wing group featuring &lt;strong&gt;Dailyn Swain, Noa Essengue, Leonard Miller, Patrick Williams, Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If the Knicks want Chicago to take Dadiet, should New York have to attach draft compensation?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then Haize breaks down why the Bulls’ backup-center competition shouldn’t simply be framed as &lt;strong&gt;Jalen Smith vs Zach Collins&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Smith brings pick-and-pop shooting, pace and offensive rebounding. Collins brings strength, screening, post play and connective passing. Behind starter &lt;strong&gt;Nic Claxton&lt;/strong&gt;, those two could provide Tiago Splitter with dramatically different options depending on the matchup.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And yes — they can absolutely push one another for minutes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finally, the Bulls want to play FAST next season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But could turnovers become the fatal flaw in Tiago Splitter’s system?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Splitter’s Portland team reached the playoffs, but also committed a league-high &lt;strong&gt;17.3 turnovers per game&lt;/strong&gt;. Chicago already finished among the NBA’s more turnover-prone teams, and a young roster built around &lt;strong&gt;Josh Giddey, Caleb Wilson, Matas Buzelis, Dailyn Swain and Rob Dillingham&lt;/strong&gt; could make that problem even more dangerous.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Haize explains why Chicago shouldn’t eliminate creativity — but must distinguish between aggressive mistakes and careless live-ball turnovers that immediately fuel the opponent’s transition offense.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🔥 &lt;strong&gt;Topics include:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tyler Kolek to Chicago?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Pacôme Dadiet as an upside gamble&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why New York could want roster flexibility&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Jordan Brink’s connection to both prospects&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What acquiring Kolek would mean for Rob Dillingham&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Whether Chicago should demand compensation for Dadiet&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Jalen Smith vs Zach Collins&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why Smith and Collins offer completely different styles&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Smith’s pick-and-pop fit with Josh Giddey&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Collins as a physical passing hub&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tobe Awaka applying pressure behind them&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tiago Splitter’s turnover problem in Portland&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Josh Giddey’s high-risk/high-reward passing&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why pace can hurt Chicago if possessions end in turnovers&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How the Bulls can play fast without playing reckless&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;🎧 Tap in with &lt;strong&gt;Haize&lt;/strong&gt; on &lt;strong&gt;Chicago Bulls Central&lt;/strong&gt; for the full breakdown!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/BullsCentralPod&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Get at us:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Email: BullsCentralPod@gmail.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Twitter:&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/BullsCentralPod&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;@BullsCentralPod&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Phone: ‪(773) 270-2799‬&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Advertising Inquiries: &lt;a href=&#39;https://redcircle.com/brands&#39;&gt;https://redcircle.com/brands&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Privacy &amp; Opt-Out: &lt;a href=&#39;https://redcircle.com/privacy&#39;&gt;https://redcircle.com/privacy&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  <title>Bulls Fans Are WAY Too Low On Dailyn Swain?! History Says DON’T Panic Yet</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are Chicago Bulls fans giving up on Dailyn Swain way too early after one brutal Summer League?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/CEOHaize&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;On today’s &lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chicago Bulls Central&lt;/strong&gt;, Haize takes a deeper look at Swain’s actual college profile and the historical NBA wings who entered the league with similar combinations of &lt;strong&gt;size, rebounding, secondary creation, defense and uncertain three-point shooting&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Swain’s final Texas season was anything but unproductive. At 6-foot-7 and roughly 211 pounds, he averaged &lt;strong&gt;17.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.6 steals&lt;/strong&gt; while shooting &lt;strong&gt;54.2% from the field, 34.4% from three and 81.5% from the free-throw line&lt;/strong&gt;. He also shot 60.3% on twos and posted a .636 true-shooting percentage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yes, his Summer League was ugly: &lt;strong&gt;4.2 points per game on 12.9% shooting and 0% from three across four games&lt;/strong&gt;. But four bad July games shouldn’t erase nearly 100 college games of development.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Haize compares Swain’s profile with players such as &lt;strong&gt;Jaime Jaquez Jr., Josh Hart, Jae Crowder, Kyle Kuzma, Otto Porter Jr., Jimmy Butler, Gordon Hayward, Jarrett Culver and former Bull Chandler Hutchison&lt;/strong&gt; to show why the range of outcomes remains enormous.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The point isn’t that Swain will become Jimmy Butler.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The point is that large, versatile wings often take time — and Swain’s &lt;strong&gt;81.5% free-throw shooting, efficiency inside the arc, passing and defensive production&lt;/strong&gt; give Chicago a much healthier developmental foundation than his Summer League performance suggests.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then Haize shifts to &lt;strong&gt;Josh Giddey’s comments about Norman Powell&lt;/strong&gt;, after Giddey said Powell’s gravity will take attention away from him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Could Powell become more valuable to Chicago because of what he creates for everybody else?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With Powell flying around screens and forcing defenders to chase, &lt;strong&gt;Giddey could attack vacated space, Matas Buzelis and Caleb Wilson could become dangerous cutters, Nic Claxton could thrive in dribble-handoff actions and Dailyn Swain could eventually benefit as a second-unit cutter&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finally, Haize explores the most overlooked part of Nic Claxton’s game: &lt;strong&gt;his passing&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Claxton averaged a career-high &lt;strong&gt;3.7 assists against just 1.4 turnovers&lt;/strong&gt;, opening the possibility that Tiago Splitter could use him as an elbow facilitator, short-roll playmaker and dribble-handoff hub — borrowing concepts from the role &lt;strong&gt;Joakim Noah&lt;/strong&gt; once played in Chicago without expecting Claxton to become Noah himself.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🔥 &lt;strong&gt;Topics include:&lt;/strong&gt; Dailyn Swain NBA comparisons, Jaime Jaquez Jr. vs. Jarrett Culver as Swain’s developmental fork, why Chandler Hutchison is a warning, what Jimmy Butler and Jae Crowder teach us about wing development, Norman Powell’s shooting gravity, Josh Giddey’s offensive evolution, Matas and Caleb as cutters, Nic Claxton’s passing leap, Claxton as a short-roll creator, and whether Chicago can manufacture offense through movement instead of superstar isolation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🎧 Tap in with &lt;strong&gt;Haize&lt;/strong&gt; on &lt;strong&gt;Chicago Bulls Central&lt;/strong&gt; for the full breakdown!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/BullsCentralPod&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Get at us:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Email: BullsCentralPod@gmail.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Twitter:&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/BullsCentralPod&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;@BullsCentralPod&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Phone: ‪(773) 270-2799‬&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Advertising Inquiries: &lt;a href=&#39;https://redcircle.com/brands&#39;&gt;https://redcircle.com/brands&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Privacy &amp; Opt-Out: &lt;a href=&#39;https://redcircle.com/privacy&#39;&gt;https://redcircle.com/privacy&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  <title>Should The Bulls Unleash Their GIANT Lineup?! Bryson Graham’s Vision Could Get SCARY</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Should Tiago Splitter unleash the Chicago Bulls’ giant “SLAP” lineup this season?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/CEOHaize&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;On today’s &lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chicago Bulls Central&lt;/strong&gt;, Haize breaks down one of the most intriguing lineup experiments available to the Bulls: &lt;strong&gt;Josh Giddey, Dailyn Swain, Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson and Nic Claxton&lt;/strong&gt; sharing the floor together.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Every player in that group is roughly 6-foot-7 or taller, creating an average height around 6-foot-9 and embodying the exact traits Bryson Graham has emphasized throughout Chicago’s reset: &lt;strong&gt;size, length, athleticism, physicality and versatility.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/CEOHaize&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;This shouldn’t necessarily become the Bulls’ regular starting lineup. But in five-to-eight-minute stretches? It could become a tactical nightmare.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/CEOHaize&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Giddey can rebound and immediately ignite transition. Swain could defend the point of attack and act as a secondary creator. Matas becomes the primary scorer and weak-side shot blocker. Caleb Wilson can cut, attack mismatches and finish in transition. Claxton anchors the defense while providing rim pressure, screens and underrated passing.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/CEOHaize&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The real swing factor is &lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dailyn Swain&lt;/strong&gt;. If he can defend NBA shooting guards and become a credible catch-and-shoot threat, Chicago could potentially switch across four positions while keeping Claxton behind everything.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But there’s an obvious problem:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Spacing.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/CEOHaize&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Giddey, Swain, Matas and Caleb all still have something to prove as NBA perimeter shooters, while Claxton provides no traditional floor spacing. Haize explains why constant movement, inverted actions, dribble handoffs and early transition offense would be necessary to keep the giant lineup from clogging the paint.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/CEOHaize&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Then the show shifts to a completely different part of the rebuild that could be just as important:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/CEOHaize&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;🔥 &lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Windy City Bulls.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/CEOHaize&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Chicago recently hired former Bull &lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Quincy Pondexter&lt;/strong&gt; as Windy City’s new head coach, and with players like &lt;strong&gt;Noa Essengue, Tobe Awaka, Jaylin Sellers&lt;/strong&gt; and potentially Dailyn Swain needing developmental reps, the Bulls cannot afford to treat the G League like a separate organization.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If Chicago truly plans to build through the draft, Windy City must become an extension of Tiago Splitter’s rotation and developmental system.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Haize also gets into your Bulls voicemails, including the realistic standard for an undrafted rookie making an impact, why moving &lt;strong&gt;Norman Powell&lt;/strong&gt; to the bench doesn’t make much sense, and whether Bulls ownership deserves blame for the previous regime’s roster decisions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🔥 &lt;strong&gt;Topics include:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bulls’ giant “SLAP” lineup&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Josh Giddey + Dailyn Swain backcourt&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Matas Buzelis as the primary scorer&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Caleb Wilson attacking mismatches&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Nic Claxton’s passing and rim gravity&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Can Chicago switch four positions?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why Swain is the lineup’s swing player&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The massive spacing concern&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Three versions of Chicago’s giant lineup&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why Jalen Smith could unlock the spacing version&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Quincy Pondexter taking over Windy City&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Noa Essengue’s G League development&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Jaylin Sellers’ shooting development&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tobe Awaka’s rebounding against pro size&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why the Bulls’ G League operation matters more than wins&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Norman Powell bench debate&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bulls ownership vs previous front-office decisions&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Undrafted rookies making immediate NBA impact&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;🎧 Tap in with &lt;strong&gt;Haize&lt;/strong&gt; on &lt;strong&gt;Chicago Bulls Central&lt;/strong&gt; for the full breakdown!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/BullsCentralPod&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Get at us:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Email: BullsCentralPod@gmail.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Twitter:&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/BullsCentralPod&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;@BullsCentralPod&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Phone: ‪(773) 270-2799‬&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Advertising Inquiries: &lt;a href=&#39;https://redcircle.com/brands&#39;&gt;https://redcircle.com/brands&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Privacy &amp; Opt-Out: &lt;a href=&#39;https://redcircle.com/privacy&#39;&gt;https://redcircle.com/privacy&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  <title>THE CENTRAL DIVISION IS CHICAGO’S PERFECT MEASURING STICK</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Chicago Bulls probably aren’t ready to finish ahead of Detroit or Cleveland — but that doesn’t make those games meaningless. In fact, those matchups may be the best way to measure whether this rebuild is actually moving forward.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/CEOHaize&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;On today’s &lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chicago Bulls Central&lt;/strong&gt;, Haize breaks down why the &lt;strong&gt;Central Division could become Chicago’s perfect developmental measuring stick&lt;/strong&gt; during the 2026-27 season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The current division outlook has Detroit and Cleveland ahead of Chicago, with the Bulls more realistically battling Milwaukee and Indiana in the standings. But Detroit and Cleveland represent something different: two examples of where Chicago hopes to eventually go. Detroit has developed a young core into a legitimate contender, while Cleveland represents the path of building internally before adding established star power.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The real test won’t simply be wins and losses. Can the Bulls avoid immediately falling behind? Can &lt;strong&gt;Josh Giddey, Norman Powell, Matas Buzelis and Caleb Wilson&lt;/strong&gt; execute late in games? Can Chicago’s defense force elite opponents to adjust? And can Matas and Caleb create offense against the type of physical, playoff-level defenses they’ll eventually have to beat?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Haize also lays out a practical measuring scale for Chicago’s eight combined games against Detroit and Cleveland. Going &lt;strong&gt;3-5&lt;/strong&gt; with competitive losses would signal meaningful progress, while getting swept or repeatedly blown out would suggest Chicago remains significantly behind the division’s elite.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then the show turns toward one of the most important long-term roster questions facing Bryson Graham:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Does Chicago’s next major investment need to be at center or shooting guard?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/CEOHaize&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Nic Claxton has roughly two seasons to prove he can become the long-term defensive anchor. At the same time, &lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dailyn Swain and Jaylin Sellers&lt;/strong&gt; must show whether either can develop into the long-term backcourt partner Chicago needs alongside Josh Giddey.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If Claxton improves the defense, develops chemistry with Giddey and remains playable across different matchups, shooting guard likely becomes the next priority. If Swain or Sellers emerges while Claxton disappoints, center jumps to the top of the list. And if both positions develop internally? Chicago gains the freedom to pursue the best player available or make a bigger star trade.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🔥 &lt;strong&gt;Topics include:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why Detroit is the developmental blueprint&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What Cleveland tests about Chicago’s star ceiling&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Giddey vs Cade Cunningham&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Matas and Caleb against playoff-level defense&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Nic Claxton vs Jalen Duren&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Chicago’s eight-game measuring stick against Detroit/Cleveland&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Can the Bulls finish third in the Central?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why the final matchups matter more than the first&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Is Claxton Chicago’s long-term center?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Can Dailyn Swain become the Bulls’ future shooting guard?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Jaylin Sellers’ sixth-man and starting upside&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why Swain’s three-point shot is his biggest swing skill&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Center vs shooting guard as Chicago’s next premium investment&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How every roster decision changes what the Bulls need elsewhere&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Listener reactions on Swain, Tre Jones and Rob Dillingham&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;🎧 Tap in with &lt;strong&gt;Haize&lt;/strong&gt; on &lt;strong&gt;Chicago Bulls Central&lt;/strong&gt; for the full breakdown.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/BullsCentralPod&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Get at us:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Email: BullsCentralPod@gmail.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Twitter:&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/BullsCentralPod&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;@BullsCentralPod&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Phone: ‪(773) 270-2799‬&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Advertising Inquiries: &lt;a href=&#39;https://redcircle.com/brands&#39;&gt;https://redcircle.com/brands&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Privacy &amp; Opt-Out: &lt;a href=&#39;https://redcircle.com/privacy&#39;&gt;https://redcircle.com/privacy&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  <title>Does Matas Buzelis have MORE to prove than anyone else on the Bulls? | CHGO Bulls Podcast</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;The CHGO Bulls crew are joined by Salim Suterwalla and Edward Shuler Jr. of the Bulls Gold Podcast to break down several Bulls related topics. The NBA has released two more nationally televised games for the Bulls. Who will the Bulls face in these two games? Could they see more games added to the national broadcast schedule as the season goes? Plus, the Bulls have several players that have a lot to prove this season. Which starter and bench player do the guys think have the most to prove and why? Does Tiago Splitter have to prove anything this season or does he get a pass? Also, we find out what the Bulls Gold crew are looking forward to the most this season. Is it the growth of Caleb Wilson? Josh Giddey potentially becoming an All Star?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;p&gt;Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

  <title>Dalton Knecht To The Bulls?! Chicago Gets More National TV Love As Trade Rumors Heat Up 👀🐂</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;The Chicago Bulls rumor mill is heating up again, and Dalton Knecht is the latest name connected to Chicago. 👀🐂&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On today’s episode of Locked On Bulls, Haize and Pat The Designer break down the rumors surrounding Dalton Knecht to the Bulls and whether he makes sense as a target for Bryson Graham before the 2026-27 NBA season. Chicago still has questions about shooting, bench scoring, floor spacing, and offensive punch — and Knecht’s shot-making ability could make him an interesting fit next to Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson, Nic Claxton, Norman Powell, and the rest of the Bulls’ young core.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But should the Bulls actually make another move?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Haize and Pat debate whether Chicago should pursue Knecht or simply stand pat at this point in the offseason. The Bulls have already reshaped the roster, added young talent, improved defensively, and brought in veteran scoring. Is another trade necessary, or does Bryson Graham need to see this group under Tiago Splitter before making another roster decision?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The guys also react to the Bulls getting two nationally televised games added to the schedule. Is this just a small adjustment, or a sign that the NBA is starting to recognize more intrigue around Chicago’s rebuild? With Giddey, Buzelis, Wilson, Powell, Claxton, and Splitter all bringing new storylines, the Bulls may be more interesting nationally than people expected.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Topics Include:&lt;br&gt;Dalton Knecht to Bulls rumors&lt;br&gt;Would Knecht fix Chicago’s shooting problem?&lt;br&gt;Bulls’ need for bench scoring and spacing&lt;br&gt;Should Bryson Graham make one more move?&lt;br&gt;Is standing pat the smarter option before training camp?&lt;br&gt;How Knecht would fit with Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis&lt;br&gt;Bulls get two nationally televised games added&lt;br&gt;Is the NBA starting to notice Chicago?&lt;br&gt;Tiago Splitter’s new-look roster&lt;br&gt;Bulls 2026-27 offseason outlook&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Bulls still have clear flaws, but they also have more intrigue than they have had in years. Dalton Knecht could give Chicago another offensive weapon, but the bigger question is whether the Bulls should force a move now or trust the roster they have built.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🎙️ Tune in to Locked On Bulls as Haize and Pat break down the Dalton Knecht rumors, whether the Bulls should stand pat, and what the added national TV games say about Chicago’s growing buzz.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!&lt;br&gt;Indeed&lt;br&gt;Listeners of this show get a $75 Sponsored Job Credit to help give your job the premium placement it deserves at http://Indeed.com/podcast.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Square&lt;br&gt;Get up to $200 off Square hardware when you sign up at https://square.com/go/NBA ! #squarepod&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;FanDuel&lt;br&gt;College football Saturdays are already packed with reasons to get excited, and this season, FanDuel is giving fans even more ways to get in on every matchup.

  <title>Adam Amin REVEALS Why Caleb Wilson &amp; Matas Buzelis Could CLICK for the Bulls!</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;Adam Amin gives his insight on why Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis could become a dynamic frontcourt duo for the Chicago Bulls. Amin, a veteran play-by-play broadcaster who calls Bulls games, breaks down how Wilson’s athleticism, rebounding and defensive versatility could complement Buzelis’ scoring and perimeter skill. The Bulls selected Wilson No. 4 overall in the 2026 NBA Draft after his impressive freshman season at North Carolina, adding another exciting young piece alongside Buzelis. Could Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis become the foundation of the next era of Chicago Bulls basketball?

  <title>Could Matas Buzelis Become The Bulls’ Next $200 MILLION Player? | What Is Bulls Bench Identity?</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Could Matas Buzelis eventually command a $200 million contract from the Chicago Bulls?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/CEOHaize&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;On today’s &lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chicago Bulls Central&lt;/strong&gt;, Haize breaks down why Amen Thompson’s new five-year, $208 million extension could be a preview of the financial decision Chicago may eventually face with Matas Buzelis. Thompson’s deal doesn’t make him a perfect comparison, but it does show what young wings with franchise-cornerstone upside are beginning to cost.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Matas averaged &lt;strong&gt;16.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 blocks&lt;/strong&gt; last season while shooting 46.3% from the field and 34.9% from three. Chicago controls his fourth-year option for 2027-28, and he becomes eligible for a rookie-scale extension next summer. The 2026-27 season could determine whether those negotiations begin at “promising starter” money or genuine franchise-player money.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But before getting to Matas, Haize examines something that could make this Bulls team stylistically fascinating: &lt;strong&gt;the bench may have a completely different identity from the starters&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chicago’s starting group of &lt;strong&gt;Josh Giddey, Norman Powell, Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson and Nic Claxton&lt;/strong&gt; can create through size, passing and matchup advantages. The second unit may need to manufacture offense through &lt;strong&gt;speed, pressure, deflections, multiple ball handlers and organized chaos&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A possible bench core of &lt;strong&gt;Tre Jones, Rob Dillingham, Dailyn Swain, Leonard Miller or Patrick Williams, and Jalen Smith&lt;/strong&gt; could change the tempo immediately. Jones provides control, Dillingham brings instant scoring aggression, Swain connects possessions with defense and secondary creation, and Smith gives the guards the spacing they need to attack.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Haize also explains why &lt;strong&gt;Norman Powell staggered with the reserves&lt;/strong&gt; could unlock the entire concept, and why a group featuring Dillingham, Powell, Swain, Matas and Jalen Smith could become legitimately dangerous if the young players shoot and defend well enough.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finally, the Bulls have another contract decision coming. &lt;strong&gt;Isaac Okoro becomes extension-eligible September 17&lt;/strong&gt; while entering the final year of his deal at roughly $11.8 million. His defense may be more important than his box-score production because Chicago’s projected starters still lack an obvious point-of-attack stopper. But his 33% three-point shooting creates real spacing concerns next to Giddey and Claxton.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So should Bryson Graham extend Okoro, evaluate him through the first 20–25 games, or use his expiring contract as a trade asset?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🔥 &lt;strong&gt;Topics include:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bulls bench developing its own identity&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;“Organized chaos” under Tiago Splitter&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tre Jones as the bench stabilizer&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Rob Dillingham as the pace changer&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Dailyn Swain as the connector&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Jaylin Sellers as the wild card&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Jalen Smith’s fit with the young guards&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Norman Powell leading the reserves&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Amen Thompson’s $208M extension&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Could Matas become a $200M player?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What Matas must prove before Chicago pays him&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How Caleb Wilson complicates the Matas evaluation&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Isaac Okoro becoming extension-eligible&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Okoro’s defense vs his offensive limitations&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Extend, evaluate or trade Okoro?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;🎧 Tap in with &lt;strong&gt;Haize&lt;/strong&gt; on &lt;strong&gt;Chicago Bulls Central&lt;/strong&gt; for the full breakdown.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/BullsCentralPod&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Get at us:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Email: BullsCentralPod@gmail.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Twitter:&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/BullsCentralPod&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;@BullsCentralPod&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Phone: ‪(773) 270-2799‬&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Advertising Inquiries: &lt;a href=&#39;https://redcircle.com/brands&#39;&gt;https://redcircle.com/brands&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Privacy &amp; Opt-Out: &lt;a href=&#39;https://redcircle.com/privacy&#39;&gt;https://redcircle.com/privacy&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  <title>Did The Bulls Build The NBA’s Most DANGEROUS Transition Team?</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Could the Chicago Bulls become one of the NBA’s most dangerous transition teams in 2026-27?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/CEOHaize&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;On today’s &lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chicago Bulls Central&lt;/strong&gt;, Haize breaks down why this roster may finally be built to turn Chicago’s pace into genuinely efficient fast-break offense.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Bulls already played extremely fast last season, finishing second in pace, but their fast-break production didn’t fully match that tempo. This new group may be much better equipped to convert speed into points. &lt;strong&gt;Josh Giddey&lt;/strong&gt; can rebound and immediately push the ball, &lt;strong&gt;Matas Buzelis&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Caleb Wilson&lt;/strong&gt; can attack opposite lanes, &lt;strong&gt;Nic Claxton&lt;/strong&gt; gives Chicago a vertical rim-running threat, and &lt;strong&gt;Norman Powell&lt;/strong&gt; provides the shooting gravity that prevents defenses from simply collapsing into the paint.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But Haize explains why the real key may actually be &lt;strong&gt;defense&lt;/strong&gt;. Chicago needs Claxton, Matas, Caleb, Isaac Okoro and Dailyn Swain creating deflections, contested shots, defensive rebounds and live-ball turnovers. If Tiago Splitter can combine the aggressive defense associated with his recent coaching experience with the fast-paced offense he has used before, the Bulls could become one of the league’s most uncomfortable teams to face.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then the show turns to Chicago’s recent &lt;strong&gt;player-run minicamp in Miami&lt;/strong&gt; and a bigger question:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who is actually leading this team?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/CEOHaize&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Haize lays out a layered leadership structure where &lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Norman Powell&lt;/strong&gt; establishes the professional standard, &lt;strong&gt;Josh Giddey&lt;/strong&gt; becomes the offensive leader, &lt;strong&gt;Nic Claxton&lt;/strong&gt; serves as the defensive captain, &lt;strong&gt;Matas Buzelis&lt;/strong&gt; grows into the emotional leader of the young core and &lt;strong&gt;Caleb Wilson&lt;/strong&gt; develops naturally into a future franchise voice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finally, Haize asks which Bulls reserve could force his way into Tiago Splitter’s closing lineup.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jalen Smith&lt;/strong&gt; may be the favorite because his shooting can create the spacing Chicago’s starting five sometimes lacks. &lt;strong&gt;Isaac Okoro&lt;/strong&gt; could become the defensive matchup closer. &lt;strong&gt;Tre Jones&lt;/strong&gt; offers late-game ball security. &lt;strong&gt;Rob Dillingham&lt;/strong&gt; is the scoring wild card. And &lt;strong&gt;Dailyn Swain&lt;/strong&gt; could eventually become the long-term two-way answer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🔥 &lt;strong&gt;Topics include:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Can Chicago become a top-five transition offense?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Josh Giddey pushing off defensive rebounds&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Matas Buzelis and Caleb Wilson as lane runners&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Nic Claxton’s vertical gravity&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Norman Powell’s transition shooting&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why defense must fuel Chicago’s pace&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tiago Splitter’s potential Bulls identity&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Who is the Bulls’ real locker-room leader?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Norman Powell vs Josh Giddey vs Matas Buzelis leadership roles&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Nic Claxton as defensive captain&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why Caleb Wilson shouldn’t be forced into leadership too soon&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Jalen Smith potentially closing over Claxton&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Isaac Okoro as Chicago’s defensive closer&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tre Jones’ late-game value&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Rob Dillingham as the wild card&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;🎧 Tap in with &lt;strong&gt;Haize&lt;/strong&gt; on &lt;strong&gt;Chicago Bulls Central&lt;/strong&gt; for the full breakdown!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/BullsCentralPod&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Get at us:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Email: BullsCentralPod@gmail.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Twitter:&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/BullsCentralPod&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;@BullsCentralPod&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Phone: ‪(773) 270-2799‬&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Advertising Inquiries: &lt;a href=&#39;https://redcircle.com/brands&#39;&gt;https://redcircle.com/brands&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Privacy &amp; Opt-Out: &lt;a href=&#39;https://redcircle.com/privacy&#39;&gt;https://redcircle.com/privacy&lt;/a&gt;</description>
