Can Bulls STEAL Talent From OKC? 👀 Dort, Wallace & Hartenstein

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 13:57:05 GMT

The Chicago Bulls may have a unique opportunity this offseason — and it could come from one of the NBA’s deepest teams. 🐂🔥

With the Oklahoma City Thunder facing future cap and roster decisions, Haize and Pat discuss whether the Bulls could position themselves to pursue players like Lu Dort, Isaiah Hartenstein, or Cason Wallace. Which player would make the biggest impact in Chicago, and are any of them realistic targets for Bryson Graham’s new front office? 👀🏀

The guys also take a look at the free-agent market and discuss whether Sandro Mamukelashvili ("Mamu") could be an under-the-radar target for the Bulls. Would his skill set, versatility, and offensive upside make him a worthwhile addition to Chicago's frontcourt rotation? 📊🔥

Plus, is it simply too early to be talking about free agency? With the draft still approaching and the coaching search ongoing, Haize and Pat debate how much of the Bulls’ offseason strategy can realistically be projected right now. 💼

Thunder roster questions. Free agency possibilities. Bulls roster building in focus.

Bulls Draft STEAL Coming At No. 15? Cameron Carr, Karim Lopez & More

The B.R.E.A.K.S Media — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 10:48:37 GMT

The Chicago Bulls own the No. 15 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, and new lead executive Bryson Graham may have a major opportunity to add another high-upside piece to the rebuild. With the draft class showing real depth beyond the lottery, could the Bulls find a steal in the middle of the first round?

Haize breaks down four intriguing names who could make sense for Chicago at No. 15: Cameron Carr, Karim Lopez, Morez Johnson Jr., and Jayden Quaintance Jr. Carr has become one of the fastest risers after a huge NBA Combine performance, showing elite athleticism, three-point shooting, defensive tools, and real scoring upside. Lopez brings size, versatility, and international experience that could fit the modern forward mold. Johnson offers physicality, rebounding, switchability, and frontcourt power. Quaintance may be the biggest wild card of the group, but his defensive upside could be among the best in the entire class.

The conversation also dives into whether the Bulls should be aggressive if Carr is their guy, how these prospects fit next to Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis, and a potential No. 4 pick, and why pick No. 15 could become a major swing point in the Bulls’ rebuild.

Plus, Haize discusses Ebuka Okorie as a potential mid-first-round guard option, his scoring upside, quickness, shot creation, and why the Bulls could take a long look if they want another high-ceiling backcourt piece.

📌 Topics include:

Chicago Bulls 2026 NBA Draft rumors
Best Bulls options at pick No. 15
Cameron Carr NBA Draft stock
Karim Lopez scouting report
Morez Johnson Jr. fit with Bulls
Jayden Quaintance Jr. upside and injury concerns
Ebuka Okorie as a Bulls draft target
Bryson Graham’s first major draft opportunity

Then the conversation turns to one of the biggest names in basketball. Chet Holmgren trade rumors continue to circulate, and the guys discuss whether the Bulls should even entertain the possibility of making a move for the Oklahoma City Thunder star. What would a trade package look like, and would Chet be worth the massive investment required? 😳📊

Plus, draft prospect Caleb Wilson has made it known he'd welcome the opportunity to be selected by Chicago. Haize and Pat discuss Wilson’s fit with the Bulls, his long-term upside, and whether he should be a serious target as the draft board begins to take shape. 🎯🔥

Chicago Bulls Should Absolutely NOT Trade For Chet Holmgren | Why The Bulls Should Be Very Careful

The B.R.E.A.K.S Media — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 11:44:55 GMT

Could the Chicago Bulls make a blockbuster move for Chet Holmgren if the Oklahoma City Thunder ever made him available? Haize breaks down the full Facts or Cap debate on whether trading for Chet makes sense for the Bulls’ rebuild, how he would fit next to Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis, and Coby White, and why his elite rim protection, shooting, and age timeline could completely change Chicago’s future.

But there’s a major catch: the cost.

Would the Bulls be willing to include Matas Buzelis? Would multiple first-round picks be too much? And with Chet’s future max contract looming, would Chicago be putting itself in a dangerous salary-cap situation before the roster is ready to contend?

Haize also reacts to Kevin Young entering the Bulls head coaching search, why the BYU head coach’s NBA background makes him a very serious candidate, and what his player development resume could mean for a Bulls team expected to add multiple young pieces this offseason.

Plus, voicemails hit on Lu Dort’s possible fit in Chicago, whether the Bulls should wait until after the draft before targeting win-now veterans, and why players like Brayden Burries or Yaxel Lendeborg falling to No. 15 could be an absolute steal.

🔥 Topics Discussed:

Should the Bulls trade for Chet Holmgren?
Why Chet fits Chicago’s timeline
Why Matas Buzelis should be off limits
Kevin Young joins Bulls coaching search
Sean Sweeney off the board
Lu Dort’s fit with the Bulls
Potential draft steals at No. 15
Bulls rebuild strategy under Bryson Graham

Caleb Wilson Obvious Pick For Bulls At #4 | Bryson Graham Trying To Trade BACK Into Round 1?

The B.R.E.A.K.S Media — Sun, 31 May 2026 12:26:14 GMT

The Chicago Bulls draft rumors are heating up, and Caleb Wilson to the Bulls at the No. 4 pick continues to feel like one of the most logical outcomes on the board. On today’s episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down why Wilson makes so much sense for Chicago, why his upside is worthy of the fourth overall pick, and why this may be the most realistic path for the Bulls as they enter a new era under Bryson Graham.

Haize also reacts to reports that Graham is trying to trade back into the first round. Does that mean the Bulls want to move up from No. 15? Could they be looking to package second-round picks to climb from No. 38? With Chicago holding multiple draft assets, the Bulls may have more flexibility than fans realize — but finding a trade partner is always easier said than done.

The episode also dives into why watching this year’s NBA Playoffs has made Bulls fans even hungrier for meaningful playoff basketball again. Chicago has made postseason appearances in recent years, but Bulls fans are ready for a team that can truly battle, compete, and enter a series with a real chance to win.

Plus, Haize answers voicemails on the No. 1 pick trade rumors, the Bulls’ head coaching search after Sean Sweeney landed with the Orlando Magic, Mark Williams’ injury concerns, whether Chicago should move back into the lottery, and the debate between Collin Sexton and Anfernee Simons.

🔥 Topics include:

Caleb Wilson to the Bulls at No. 4
Bryson Graham trying to trade back into the first round
Whether the Bulls should trade No. 4 and No. 15 to move up
The Bulls’ top head coaching candidates after Sean Sweeney

Should Bulls Trade UP to Get the #1 Pick in the NBA Draft?

Big Dave, Matt Peck, Tim Sinclair — Sat, 30 May 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Bulls Lose Sean Sweeney… Is Kevin Young The Next Big Swing?

The B.R.E.A.K.S Media — Sat, 30 May 2026 11:53:26 GMT

The Chicago Bulls’ head coaching search just took a major turn. Sean Sweeney, one of the most talked-about candidates connected to the Bulls, is reportedly headed to the Orlando Magic — leaving Chicago fans wondering whether the Bulls waited too long and who now becomes the favorite for the job.

Haize breaks down what losing Sweeney means for Bryson Graham’s first major decision as the Bulls’ lead executive, why Minnesota Timberwolves assistant Micah Nori could become the new frontrunner, and why names like Chris Quinn, Dave Bliss, Tiago Splitter, Johnnie Bryant, and Kevin Young still matter in this process.

The Bulls have also reportedly shown interest in BYU head coach Kevin Young, a coach with NBA experience from his time with the Phoenix Suns and Philadelphia 76ers, plus strong success at the college level. Could Young be the surprise candidate Chicago fans need to watch?

Later, Haize dives into his favorite Chicago Bulls draft combinations at picks No. 4 and No. 15, including Caleb Wilson, Cam Boozer, Cameron Carr, Jayden Quaintance, and Brayden Burries. Plus, listener voicemails touch on the Bulls’ changing roster needs, Ayo Dosunmu possibilities, Bulls fan PTSD, Isaiah Hartenstein trade talk, and how Chicago should use this offseason to finally shift direction.

NBA Lottery Changes Just SAVED the Bulls?!

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 29 May 2026 14:26:53 GMT

The Chicago Bulls are entering a new era — but could recent NBA Draft Lottery changes actually work in their favor? 🐂🔥

Haize and Pat break down how the NBA Draft Lottery changes impact rebuilding teams and whether the current system gives the Bulls more flexibility in their approach. Does Chicago need to completely bottom out, or can the franchise build differently under Bryson Graham’s new front office vision? 👀📊

The guys also discuss whether the Bulls are now more likely to bring back veteran players instead of tearing everything down immediately. Could keeping experienced pieces help develop the young core, or would it risk repeating mistakes from previous eras? 🏀

Plus, it’s time to challenge some of the biggest conversations around the NBA Draft. Haize and Pat reveal their least favorite draft narratives and discuss which ideas around prospects, team building, and rebuilding might be getting overblown. 🔥

NBA Lottery Changes May Have Just SAVED The Bulls Rebuild | Why Pick #15 Is A bigger Story Than Pick #4

The B.R.E.A.K.S Media — Fri, 29 May 2026 11:09:01 GMT

The Chicago Bulls may have just been impacted in a major way by the NBA’s new lottery changes — but not in the way many fans think. On today’s episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down how the new draft lottery format could reshape tanking, rebuilds, and the way teams approach player development going forward.

The new system lowers the reward for being one of the worst teams in the league, gives stronger odds to middle-tier non-playoff teams, and even gives certain play-in teams a chance to land near the top of the draft. For a Bulls team that has spent years stuck in the middle, these changes may actually work in Chicago’s favor.

Haize also dives into the latest speculation around the Bulls’ head coaching search. Are fans right to wonder if Sean Sweeney is the reason Chicago has not made a hire yet? Or are multiple teams, including the Orlando Magic, waiting on the same candidate? Plus, Haize gives his current top coaching candidates, including Chris Quinn, Sean Sweeney, Dave Bliss, Tiago Splitter, and Johnnie Bryant.

Finally, the show breaks down why the real draft intrigue may not be pick No. 4 — but the chaos between picks 6 and 20. With mock drafts all over the place on prospects like Aday Mara, Darius Acuff, Jayden Quaintance, and Morez Johnson, the Bulls could be in prime position at No. 15 to land a falling talent.

🔥 Topics covered:

How the NBA’s new lottery changes impact the Chicago Bulls
Why tanking may be less valuable moving forward
How the Bulls could benefit from staying competitive
Sean Sweeney speculation in the Bulls coaching search
Why Orlando could also be waiting on Sweeney
Bulls coaching candidates ranked
Why the No. 15 pick could bring real draft value
How draft volatility from picks 6-20 helps Chicago

Should Chicago Bulls Trade #4 to OKC for a HAUL of Future Picks? | CHGO Bulls Podcast

Matt Peck, Big Dave Watson — Thu, 28 May 2026 22:14:34 GMT

OKC Wants Cam Boozer?! Bulls Could CASH IN at #4

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 28 May 2026 14:11:40 GMT

Locked On Bulls

Hosted by Haize & Pat The Designer

The Chicago Bulls may be sitting on one of the most valuable assets in the NBA Draft — and the Oklahoma City Thunder could be preparing to make a major move for it. 🐂🔥

Rumors are building around the possibility of OKC making a huge offer for the Bulls’ #4 overall pick in an effort to land Cam Boozer. Haize and Pat break down what a trade package could realistically look like, why the Thunder are one of the few teams capable of making a blockbuster move, and whether Chicago should even consider trading back. 👀📊

The guys also discuss the latest players who have withdrawn from the NBA Draft and how those decisions could reshape the Bulls’ board heading into draft season. Which prospects are rising because of it, and how much does it impact Chicago’s strategy at both #4 and #15? 🏀🔥

Plus, should the Bulls consider trading out of the second round entirely? Haize and Pat debate whether Chicago would be better off consolidating assets, moving future picks, or using every opportunity to add young talent.

Draft rumors intensifying. Trade possibilities growing. Bulls facing major decisions.

Bulls Could STEAL From OKC’s Cap Problem | Cason Wallace, Draft Trade Rumors & Top 4 Pick Debate

The B.R.E.A.K.S Media — Thu, 28 May 2026 10:46:29 GMT

The Chicago Bulls may have a massive opportunity developing with the Oklahoma City Thunder’s future salary crunch. With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren, Jalen Williams, Lu Dort, Alex Caruso, Isaiah Hartenstein, Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins, and others all factoring into OKC’s long-term financial picture, could the Bulls benefit from the Thunder eventually having too many good players to pay?

Haize breaks down why Cason Wallace should be on Chicago’s radar, how his defensive toughness and young timeline could fit next to Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis, and whether the Bulls should explore trade paths before Wallace’s next contract becomes a major issue for OKC.

The conversation also dives into whether Chicago should help the Thunder clear salary by taking on players like Isaiah Hartenstein, Lu Dort, Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins, or even Alex Caruso — but only if draft compensation is attached.

Plus, could the Thunder make a huge offer to move into the Bulls’ Top 4 draft slot? And should Bryson Graham even entertain the idea of trading down in a draft where Chicago finally has a chance to add true franchise-changing talent?

The Bulls have flexibility, draft capital, and a new front office direction. Now the question is simple: can they capitalize?

Chicago Bulls MOCK DRAFT 1.0 : Best Case Scenarios at Pick #15 | CHGO Bulls Podcast

Matt Peck, Will Gottlieb — Wed, 27 May 2026 22:16:41 GMT

Should the Chicago Bulls hire Sean Sweeney to be their next head coach?

Wed, 27 May 2026 19:00:00 GMT

Could Sean Sweeney be the right fit for the Chicago Bulls?

Chicago Bulls Final Coaching Candidates REVEALED | Bulls Tried Trading for the #1 Pick?!

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 27 May 2026 14:07:10 GMT

The Chicago Bulls offseason is officially heating up as the franchise reportedly narrows its head coaching search down to five finalists. 🐂🔥

Haize and Pat break down the reported final coaching candidates:

🏀 Micah Nori

🏀 Tiago Splitter

🏀 Dave Bliss

🏀 Sean Sweeney

🏀 Chris Quinn

The guys discuss what each candidate could bring to Chicago, which coach best fits Bryson Graham’s vision, and why this decision could define the Bulls’ rebuild moving forward. 👀📊

But the coaching search isn’t the only thing getting aggressive. Reports indicate the Bulls have already contacted the Washington Wizards about potentially moving up to the #1 overall pick in the NBA Draft. Haize and Pat discuss what a move that bold would cost, whether Chicago could realistically pull it off, and what it says about the organization’s urgency. 😳🔥

Plus, is moving up from the #15 overall pick actually the more realistic scenario? The guys debate whether the Bulls are more likely to make a smaller draft jump instead of swinging for the top of the board.

Coaching finalists. Draft trade rumors. Big offseason decisions incoming.

Bulls Trade Rumors EXPLODE After Cavs Collapse + Johnnie Bryant Interview Official

The B.R.E.A.K.S Media — Wed, 27 May 2026 11:09:07 GMT

The Chicago Bulls offseason is getting more interesting by the day, and Haize breaks down another loaded edition of Chicago Bulls Central 🔥

The Bulls have received permission to interview Johnnie Bryant, the Cleveland Cavaliers associate head coach and former New York Knicks assistant, as their head coaching search continues. Could Bryant be the right developmental voice for a young Bulls core built around Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis, and the No. 4 pick?

Haize also dives into why the Cavaliers’ playoff collapse could make Cleveland one of the most important teams to monitor this offseason. Should the Bulls show interest in Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen, or Donovan Mitchell if Cleveland starts reshaping the roster? And what’s the difference between trading assets for a $30 million player versus signing one outright in free agency?

Plus, the episode gets into a wild draft trade idea: could the Bulls move from No. 4 to No. 3 for Cameron Boozer by helping Memphis offload Ja Morant’s contract? Haize breaks down why Boozer may be worth the conversation, how cap space can become a weapon, and why Bryson Graham has to balance patience with opportunity.

The Bulls are rebuilding, but this offseason already feels different. The question is simple: how aggressive should Chicago be?

Chicago Bulls Want to TRADE UP for #1 Overall Pick in 2026 Draft? | CHGO Bulls Podcast

Big Dave Watson, Matt Peck, Tim Sinclair — Tue, 26 May 2026 22:07:14 GMT

Bulls Called About The #1 Pick?! | Bryson Narrows Coaching List To Final 5 | Best Players At #38

The B.R.E.A.K.S Media — Tue, 26 May 2026 11:36:28 GMT

The Chicago Bulls draft rumors are heating up fast, and Bryson Graham may already be showing how aggressive he is willing to be in his first offseason leading the front office.

According to reports, the Bulls are one of the teams that have reached out to the Washington Wizards about the possibility of trading up for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. Is this real momentum, or just due diligence from a new front office doing its job?

Haize breaks down why this is FACTS OR CAP, what it means that Chicago reportedly has no interest in moving off the No. 4 pick unless it is to move up, and why the Bulls are in position to reshape the rebuild with picks No. 4, No. 15, and No. 38.

The show also dives into several potential second-round targets at No. 38, including Zuby Ejiofor, Milan Momcilovic, Alex Karaban, Tarris Reed Jr., and Joshua Jefferson. Could the Bulls find a defensive identity piece, a floor-spacing forward, or a high-IQ role player deep in this draft?

Plus, the Bulls head coaching search continues, with names like Chris Quinn, Micah Nori, Sean Sweeney, Dave Bliss, and Tiago Splitter confirmed as candidates. With interviews ongoing and the process expected to stretch into June, Haize discusses why this hire matters just as much as the draft itself.

Can Bryson Graham nail the coach, maximize the picks, and finally give Bulls fans a real long-term direction? Tap in. 🐂🔥
