Bulls Bros

The Bulls Bros break down the team's one-for-one trade swapping out their star All-Defensive Team guard to the Oklahoma City Thunder for ex-lottery pick Josh Giddey, with a spicy hot take on the deal for good measure. Recorded 6-23-24.

The Chicago Bulls have made a trade! Unfortunately, they shipped off their best trade asset for... Josh Giddey and zero picks. We unpack the Caruso deal, and a rumored Zach LaVine deal, in this emergency pod.

With the underdog Dallas Mavericks (who will start two former Bulls players) poised to take on the mighty Boston Celtics in the 2024 NBA Finals, the Bulls Bros make their predictions for who will claim the Larry O'Brien Trophy. Recorded 6-3-24.

The Bulls' playoff bid ended in embarrassing fashion, as they fell to a Miami Heat team without two starters (including their best player, Jimmy Butler) during their second play-in contest, missing the playoffs for the second straight season. We then unpack the actual playoffs from a Bulls-centric perspective, taking stock of all ex-Chicago players making waves (or not) on other, better teams. Recorded 5-26-24.

Coby White submitted the best game of his life in the Bulls' first play-in game against the Hawks, scoring a hyper-efficient, career-best 42 points in powering Chicago to a blowout victory. Thanks to some huge injury luck, the Bulls are suddenly poised to beat the Heat in their second play-in match and make the playoffs proper. Max and Alex also preview the entire playoffs for good measure. Recorded 4-18-24.

The Bulls have finished another thoroughly shoulder shrug-worthy year as a play-in seed. This time, they're 39-43 and are at home in a 9-10 matchup against the lowly Atlanta Hawks tonight. Will they win or drop the ball against a Hawks team that's lost six straight? We also supply some Chicago Sky draft notes. Recorded 4-16-24.

The Bulls are 26-30 as of 2/23/24, having fallen to the Boston Celtics in an uncompetitive blowout their first night back from the All-Star Weekend break, in which no Bull participated at all for the first time since 1980. Chicago also is having some major issues at power forward as another disappointing play-in run inches ever closer.

Bulls Brother Nate makes his debut on the pod! He and Alex unpack team president Arturas Karnisovas' troubling recent trend of standing pat at trade deadlines, as he did again this year, and preview some intriguing buyout names for Chicago. They also unpack what the rest of the NBA did while the Bulls twiddled their thumbs. Chicago was 25-27 at the time of this recording, on February 10th, 2024.

Confronted by the hard, cold reality of Chicago's total apathy and mounting injuries to major contributors, Max faces an existential crisis about whether or not he wants to keep paying for NBA League Pass. The Bulls were 23-27 at the time of this recording, and just two days away from the February 8th, 2024 trade deadline.

Somehow Coby White has emerged as Chicago's clear-cut best player. He has propelled the once lottery-bound Bulls to a competent 21-24 record and the East's ninth seed. Can Chicago make trades to improve its present, while also planning for the future?
