This week we discussed Thaddeus Young's role with the Bulls as a leader of the team. We talked about his impact on both sides of the ball, his fit in the Bulls frontcourt, and how he will help lead the Bulls this upcoming season. We also discussed Coby White's off-court transition into the NBA from an article in the Chicago Tribune.

Mark Karantzoulis of BullsHQ joined us to discuss Lauri Markkanen's 2018-19 season, the improvements he can make going forward, and the chances of a breakout in his third season. We also discussed the NBA's Rookie Survey and the chances of Coby White making an All-Rookie team. 

This week we reviewed the midseason acquisition of Otto Porter Jr. We discussed how Porter was able to make an impact with the team and if he still has upside remaining in his development. We also discussed Porter's place in the Bulls core and the lengths the team would go to re-sign him following an impactful season. We wrapped this week's episode with a discussion of the NBA schedule release and the games we're looking forward to this season.

This week we focused on Zach LaVine's 2018-19 season. We started with a discussion about the perception of LaVine and wondered if he's a polarizing player. We talked about his improved offense, the improvements he needs to make defensively, and his overall approach to his improvements in the offseason. We also discussed LaVine's contract and why his salary has become a bargain for the Bulls. We also had reactions to Carmelo Anthony's ESPN interview where he discussed his decision to spurn the Bulls in free agency. 

Bleacher Report's Will Gottlieb joined us to provide his observations from the Bulls Summer League action. We discussed Coby White, Daniel Gafford, Chandler Hutchison, and the Bulls' two-way player Andrew Mokoka. We also talked with Will about his thoughts on the Bulls offseason, the progression of their young core, and the team's outlook for the upcoming season. 

Fred Pfeiffer of Chicago Bullseye joined us to discuss his thoughts on the Bulls offseason and the expectations for the team next season. We discussed if the Bulls have positioned themselves to become a playoff team in the upcoming season. We talked about the team's rotation and which players will be the odd men out. We also reacted to Jim Boylen's comments about Kris Dunn being a starter next season and if the team should keep him in the rotation if he isn't traded. 

Big Dave of Bawl! Sports and Bulls Outsiders joined us to break down the Bulls free agent acquisitions. We discussed how the team's new pieces fit with the current group and the impact they can have on the season. We also tried to figure out what the Bulls will do with Kris Dunn. We then gave our thoughts on Russell Westbrook and if trading for him would be worth it. We also gave our impressions of the Bulls rookies in Summer League so far. We closed the show with reaction to the change in the NBA's landscape following the decisions by Kawhi Leonard and Kevin Durant. 

This week we discussed the Bulls free agency plans. We discussed Malcolm Brogdon and whether the Bulls should be all in to sign him. We also talked about the effects of giving Brogdon a big contract and building a team with him going forward. We then transitioned into a discussion of whether the Bulls are going the right route by preferring to offer short-term contracts, rather than make a big splash. We talked Ricky Rubio, Patrick Beverley, Cory Joseph, and some of the PG options who could be more affordable for the team. We also had a discussion on the Bulls Las Vegas Summer League team and what we're looking forward to seeing the most from the players participating.
