The Chicago Bulls trade deadline shake-up was just the start. Now comes the part that truly defines the franchise.

On this episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down the three critical moves the Bulls cannot afford to get wrong after the deadline:

• Using their massive draft capital wisely 📝
• Attacking restricted free agency with purpose 💰
• Making the right calls on their own free agents 🔄

With eight first-round picks (and possibly more) plus 13 second-round picks through 2032, the Bulls have flexibility most teams dream of. But flexibility only matters if you execute.

Can Arturas Karnisovas hit on at least one major restricted free agent like Walker Kessler, Jalen Duren, Bennedict Mathurin or Austin Reaves?

Will Chicago commit fully to building around Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis and Noa Essengue?

And the biggest question of all…

Is Billy Donovan the right coach to guide a young reset? 🤔

This offseason could finally determine whether the Bulls escape the treadmill of mediocrity — or step right back onto it.
