CHGO Chicago Bulls Podcast

The CHGO Bulls crew dive into the new article from Bleacher Report that uses on word to describe every NBA team's 2026 NBA offseason. Find out which word was used and if it first the offseason for the team. Plus, with Bryson Graham’s clear focus on the type of team and players that he wants, which players on the current roster do the guys feel might not fit the vision long term? Do these players have the ability to turn it around and fit the style of play desired by the coach and front office? Also, we take a deep dive into Nic Claxton. Was getting the young center the best acquisition the Bulls made this season? Was there another route the team could have taken? Join the CHGO Bulls crew, Matt Peck, Big Dave, and Will Gottlieb as they discuss!

The CHGO Bulls crew dive into the possible contractual future of Chicago Bulls rising star Matas Buzelis. Entering his third NBA season, Buzelis isn’t eligible to sign an extension of his rookie contract until next summer.

Peck, Big Dave and Will Gottlieb discuss what the figures of a Matas extension could look like, and how that would factor into Graham’s larger plans for the coming years. The guys also review some interesting facts from Bobby Marks’ latest column previewing 2027 free agency. Which names might the Bulls target, and how likely is it for the “free agency is dead” trend to continue? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
