The Chicago Bulls are fading, playoff dreams are slipping away and now we are left with, hoping for lottery magic? It probably shouldn’t be that surprising. After all, the team did return nearly everyone from a team that went 22-43 last season before the pandemic shut down their season. In retrospect, simply replacing a bad coach and overhauling the front office and expecting a legitimate playoff contender with the same roster was a bit far-fetched. It’s easy to opine now that the roster is flawed. Chicago’s lack of a true distributor never really allowed this team to take flight. Lauri Markka ..read more

The Chicago Bulls should be a premier free-agent destination, right? Why wouldn’t they be? After all, it’s Chicago, a huge market, bright lights with a passionate fan base with a rich tradition. It’s a world-class city, a midwestern metropolis rising off the shores of Lake Michigan – the best city in the world in the summer. Charles Barkley even said so. What’s not to love? Well, I suppose being a winning NBA franchise consistently would help. The fact that the team plays most of their games when it’s not the summertime doesn’t help matters. The Chicago Bulls haven’t exactly been winning a maj ..read more

*All stats correct as of 3/26/2021 As per usual with the Chicago Bulls secretive front office, not much was known about exactly what the Executive Vice President – Basketball Operations, Arturas Karnisovas, and General Manager, Marc Eversley had planned for the trade deadline. The Athletic’s, Shams Charania, reported the Chicago Bulls to be “listening to Markkanen suitors”. Long-time rumors were also connecting the Bulls with New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball, as per ESPN’s NBA Insider, Adrian Wojnarowksi, were also doing their rounds. Neither of these came to fruition.  The Bulls&nbs ..read more

Let me state the obvious here – I’m a Chicago Bulls fan. Yes, I’m a Zach LaVine fan. It’s easy for me to admit, I’m biased. So naturally, yes, I believe that he should finally be making his NBA All-Star game debut next month (let’s not even get into the debate about whether the game should even be happening). It’s no secret how hard the Bulls’ guard has worked to arrive at this moment. One of the hardest workers in the league, LaVine improved in each of his NBA seasons. He’s improved his scoring average in each campaign, discounting his first season with the Bulls when he was recovering from a ..read more

*all stats correct prior to games starting 01/29/2021. Is Lonzo Ball an option for the Chicago Bulls? The New Orleans Pelicans are rumored to be listening to trade calls for the former number two overall draft pick, Lonzo Ball, per Shams Charania of The Athletic. The Pelicans, viewed as a key team in NBA trade market, are receiving calls on Lonzo Ball and JJ Redick from interested teams and have shown openness to discussing both, per sources.

The Chicago Bulls signed 10-team journeyman, Garrett Temple, to a one year,$4.7million this off-season. The versatile veteran was the Bulls’ lone free-agent signing of the offseason.  Garrett Temple’s path to the Chicago Bulls Prior to entering the NBA, Temple spent the full 4 years at LSU. Temple then, as expected, went undrafted in the 2009 NBA Draft. On the Coaching U Podcast with Coach Brendan Suhr, Episode 154, Garrett Temple states, “I didn’t expect to get drafted, I was always an under the radar guy.” Despite not hearing his name called by the commissioner on draft night, Temple ..read more

(Editor’s note: Introducing Bulls Global with his first article for BullsHype.com from the United Kingdom. Here’s a little from the author: From across-the-pond I have found a connection with the Chicago Bulls.

Somewhat optimistic is how I would describe my mindset, particularly with the new leaders, which certainly helps keep me attentive for those 1 AM games. – Bulls Global) 287 days without Chicago Bulls basketball That is how long it will have been since the Chicago Bulls played a regular-se ..read more

The Chicago Bulls are movin’ on up once again! Let’s be honest, 2020 has been a difficult year for all of us. For the Bulls, however, it’s been quite refreshing since the league shut down in March. First, John Paxson was reassigned and Gar Forman was let go. Then, Bulls president and COO Michael Reinsdorf actually performed an external search for GarPax’s replacement. Reinsdorf anded former Denver Nuggets assistant general manager Arturas Karnisovas and Marc Eversley from the Philadelphia 76ers. Karnisovas and Eversley have led a revamped front office, something that was desperately needed. If ..read more

Did you hear that? That’s the sound of new Chicago Bulls president of basketball operations, Arturas Karnisovas with the mic drop. Did you feel that? That was the earth tilting on its axis as all of BullsNation stood and rejoiced as not only has John Paxson and Gar Forman been removed from their posts atop the Bulls front office, but Jim Boylen has been relieved of his duties as head coach of the team. It happened. In 2020 of all years. We’ve been waiting for this to happen for so long, it started to feel like a dream. Of course, Boylen’s tenure has been a nightmare. It’s not just that as hea ..read more

The Chicago Bulls have a problem. They’ve actually had the same problem for quite a while. We’re talking decades. They’ve tried to cover for it many times. Michael Jordan couldn’t hide it, neither could Scottie Pippen, Phil Jackson, or even Derrick Rose. No, it wasn’t solved when they replaced GarPax. It didn’t get fixed when they traded Jimmy Butler, Rose, or let Tom Thibodeau go. It’s not even Jim Boylen completely, though he really shouldn’t be around anymore. The biggest issue with the Chicago Bulls predates the golden age of Bulls basketball. Yes, the problem has been around for a long ti ..read more
