In 2026, Noa Essengue will play his way into the rotation, and Patrick Williams will be waived. Cash Considerations will be placed in the rafters.

Also, if you get the Conan reference, you’re the realist of the real.

Norman Powell brings shooting and experience to a young Bulls roster, but his NBA journey might be his most valuable asset.

He’s been a starter and a reserve, buried on teams and rejuvenated on others. Now he’s embracing his role as a vet leader and mentor to Chicago’s young core.

I'm cautiously optimistic for this season. Here are my predictions:

-Wilson averages 17/6/3. Awesome season, but the defensive polish shines while the offensive shot making is a little raw

-Buzelis takes a leap. Under new coaching, I think this is the season he really shows out. I think he's a contender for Most Improved

-Powell averages 20+ ppg but is traded at the deadline

-The Bulls make the playoffs via a play in win. Hot take I know, but I think under new coaching and with some real direction we have a shot.

-Swain flashes upside but ultimately is more of a bench contributor while the shot looks iffy

What do you guys predict?

While trying to at least account for the talent they were given and excluding Pete Myers, Bill Berry(no recollection of this) and Splitter

1. Thibs - sweet prince

2. Skiles - led the revitalization, did him dirty firing on Christmas

3. Donovan - got screwed with terrible FO but very meh experience

4. Del Negro - chaotic but also somehow .500. Mediocre with high volatility. Fun memories

5. Cartwright - coach/babysitter

6. Jim BoylAn - don’t have too many thoughts but 07-08 bulls were just discouraging experience. Rose otw

7. Hoiberg - limp… worst personality to bring in after Thibs experience, substitute teacher vibes

8. Jim BoylEn - annoying personality, came off like a pissy camp counselor. Arrogance in his “wisdom” for the youth. Bull headed

9. Tim Floyd - I just get sad when I see his face. Impossible task, but also part of the darkest years for Bulls fans

Does anyone know if this still happening? Saw on twitter it was canceled but WGN said it was happening…

Does Jalen Smith factor into the Bulls long term plans? Do you want the team to retain him or extend him or cash in now for future assets?

The jersey Jordan wore in Game 3 of the 1998 Finals just sold for $12.26 million. That breaks the previous NBA jersey record, which was also Jordan: his Game 1 jersey from the same Finals sold for $10.1 million in 2022. Game 3 was the famous 96-54 Bulls win over Utah

Was looking at Cooper Flaggs stats as a rookie. 21pts, 6 reb, 4 ass, with a block and steal a game. Shot 29% from 3.

This seems extremely achievable. Is it possible Caleb Wilson will turn into a better player than Cooper Flagg?

Will the Bulls win a championship THIS year, or next year?

I’m a man who is willing to admit his wrongs. A few months ago I said I didnt want Wilson because he was ,to me, a project.

BUT WHEN I TELL YOU HE’S PROVEN ME SO GAWDDAMN WRONG. Him and Matas have me feeling very very good about our future. I have something to believe in again as a Bulls fan.

this is the most excited ive been for a bulls season while and it's mostly off the hope these two give me
