Chicago Bulls

For the Chicago Bulls to have any sort of meaningful cap space this summer, they need at least one of Rajon Rondo and Dwyane Wade to be suiting up elsewhere. And we already know Rondo’s non-guaranteed deal probably isn’t going anywhere, so that leaves Wade. Except he’s not going anywhere either. From the Chicago Tribune‘s K.C. Johnson: [...]

If the Chicago Bulls are going to complete the upset over the Boston Celtics, it looks like they’ll have to do it without Rajon Rondo. The team announced on Friday morning that the point guard is out indefinitely with a fractured thumb, per The Athletic’s Sean Highkin: Surgery isn’t required, but this nevertheless comes as [...]

A playoff picture that once was starting to look pretty bleak for the Chicago Bulls is now looking more and more like a realistic possibility or even likelihood. The Bulls were sitting on the outside looking in on the playoff picture three weeks ago when their veteran leader and second best player, Dwyane Wade was [...]

Fred Hoiberg’s job with the Chicago Bulls is apparently safe—insofar as a head coach’s gig can be safe after his team failed to meet internal expectations for the second consecutive season. While appearing on the Washington Post‘s Posting Up podcast with Tim Bontemps, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune indicated that he thinks Hoiberg’s job will be safe until [...]

Most players in Dwyane Wade’s situation probably wouldn’t think twice about their upcoming player option. He’s 35. He just suffered a season-ending elbow injury. He’s not getting the $23.8 million he’s slated to earn anywhere else. It might take him more than two, or even three, years to recoup that cash. Exercise the option, and [...]

There have been very few general managers who had the level of success in professional sports (even less had Michael Jordan) as Jerry Krause. Krause was the general manager of the Chicago Bulls from 1985 through 2003, including winning six championships during the 1990s with Jordan and Pippen leading the Bulls teams. He passed away [...]

Despite the constant trade rumors that have swirled around him for the past year, it appears Jimmy Butler (or at least he says he is) is 100% committed to the Chicago Bulls organization and wants to be their cornerstone moving forward. Butler said as much when asked directly in an interview with ESPN. “Yes. I [...]

The Chicago Bulls are not in a good place. They are now outside the Eastern Conference’s playoff picture, with a rotation that continues to lack shooting and consistency. Dwyane Wade, who signed with the Bulls for the money and a chance to make some noise in the East, is naturally not happy. Well, actually, we can’t [...]

Oh, Bulls. Rajon Rondo clearly isn’t a part of Chicago’s future. At the same time, it’s not like the Bulls have a bunch of high-end point guards to supplant him. Not one of Denzel Valentine, Jerian Grant, Michael Carter-Williams or Isaiah Canaan qualifies. Cameron Payne, a late-lottery pick in 2015, might, though. And the Bulls [...]

Big men-headlined NBA trades continue to go through, and yet still Jahlil Okafor remains with the Philadelphia 76ers. As has been the case for roughly forever, though, the expectation is for this to change. And while the New Orleans Pelicans (DeMarcus Cousins trade), Denver Nuggets (Mason Plumlee trade) and Portland Trail Blazers (Jusuf Nurkic trade) [...]
