Hosted by Haize & Pat The Designer

The Chicago Bulls offseason rumor mill is working overtime. 🐂🔥

A new name has reportedly entered the Bulls’ head coaching search as BYU head coach Kevin Young joins the list of candidates being connected to Chicago. Haize and Pat break down Young’s background, his player development success, and whether a jump from the college ranks could make sense for a franchise trying to establish a new identity. 👀🏀

Then the conversation turns to one of the biggest names in basketball. Chet Holmgren trade rumors continue to circulate, and the guys discuss whether the Bulls should even entertain the possibility of making a move for the Oklahoma City Thunder star. What would a trade package look like, and would Chet be worth the massive investment required? 😳📊

Plus, draft prospect Caleb Wilson has made it known he’d welcome the opportunity to be selected by Chicago. Haize and Pat discuss Wilson’s fit with the Bulls, his long-term upside, and whether he should be a serious target as the draft board begins to take shape. 🎯🔥

Coaching candidates. Superstar trade rumors. Draft intrigue.

  1. "I agree more so with what Pat's saying — this is more about finding out about Dybantsa only, because there was a rumor we were trying to trade up. What I found out is Young was offered a head coaching job and turned it down due to his wife wanting Sundays off. BYU offered them that option because he had the choice of staying in the NBA or going to college, and he chose college. Also, he just signed an extension, has a five-star recruit coming in, and was beloved by the Suns — the team did not want to let him go. He was one of the highest-paid assistant coaches in the NBA at one time. He also has ties to Graham's mentor Monty Williams, so there are some connections there as to why he would be coveted. It's just — would Young realistically want to leave BYU?"

  2. I get what yall saying but Chet was the 2nd overall pick in the draft cuz he was deemed to help change the fortunes of a franchise so he needs ti be held to the standard and not talk about him as if he was a late lotto pick .

  6. Great insight. I have always marveled with the Spurs management. Mitch Johnson is doing a great job and you have stroke stricken Pop encouraging on the side. Mr Johnson came up through the ranks. He wasn’t a high profile guy. How awesome is that! Of course the hand off is from one of the all time greatest coaches. I am sure Pop was grooming him for years. What a franchise!

  7. Michael Jordan won multiple scoring titles and an MVP or two without shooting threes. This recent obsession with shooting threes is absurd, Curry has y’all going crazy with this
