Ricky gives his full breakdown of the Bulls selecting Matas Buzelis with the No. 11 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft after he surprisingly fell to that spot. Ricky and Jason then discuss what this pick means for the future of the franchise based on other rumors and Arturas Karnisovas' own words. Will DeMar DeRozan really leave and kick off a rebuild in earnest? The start of free agency is just days away...

For the first time in three years, Arturas Karnisovas has traded a player. But was it a good trade? The snap judgment is no, as trading Alex Caruso for Josh Giddey straight-up with no picks involved is a bad value play. One silver lining? This potentially means the Bulls are actually going to blow this thing up and rebuild.  Interested in advertising on this podcast? Email  sales@bluewirepods.com...

Ricky and Jason discuss the recent rumors suggesting the Bulls are looking to trade up in the draft. Is that something they should even be considering given the quality of this class and where they stand as a franchise?  Interested in advertising on this podcast? Email  sales@bluewirepods.com !

 Arturas Karnisovas promised changes after the Bulls got smoked by the Heat to end their season in the play-in again, but what does that actually mean? Will AK simply try to trade Zach LaVine and push forward with a re-signed DeMar DeRozan and the rest of the core? Or is he willing to take a step back and go in a new direction by focusing on a youth movement? The early results in the playoffs shou...

Jason and Ricky go to town on the Bulls and Arturas Karnisovas after their embarrassing season-ending play-in loss to the Heat without Jimmy Butler.

Jason and Ricky discuss the Bulls' dominant victory over the Hawks in the 9/10 play-in game. Chicago put forth an outstanding team performance against an Atlanta team that looked ready for Cancun for much of the night, led by Coby White's career-high 42 points (yes, we're counting it). While Alex Caruso's status is up in the air after Andre Drummond ran into him, the Bulls have a prime opportunity...
