Latest Sporzzio coverage, playoff reads, and explainers about the Chicago Bulls.

Cooper Flagg's ankle sprain gives Dallas a real short-term trust hit. What it does not do is magically settle every larger argument fans want to drag into it.
Team Pulse
Chicago's offseason case is smaller than fans want: not a grand identity speech, just a colder audit of what this roster actually proved worth carrying forward.
Team Pulse
Orlando's four-game streak is nice. The colder test is whether the Magic still make Chicago play uphill instead of letting the Bulls run into their preferred pace.
Team Pulse
Michael Reinsdorf's support for Billy Donovan settles the easy coach debate. It does not answer the colder Bulls question: who actually owns the next roster-defining decisions?
Explainer
Chicago changed executives, not total authority. If Billy Donovan is pre-approved, the next Bulls boss is inheriting a narrower job than a true reset suggests.
Explainer
Chicago's reset is narrower than "clean slate" suggests because ownership already tied the next front-office hire to Billy Donovan and signaled limits on any true teardown.
Team Pulse
Chicago fired Arturas Karnisovas and Marc Eversley. The useful read now is simpler: ownership's first real basketball call will show reset or rerun.
Team Pulse
Chicago fired Arturas Karnisovas and Marc Eversley. That settles who paid for the current direction, not whether ownership is ready for a real reset instead of a neater rerun.
Team Pulse
Chicago's front-office firings matter because ownership now has to stop hiding behind drift and define the roster timeline, decision chain, and Billy Donovan's place in it.
Team Pulse
Chicago's firings shrink the real Bulls conversation to an inheritance audit: which current pieces deserve future belief, and which ones are just leftover noise.
Team Pulse
Chicago's firings were not a cleansing speech. They were ownership admitting the season still failed to settle the Bulls' direction.
Team Pulse
The clean read on Chicago is not complicated: six straight losses and 130.8 points allowed over 10 games is enough to justify real panic.
Team Pulse
Chicago’s useful question is not how respectable it feels, but what a real opponent still circles first. The Knicks provided the colder lens, and that lens is not flattering.
Team Pulse
Chicago's closing stretch is not a case for feel-good spin. It is a cleaner audit of what, and who, actually deserves future patience.
Team Pulse
Chicago's waiver of Jaden Ivey did not answer every Bulls question. It clarified one colder thing fast: this franchise was willing to draw a standards line immediately.
Debate
Chicago's waiver of Jaden Ivey proves one narrow thing clearly: the Bulls drew a real line on standards. It does not rescue the larger franchise story.
