Three days. That’s all that separates us from seeing Derrick Rose’s number raised to the rafters at the United Center—his legacy officially immortalized, his name forever sharing space with Michael Jordan. That’s wild for any player, let alone one who grew up in Chicago dreaming of that moment.
And in the buildup to this surreal occasion, Rose has been busy. Making appearances, creating content, selling roses, dropping clothing lines, basically doing anything and everything the Chicago Bu...

The Chicago Bulls might be… becoming self-aware? Obviously, please don’t hold your breath, but it appears team president Arturas Karnisovas , six seasons into his tenure at the franchise’s helm, appreciates midseason that his team is going nowhere. He might actually, really, be open to pivoting from his doomed roster for the second straight season — and a pair of New Orleans Pelicans frontcourt stalwarts, two-time All-Star power forward Zion Williamson and second-year center Yves Missi , could...

I can count on my fingers and toes how many days are left until the NBA trade deadline. But I’d need everyone’s fingers if I tried to count how many trade rumors the Chicago Bulls are tied to.
With seven expiring contracts on the books, the Bulls should be the belle of the ball when it comes to trade negotiations. Yet with nothing materializing so far, Chicago risks striking out on extracting real value from its assets — a headline the franchise seems oddly comfortable wearing.

Wow, wow, wow. Yes, the Los Angeles Clippers were shorthanded, but it sure didn’t look like the Chicago Bulls had any trouble taking care of business last night. They played a beautiful brand of basketball, and did it in front of QB1 and PCA, no less. Honestly, what more could you ask for?
With another win in the books, the Bulls are somehow inching closer to a real playoff spot. Not the fake, awkward play-in territory, a legitimate playoff position. And with the trade deadline approachin...

The Chicago Bulls edged their way back towards a .500 record tonight with a resounding 138-110 victory against the visiting LA Clippers. Ultimately, a pace-and-space Chicago squad missing Josh Giddey throttled a halfcourt-heavy, heliocentric Clippers club without Kawhi Leonard.
The Bulls rained down a season-high tally of triples and enjoyed a pass-happy approach to improve to a thoroughly mediocre 21-22 record on the year.
Coby White , even playing on a minutes restriction, looked l...

The Chicago Bulls have a tall task on their hands tonight as they host the red-hot Los Angeles Clippers. Winners of 13 of their last 15 games , the Clippers have surged up the Western Conference standings.
Not long ago, the entire league was holding its breath when they sat near the bottom of the West, especially with the reigning NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder owning their draft pick. Fast forward to now, and Los Angeles finds itself firmly in the play-in picture, with a real chance ...

The Golden State Warriors were dealt a significant blow on Monday night when small forward Jimmy Butler suffered a season-ending ACL tear, according ESPN’s Shams Charania . Golden State had been trending up prior to the injury and walked away with a win against the Miami Heat even after Butler went down in the third quarter.
The Warriors have won seven of their last 10 contests, and, at 24-19, are suddenly within range of a top-six seed in the Western Conference.

How are we doing, Chicago? A Bears-shaped wound is still fresh from Sunday, but the Bulls play tonight! So yes, the pain may actually continue.
However, I am an Indiana alum, so I’m in a good mood — maybe good enough to not be impacted too much by a Bulls game against the Clippers. Let’s see if that happiness is contagious.

The Chicago Bulls might be getting their best player back this week. On Sunday, $100 million point guard Josh Giddey partook in his first five-on-five practice since suffering a hamstring strain during a workout with the Bulls’ NBAGL affiliate, the Windy City Bulls.
Giddey’s All-Star reserve dreams may be dashed if he misses much more time. We already know he missed out on starting , although that never felt like a real possibility. In 10 games without the 6-foot-7 Aussie, the Bulls have ...

Amidst a special triple-header Martin Luther King Jr. Day slate of national games on NBC/Peacock, the NBA’s 10 All-Star starters for next month were announced. And no, injured Chicago Bulls point guard Josh Giddey — the Bulls’ best player this year — did not make the cut.
After missing 10 straight games for Chicago with a hamstring strain, there’s a decent chance Giddey won’t be named an All-Star reserve this year, either. He’s been enjoying a breakout run, averaging a near-triple-double ...

Even though the Chicago Bulls won last night, the city of Chicago isn’t exactly celebrating. And no—it’s not because the Bulls beat a shorthanded team (though, let’s be honest, that does mean very little). It’s because the dream-like season of the Chicago Bears came to an end.
We may be Bulls writers here, but we can still appreciate what we witnessed. So I won’t cry because it’s over, I’ll smile because it happened.
Now, back to the hardwood.

Here are two words that go really well together: “Bulls” and “Fail.” Not just a reality on the court, but an even bigger one in the front office.
Right now, all eyes are on the Chicago Bulls — especially on their players with lucrative expiring contracts. On paper, those contracts are a golden ticket for NBA teams looking to dump bad money and regain financial flexibility.
But having leverage only matters if you know how to use it.

Happy Sunday, Bulls fans!
We’ve got a game tonight… other than the Bears. How about an immediate Chicago vs. Brooklyn rematch? After the Bulls failed to complete the comeback on Friday, they get a third crack at the Nets. At this point, it might not even be in the Bulls’ best interest to win this one, but as they keep hovering just under .500, you already know what’s coming. They’ll find a way to win, pull themselves right back to the middle, and keep the cycle alive.

The Bulls’ Nikola Vucevic Experience might finally, mercifully be nearing its end. The former two-time All-Star’s $21.5 million salary comes off Chicago’s books this summer. So it’s encouraging to hear that Chicago is potentially in the market to add more center help this year. Grant Afseth of Dallas Hoops Journal reports that the Bulls and Indiana Pacers are both considering trades for second-year New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi.
