Caleb Wilson made it clear: he wants to win Rookie of the Year for the Chicago Bulls. But does he actually have a real path to beat AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, and Cam Boozer?

On today’s episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down Wilson’s strongest Rookie of the Year case, why his two-way production could matter more than raw scoring, and how playing next to Josh Giddey, Nic Claxton, Matas Buzelis, and Dailyn Swain could unlock him early.

Haize also dives into one of the Bulls’ most underrated offseason tools: the Bird rights for Anfernee Simons and Collin Sexton. Could Chicago use sign-and-trade possibilities to turn both guards into future draft capital, young players, or rotation depth instead of losing them for nothing?

Plus, the voicemail line is back as Bulls fans react to Caleb Wilson, Dailyn Swain, Patrick Williams, spacing concerns, possible free agent targets, and what Chicago still needs this offseason.

The Chicago Bulls still have major offseason flexibility, and Haize breaks down how the team can use its remaining cap space to improve the roster, absorb contracts, and potentially add draft capital. After the Nic Claxton trade, Chicago may still have roughly $30 million in cap room, giving the Bulls a chance to become a trade-absorption team instead of relying only on free agency.

On today’s episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize looks at realistic Bulls trade targets who could help on the floor, including Lu Dort, Isaiah Joe, Wendell Carter Jr., Jarrett Allen, Jonathan Isaac, Isaiah Hartenstein, Jalen Suggs, Dejounte Murray, and Cam Johnson. The Bulls need shooting, defense, physicality, and roster balance around Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson, Dailyn Swain, and Nic Claxton.

Haize also breaks down contract-dump targets Chicago could take on for draft compensation, including DeMar DeRozan and Jakob Poeltl, and why the Bulls should ask one key question in those talks: what draft capital is attached?

The episode also dives into the Bulls’ rotation crunch heading into the 2026-27 season. With Caleb Wilson and Dailyn Swain joining the roster, players like Leonard Miller, Patrick Williams, Noa Essengue, Rob Dillingham, Tre Jones, Kam Jones, Jalen Smith, and Isaac Okoro could all face real pressure for consistent minutes.

Plus, Haize reacts to Bryson Graham defending the Bulls’ second-round draft trades, including the Braden Smith move to Indiana for Kam Jones, cash considerations, and future draft value. Was Chicago smart to preserve roster flexibility, or did the Bulls sell a pick too cheaply?
