The Chicago Bulls kick off Summer League against the Memphis Grizzlies, offering their first real look at rookies Caleb Wilson and Dailyn Swain — but there’s more than meets the eye. New head coach Tiago Splitter is personally calling the shots in Game 1, signaling his commitment to building culture from day one. Meanwhile, Noa Essengue, sidelined last season, has a chance to prove he’s ready to step up — especially with Wilson and Swain around. And don’t sleep on Jaylin Sellers, the undrafted free agent with NBA-caliber scoring potential. This summer could be the first real glimpse into where the Bulls are headed — and it’s already shaping up to be a story worth watching.

The Chicago Bulls could be on the verge of a major future upgrade by targeting Philadelphia’s draft assets—especially after the Jaylen Brown trade. With Brown, Maxey, Embiid, and Edgecombe all set to hit free agency after 2029-30, Philly’s future picks could become goldmines. Already sending picks to Boston for Brown, Philly still has valuable future selections—potentially 2032 or 2033 first-rounders—that the Bulls should aggressively pursue. If Philly can’t re-sign all four stars, those picks could be the key to Chicago’s long-term dominance.

Denver Nuggets are reportedly open to a sign-and-trade for Peyton Watson, a versatile scorer and defender who averaged over 14 points last season. While initially thought to match any offer, the Nuggets now seem willing to listen to the right deal — especially if the Chicago Bulls, with their future picks and young assets, come calling. A move like this could be a major piece in Chicago’s rebuild, and with the right package, Watson might be headed to the Windy City.
