The Chicago Bulls have officially hired Tiago Splitter as their next head coach, beginning a new era for the franchise after Billy Donovan’s departure. Splitter comes to Chicago after leading the Portland Trail Blazers as acting head coach during the 2025-26 season, helping guide a young roster to a 42-40 record and a Play-In Tournament win.

On today’s Locked On Bulls, we break down what Tiago Splitter brings to Chicago, why the Bulls chose him over finalists like Micah Nori, Ryan Schmidt, and Wes Unseld Jr., and how his background in player development could impact Coby White, Matas Buzelis, Jaden Ivey, and the rest of this young Bulls core.

Is Splitter the right coach to lead the Bulls into their next era? What does this hire say about the direction of the front office? And can Chicago finally build a modern identity around development, pace, defense, and accountability?

The Chicago Bulls could be heading toward one of the most controversial draft scenarios of the offseason. 🐂🔥

According to Sam Smith, a surprising slide by Darryn Peterson to the #4 overall pick could actually create a nightmare situation for the Bulls. Haize and Pat break down why Peterson's availability might complicate Chicago's draft plans, how he compares to other top prospects, and whether passing on him would create even bigger questions for the franchise. 👀🏀

The guys also discuss one of the strangest storylines of the pre-draft process: Caleb Wilson has reportedly not worked out for any NBA team. Should Bulls fans be concerned? Is this a calculated strategy from Wilson's camp, or could it signal something teams are evaluating behind the scenes? Haize and Pat dive into what it means for Wilson's draft stock and Chicago's potential interest. 📊🔥

Plus, Brett Siegel is reporting that the Bulls could be on the verge of making their head coaching hire, potentially as soon as today. The guys discuss the latest coaching search developments, who the likely frontrunners are, and what the decision could reveal about Bryson Graham's long-term vision for the organization. 👀

Draft drama. Coaching search updates. Big questions facing the Bulls.

Locked On Bulls

Hosted by Haize & Pat The Designer

The Chicago Bulls offseason is starting to take shape, and several major developments could impact the franchise's future. 🐂🔥

First, Tiago Splitter has officially received an in-person interview for the Bulls' head coaching vacancy, making him one of the most serious candidates in Chicago's search. Haize and Pat break down what this means for the coaching race and whether Splitter is emerging as the frontrunner to become Bryson Graham's first head coaching hire. 👀🏀

The guys also discuss five teams that could make sense as trade partners for the Bulls this offseason, including:

🔥 Los Angeles Clippers

🔥 Sacramento Kings

🔥 Atlanta Hawks

🔥 Dallas Mavericks

🔥 Miami Heat

Which team offers the best opportunity for Chicago to add assets, move contracts, or accelerate the rebuild? Haize and Pat explore realistic trade scenarios and what each franchise could bring to the negotiating table. 📊

Plus, the Bulls continue evaluating talent ahead of the NBA Draft with Karim Lopez participating in a pre-draft workout. The guys discuss Lopez's upside, his fit within Chicago's rebuilding timeline, and whether he could be another international prospect worth monitoring as the draft approaches. 🌎🏀

Coaching search updates. Trade possibilities. Draft workouts.
