Did ESPN underrate the Chicago Bulls’ offseason? Haize breaks down why a C+ grade for Bryson Graham’s first offseason feels too harsh when the Bulls landed Caleb Wilson at No. 4, drafted Dailyn Swain at No. 15, added Nic Claxton, signed Norman Powell, brought back Zach Collins, and still maintained future flexibility.The Bulls did not have the flashiest offseason in the NBA, but they finally looked calculated. Powell’s deal includes a team option, Claxton was added without giving up meaningful value, and Collins’ deal also keeps Chicago flexible. That is a major change from the short-sighted roster-building Bulls fans have been frustrated with for years.Then Haize turns to Matas Buzelis’ potential Most Improved Player case. Matas is focused on getting stronger, has upgraded his nutrition with a chef, wants to attack the rim more, has interest in working with Deni Avdija, and has already worked with Dirk Nowitzki on shooting. If Buzelis gets a bigger role under Tiago Splitter, could he enter the 2027 MIP conversation?🔥 Topics include:Why ESPN’s Bulls offseason grade misses contextCaleb Wilson changing the direction of the rebuildNorman Powell, Nic Claxton, and Zach Collins as flexible veteran additionsBryson Graham’s first offseason gradeMatas Buzelis getting stronger entering Year 3Why Matas wants to attack the rim moreDeni Avdija as a developmental modelDirk Nowitzki helping Matas with shootingCan Matas Buzelis win Most Improved Player?Voicemails on Caleb, Matas, Noa Essengue, Dailyn Swain, Josh Giddey, and organic team-building🎧 Tap in with Haize on Chicago Bulls Central for the full breakdown!Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/BullsCentralPodGet at us:Email: BullsCentralPod@gmail.comTwitter:@BullsCentralPodPhone: (773) 270-2799Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
