CHGO Chicago Bulls Podcast

The CHGO Bulls crew breaks down potential 2026 NBA Draft strategies for the Chicago Bulls after landing an additional first-round pick thanks to the Portland Trail Blazers securing the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference. The long-awaited return from the Lauri Markkanen trade is finally here—and it could reshape the franchise alongside young pieces like Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis. Peck, Big Dave, and Will Gottlieb debate whether the Bulls should swing big if they jump into the top 4, or how to approach picks No. 9 and No. 15 if they stay put. Should Chicago draft for need or take the best player available to build around Giddey and Buzelis? Plus, the crew reacts to Coby White’s standout Play-In performance with the Charlotte Hornets and revisits whether the Bulls made the right call moving on from him.
