Several years have passed since the Chicago Bulls were last known as one of the Eastern Conference’s elite. So it’s no wonder that it has also been a couple of years since the Bulls have been viewed as a top destination for free agents — despite the fact Chicago is a major city, which typically helps make a franchise more attractive in free agency. But a great city can only do so much when the potential for success there is slim. The Bulls haven’t made the playoffs since the 2016-17 season…

Heading into Tuesday night’s matchup against an elite Eastern Conference team in the Brooklyn Nets, the Chicago Bulls looked to be in great shape. They had a three-game winning streak, and Zach LaVine and Nikola Vučević had been providing a dominant two-man game that could turn Chicago into a legitimate threat. But the Bulls looked more like last season’s team Tuesday: one that relied heavily on LaVine with no one to help him out. At halftime, the Bulls were down 64-51, and LaVine was the…

Coby White began the season as the Chicago Bulls’ starting point guard, and it looks as though he’ll finish the season in the same role. But a demotion and growth has played a role in the success he has recently achieved.

For the time being, the New York Knicks will be making their first selection of the NBA draft with the No. 19 pick. But there’s a chance the Knicks will find themselves on the clock even sooner than that. According to the New York Post’s Marc Berman, the Knicks could be looking to trade up in the draft, trying to enter the lottery spots to get as high up in the draft as the No. 12 pick. With a 41-31 finish this past season, New York were the Eastern Conference’s No. 4 seed and made the pla…

While it was nice for the New York Knicks to have returned to postseason play for the first time since the 2012-13 season, their first-round exit further demonstrated their need to make an upgrade at the point guard position. The Knicks could fill this void by trading for a point guard like Lonzo Ball, Damian Lillard or Kemba Walker. But should that route not come to fruition, then New York could get the point guard they need in the NBA draft. At the moment, the Knicks own four picks in th…

Shooting is a skill that is more valuable in the NBA now more than it has ever been before. And it has become so essential to the game that players can make a name for themselves on shooting alone if they’re good enough. This could be what brought NBA draft prospect Matthew Hurt to the Los Angeles Clippers’ radar. Last week, Darren Wolfson of KSTP-TV in Minneapolis reported that the Clippers were one of several teams that Hurt had a workout scheduled with. The Clippers, at the moment, own…

The New York Knicks need a point guard, and there are different ways that they can address that. Perhaps the Knicks put together a trade package using one or multiple of their four draft picks — which is what has become expected of the franchise. Or they can simply use one of their picks to draft a point guard. If New York wants to find their next point guard via the draft, then there’s a possibility that it takes West Virginia’s Miles McBride. As reported by Marc Berman of the New York…

With Tom Thibodeau as head coach of the New York Knicks, defensive ability is a must for the players on the Knicks’ roster. That said, should the Knicks keep any of the four NBA draft picks that they currently own, those rookies will need to buy into defense to work well in New York. But, beyond that, Thibodeau knows the Knicks need to better their offense. He brought up a need to add to their offense when he appeared on ESPN’s telecast of the NBA Draft Combine in late June. If Jaden Sprin…

At the moment, the Los Angeles Lakers own just one pick in the NBA draft: No. 22. But the Lakers are still taking a look at players outside of that range. According to Darren Wolfson of KSTP-TV in Minneapolis, the Lakers have Duke forward Matthew Hurt scheduled for a workout. Hurt is projected to be selected in the late-second round, but it is also possible that he will go undrafted and get picked up as an undrafted free agent. Unless the Lakers make moves to acquire a second-round pick, H…

Drafted in ninth overall in the 2007 NBA draft, Joakim Noah became a beloved fan favorite during his time with the Chicago Bulls thanks to the heart, hustle and muscle — as Stacey King likes to say — he consistently brought to the hardwood each game. He was a key player during the Bulls’ success in the early 2010s. Led by Derrick Rose in his prime, the Bulls finished atop the league standings for the 2010-11 regular season with a 62-20 record. That same season, Rose was named the league’s MVP…

When the U.S. Olympic men’s basketball team heads to Tokyo for the 2020 Summer Games, Zach LaVine will be the lone member of the Chicago Bulls to compete on the squad. But before the Olympic team leaves the country in pursuit of another gold medal, it will go up against another member of the Bulls. On Thursday afternoon, USA Basketball announced its 17-player roster for the Select Team, and Bulls rookie Patrick Williams was among those listed. The Select Team will be coached by Miami Heat…

When it’s time to announce the Chicago Bulls’ starting lineup at the United Center, the lights go out for a moment, creating a mostly dark arena. Then, the place is illuminated with red tones as the electronic signage wrapping around the stadium flashes various red graphics while red spotlights travel throughout the environment. The massive video scoreboard — which features 8,600 square feet displays and debuted during the 2019-20 season — then plays what has become an iconic introduction vid…

The New York Knicks have a lot to decide as the NBA draft nears. With four picks in this year’s draft (Nos. 19, 21, 32 and 58), the Knicks have a good amount of flexibility. They can keep all four picks for themselves and add to their roster that way. Or they can package some or all of their picks in a trade to acquire another team’s player — perhaps Damian Lillard — and/or a higher draft pick. Trading up seems like a likely scenario, and it would give the Knicks a better chance at selecti…
