We closed the show with reaction to the change in the NBA's landscape following the decisions by Kawhi Leonard and Kevin Durant. 

2019 Bulls Free Agency

This week we discussed the Bulls free agency plans. We discussed Malcolm Brogdon and whether the Bulls should be all in to sign him. We also talked about the effects of giving Brogdon a big contract and building a team with him going forward. We then transitioned into a discussion of whether the Bulls are going the right route by preferring to offer short-term contracts, rather than make a big splash. We talked Ricky Rubio, Patrick Beverley, Cory Joseph, and some of the PG options who could be more affordable for the team. We also had a discussion on the Bulls Las Vegas Summer League team and what we're looking forward to seeing the most from the players participating.

Changing of the Guard (with Stephen Noh)

Stephen Noh of The Athletic Chicago joined us to discuss the Bulls NBA Draft. We talked about 1st round pick Coby White and how he fits with the Bulls lineup. We also asked Stephen about how White can further influence a change in offensive style for the Bulls next season. We looked ahead to free agency to discuss the options the Bulls will have to further upgrade the position in the summer. We also wondered about Kris Dunn's future with the team and if the team will eventually move him in the offseason. We also discussed the Bulls 2nd round pick Daniel Gafford and the role he'll play off the bench for the team.

This week we gave our final thoughts on what direction the Bulls will go in during the NBA Draft. We discussed Coby White, Cam Reddish, and DeAndre Hunter among others. We also talked about Jaxson Hayes and tried to make sense of why the Bulls are intrigued by him. We reacted to the Zach LaVine trade rumors and the Bulls interest in Lonzo Ball before news broke of the Anthony Davis trade. We also discussed whether the additions of Chris Fleming and Roy Rogers to the Bulls coaching staff makes us more optimistic of Jim Boylen. We also made predictions of who the Bulls will select in the draft. 

2nd Round Knockout (with Michael Walton II)

Michael Walton of Bulls Confidential and NBC Sports Chicago returned to breakdown his favorite second round draft prospects. He told us how Jontay Porter can bounce back from his ACL injuries, the value Ty Jerome can bring to a team, and why Shamorie Ponds can be a nice flyer for the Bulls if they miss out on a PG in the first round. We also give our predictions for the direction we think the Bulls will go with the 7th and 38th picks in the draft.

We also talked Darius Garland and Corey broke down why Garland could end up becoming one of the best players in the draft. We closed out with a discussion on Coby White and Corey explained some of the encouraging signs in White's game. Corey also gave us his sleeper choices in the first round, who the Bulls should target in the second round, and whether trading the pick for Lonzo Ball would be a wise move for the Bulls. 

Making A Point (with Big Dave Watson)

Big Dave Watson of Bawl! Sports and Bulls Outsiders joined us to discuss the latest Bulls news coming out of the NBA Draft Combine.
