In what was a forgettable season for the Chicago Bulls, Coby White impressed during the 2022-23 campaign. In fact, White very well may be one of the guards of the future for Chicago. Despite dealing with trade rumors, White posted 9.7 points per game on 44.3 percent field goal and 37.2 percent three-point shooting. Although […]

Chris Paul and the Phoenix Suns are parting ways this offseason, putting one of the most decorated point guards in NBA history up for grabs.

Where can Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid go in free agency? The 6-foot-9-inch center ended the 2022-23 season with averages of 11.5 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game in 68 games and 11 starts. His season was highlighted by a 27-point, 13-rebound performance against the Dallas Mavericks in December, a game that saw […]

Malik Beasley had a disappointing end to his 2022-2023 campaign. After being acquired by the Los Angeles Lakers at the NBA trade deadline, he saw a decent amount of minutes before the Lakers playoff push. Once the 2023 NBA Playoffs began, Beasley was relegated to the bench and watched the postseason from the pine. All […]

Dennis Schroder had a really solid season for the Los Angeles Lakers. He both came off the bench and started, and was a pivotal part of the Lakers postseason run into the Western Conference Finals. Schroder was the primary defender on opposing teams’ best guards, wreaking havoc against the likes of Ja Morant and Stephen […]

Michael Jordan once made sure a fan won $1 million after he knocked down an 80-foot shot during a timeout of a Chicago Bulls home game. It’s normal for NBA teams to host in-arena entertainment during timeouts. For the Bulls on April 13, 1994, one of them was a three-quarter-court shot contest with a chance […]

Another rare pair of Michael Jordan‘s game-worn sneakers have hit auction. The earliest documented pair of sneakers Jordan wore were the Converse All-Stars as he donned them on an international stage at the 1983 Pan American Games.

The Chicago Bulls enter NBA free agency in the 2023 offseason at a crossroads. Nikola Vucevic is a Bulls’ free agent, and Lonzo Ball is heading for a third knee surgery that may cost him yet another season. There are plenty of Bulls free agent target rumors out there as the NBA offseason begins, and […]

Jordan Clarkson is coming off of a career season where he averaged 20.8 points per game, and is now set to hit NBA free agency with plenty of bidders. He will be entering his 12th season in the NBA, and given his production last year, will most likely earn his most lucrative contract for his […]

Nikola Vucevic hits the free agent market this offseason and could be an excellent addition to teams in need of help up front. The two-time All-Star is known for his offensive skill set. Vucevic is a 32-year-old veteran who excels scoring from all three levels of the floor at center. While Vucevic isn’t performing at […]

The Chicago Bulls made a bad trade back in 2021, sending Wendell Carter Jr., Otto Porter Jr., and two first-round picks to the Orland Magic for Nikola Vucevic. The big man hasn’t helped the Bulls reach the next level and now enters NBA free agency in the 2023 offseason. While letting him walk makes the […]

Philadelphia 76ers point guard James Harden had a very solid season this year, albeit it ending in disappointment in the second round of the 2023 NBA Playoffs. Once again, Harden faltered when the lights got bright and he will have to carry another blemish alongside his postseason resume. James Harden now arrives in NBA free […]

Kyrie Irving is going to have the most talked about NBA free agency this summer. Arguably the most polarizing figure across the league, there is no denying the talent that comes along with the controversies he inevitably brings with him. Once NBA free agency begins, Kyrie Irving will be coveted by teams across the league […]

Jimmy Butler started off his career some 12 years ago with the Chicago Bulls as the last pick in the first round of the 2011 NBA Draft. At that time, LeBron James and the Miami Heat were one of Chicago’s biggest rivals, which apparently prompted a bold promise from Butler early in his career. During […]

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic has accomplished a lot in his NBA career. He’s made the league’s All-Star team twice and has averaged a double-double in each of his last five seasons. But while Vucevic is an incredibly talented scorer and rebounder, he’s little more than a league-average defender, and his ineptness on that end […]

Have we seen the last of Lonzo Ball in the NBA? According to the recent rumors making the buzz around league circles, that could be the case as the Chicago Bulls guard continues to deal with his injury woes. Ball has been dealing with a knee injury the past season and half. He played only […]

A game-worn jersey by NBA all-time great Michael Jordan in the 1992 Olympics sold for $3 million at a recent auction. The auction was held by Karl Malone, who reportedly sold off various memorabilia from his time with the 1992 ‘Dream Team.’ Jordan’s jersey was signed for Malone and reads, “To Karl, good luck.” You […]

Together, Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen led the Chicago Bulls to one of the greatest dynasties in the history of the game. However, despite their unbridled chemistry on the basketball court, it’s also no secret that these two weren’t exactly best friends off of it. Pippen recently came out with another hot take against his […]

In a recent episode of his podcast, “KG Certified,” Celtics legend Kevin Garnett squashed his beef with former Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah. The two go all the way back in 2007, during Noah’s rookie year. Noah would approach Garnett, saying how KG was his idol growing up, even telling him how he had a […]

The Chicago Bulls have struggled badly for more than 25 years since Michael Jordan left the organization. Yet the team’s glory years are still front of mind for many Bulls fans and even some ex-players. That includes Scott Williams, who was recently wrote a book called “Through the Fire,” and was a guest for Trill […]

Scott Williams isn’t exactly the first name that comes to mind when you think about the Chicago Bulls dynasty back in the 1990s. However, alongside the great Michael Jordan, Williams also played a relatively significant role in the Bulls‘ first three-peat between 1991 and 1993. Williams, however, was not around for the second three-peat. In […]

Chicago Bulls legend Scottie Pippen was the second best player on the team during the 1990’s, behind Michael Jordan of course. Jordan, arguably the greatest player of all-time, is often the subject of debate alongside LeBron James. Pippen recently shared an eye-opening take on the Jordan-LeBron debate, via Die-Hard Chicago Bulls Fans on Twitter. “LeBron […]

There aren’t many guys that can say they were teammates with both Michael Jordan and LeBron James but 3-time NBA champion Scott Williams is one of them. Entering the NBA as an undrafted free agent in 1990, Williams spent his rookie season with the Chicago Bulls after Jordan got him a workout with the team. […]

3-time NBA champion Scott Williams might not have ever made it to the NBA without the help of former Chicago Bulls superstar Michael Jordan. A UNC product, the 6-foot-10 big man managed to get in a gym with Jordan using his influence and college history, as he tells Legends Lounge host Trill Withers: “…I was […]

Denver Nuggets star guard Jamal Murray is putting is putting the world on notice once again, wreaking havoc in the 2023 NBA Playoffs. With his craftiness and touch, Murray is averaging 27.7 points, 6.1 assists, and 1.7 steals per game in the postseason. He also is shooting 48.0 percent from the field and 39.8 percent […]

Could New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose return to the Chicago Bulls in the offseason? It’s an idea that makes sense. With the Knicks now focused on their summer after a successful year where they made the Eastern Conference semifinals, one of the key areas to address is the future of Rose. The veteran guard […]

There’s absolutely no love lost between Patrick Beverley and Chris Paul. These two clearly don’t like each other, and their animosity has spilled over on the basketball court on more than one occasion. Be that as it may, the Pat Bev-CP3 feud has been relatively quiet of late. That is until the Chicago Bulls veteran […]

There has been a lot of talk surrounding James Harden potentially parting ways with the Philadelphia 76ers this summer. This is after the Sixers were eliminated in the second round of the NBA Playoffs by the Boston Celtics, thereby putting into question the effectiveness of the Joel Embiid-James Harden partnership in Philly. At this point, […]

Sometimes the NBA is just unfair and unforgiving, as Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball can attest to. The second overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, Ball is already on his third team after failing to live up to expectations with the Los Angeles Lakers and leaving the New Orleans Pelicans — his second […]

What is already expected to be a very interesting offseason for the Chicago Bulls is about to get even more intriguing. This is after reports emerged that the Bulls intend to attend Scoot Henderson’s pro day ahead of the NBA Draft. What makes this noteworthy is that this could be a clear indication of Chicago’s […]

Earlier in this season’s NBA Playoffs, Ja Morant and Giannis Antetokounmpo both suffered series-altering injuries on what turned out to be almost the exact same play. Morant hurt his wrist while Antetokounmpo suffered a back injury after both players were involved in an offensive foul that saw them take the hit after an opposing defender […]

One of the biggest what-ifs in NBA history is what the league would have looked like had one of its marquee players — perennial All-Star, Carmelo Anthony — signed with the Miami Heat or Chicago Bulls instead of the New York Knicks. Had Carmelo decided not to sign a contract extension with the New York […]

In the summer of 2021, DeMar DeRozan was without a doubt one of the biggest names in NBA free agency. The six-time All-Star was linked to a handful of teams, which also included a homecoming to his native of LA to join the Los Angeles Clippers. In the end, though, DeRozan chose to join the […]

There are rumors around the NBA that suggest the Portland Trail Blazers are interested in trading away the third overall pick. Others state Damian Lillard could be traded, although that seems likely likely. One rumor making the rounds says the Chicago Bulls could trade Zach LaVine to the Blazers, per KC Johnson of NBC Sports. […]

DeMar DeRozan remains to be one of the top players in the NBA today. The Chicago Bulls star has been around the block for quite a bit too, which means that he’s also earned a whole lot of money through his years in the league. Before he became a self-made millionaire in the NBA, though, […]

The Chicago Bulls will be without a first round selection in the 2023 NBA Draft because of the past trade for Nikola Vucevic from the Orlando Magic. When meeting with Bulls at the NBA Draft Combine, prospect Brandon Miller shut down any speculation that the Bulls would trade into the first round to select him, […]

Brandon Miller is in elite company when it comes to the 2023 NBA Draft. The 6’9 freshman was one of the premier players in college basketball this season, averaging 18.8 points and 8.2 rebounds per game for Alabama. He has tremendous offensive upside and shooting ability, and isn’t half bad on defense either. However, Miller […]

There are times when the main issue for a player is fitting alongside his teammates. There are also times when the main issue for a team is chemistry. For the Phoenix Suns, those moments have converged and it’s among the reasons they were eliminated from the 2023 NBA Playoffs. Given how well Kevin Durant and […]
