Bulls Hire Jordan Brink! Did Bryson Graham’s Offseason Deserve The Criticism? 👀🐂
from Locked On Bulls - Daily Podcast On The Chicago Bulls · host Locked On Podcast Network
The Chicago Bulls are adding another voice to Tiago Splitter’s staff, and this move could matter a lot for the future of the young core. 👀🐂 On today’s episode of Locked On Bulls, Haize and Pat The Designer react to the Bulls hiring Jordan Brink and what his role could mean for player development in Chicago. With young pieces like Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson, Dailyn Swain, Noa Essengue, Rob Dillingham, Jaylin Sellers, and Patrick Williams, the Bulls need more than just talent — they need a real development plan. The guys discuss how Brink could help build structure, accountability, and growth habits around a roster that is still trying to turn upside into reliable NBA production. Can this coaching staff finally help Chicago develop players at a higher level than fans have seen in recent years? Haize and Pat also revisit the three most criticized moves of Bryson Graham’s first offseason running the Bulls. Was it the lack of a bigger swing trade? Not adding enough shooting? The handling of second-round picks? The Zach Collins deal? Or the decision to stay patient instead of pushing harder to reshape the roster immediately? Plus, the guys react to the Bulls being ranked as the 6th most profitable NBA franchise last season and what that says about expectations for ownership, spending, and roster-building. If Chicago remains one of the league’s strongest business machines, should fans expect a more aggressive basketball operation? Topics Include: Bulls hire Jordan Brink What Brink can bring to player development How the Bulls can help Caleb Wilson, Dailyn Swain, Noa Essengue, and Matas Buzelis Tiago Splitter’s coaching staff taking shape The three most criticized Bryson Graham offseason moves Did the Bulls do enough to fix shooting and depth?

The Bulls are trying to build a new era around development, patience, and long-term upside. But when the franchise is this profitable, fans have every right to ask whether Chicago should be moving with more urgency. 🎙️ Tune in to Locked On Bulls as Haize and Pat break down the Jordan Brink hire, the most criticized moves of Bryson Graham’s offseason, and what the Bulls’ profitability says about the franchise’s future.
