The fact that single women are AGGRESSIVELY turning down men who as much as lean towards the right, politically, is extremely exciting.

This will be utterly fascinating to track through a long-term lense, just in how it'll affect future generations.

Unsurprisingly, women may save us all.

I'm sorry, but you do not waive the player with the coolest fucking name in NBA history. Inexcusable.
The Oklahoma City Thunder signed forward Buddy Boeheim to a two-way contract and waived two-way guard Chris Youngblood.

Tyus Jones replacement. Not bad. Like this for Orlando a fair bit.
Free agent guard Jevon Carter has agreed to a deal with the Orlando Magic for the rest of the season, Mark Bartelstein and Reggie Brown of @PrioritySports tell ESPN. Carter, who shot 41% from 3 with the Bulls, gives guard depth to Orlando.

That is a STEEP price for Zu.

Yeah, good luck with that if the NBA steps in and have him go a physical with their doctors.

If he's still genuinely injured in a few weeks, with long odds of returning, sure, it's a solid plan. If he's healthy in a month, and he's not playing, I fully expect the league to intervene.

The Bulls will go to the Bucks this summer, like a kid having saved up quarters for a whole year for a new laptop, and put their second-rounders on the table and ask "Is this enough for Giannis?"

Jon Horst will sigh profusely and ask where their parents are.

It's ASTONISHING how the Bulls just can't squeeze a first out of any team they trade their players to.

Vooch, LaVine, DeRozan, Ayo, White, Caruso.. not a single first-round pick acquired from that group.
Minnesota traded Rob Dillingham, Leonard Miller and four second-round picks to Chicago for Dosunmu and Julian Phillips, sources said.
February 5, 2026 at 3:07 PM
People will throw bricks at me for saying this, but the Bulls just traded away their best guard, and yes, that includes Josh Giddey.

It's surprising, because Ayo wanted to stick, allegedly.
Just in: The Chicago Bulls have traded Ayo Dosunmu to the Minnesota Timberwolves, sources tell ESPN.

Imagine being an NBA fan and ending up in a short-term coma right before the trade deadline.

"Heeeey, buddy. Glad to see you're OK."

"How long have I been out?"

"Well, Harden is a Cav, AD is a Wizard, JJJ is in Utah, the Bulls have literally every guard in the NBA, and Giannis is still a Buck."

Solid deal for New York.

They get out of Yabusele's player option for next year at $5.7 million, and take on a RFA who they can just let walk.

Surprised the Bulls didn't squeeze a second out of this, unless more details are to emerge.
The New York Knicks are trading Guerschon Yabusele to the Chicago Bulls for Dalen Terry, sources tell ESPN.

Lonzo should sign with Toronto.

We need a Dick & Ball backcourt.

I'm not going to link to each individual piece and clog up your feed with trade grades. That's not very nice.

Instead, I'll just link to this archive, where you can find all the trade grades - because I'm nice like that.

Now go click. You owe me for Greenland.

Four years ago, the Bulls were in first place in the East. AK traded away the entire top 6 from that roster, all of them too late.

The only first round pick he received was the team's own in 2025, in exchange for DeRozan, LaVine, Ball, Vooch, Caruso, and Coby White.
February 4, 2026 at 8:14 PM
I've been saying for at least a year-and-a-half that the Bulls utterly wasted the opportunity to trade White while he had value.

To wait until the final year of his deal to move him, when his value is at arguably the lowest, was always a horrific idea.
Just in: The Chicago Bulls are trading Coby White and Mike Conley Jr. to the Charlotte Hornets for Collin Sexton, Ousmane Dieng and three second-round picks, sources tell ESPN.

Relinquishing picks for a guy who is rarely available, is turning 33, is clearly declining, and who is on one of the worst deals in the league is quite... uh, something.
BREAKING: The Dallas Mavericks are trading 10-time NBA All-Star Anthony Davis, Jaden Hardy, D'Angelo Russell and Dante Exum to the Washington Wizards for Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham, Marvin Bagley III, 2 first-round picks and 3 second-rounders, sources tell ESPN.

So the Celtics just shaved off $6 million off their luxury tax balance, and all they gave up was a second that's expected to be better than the one they received?

Has it become that cheap to get off money?
February 3, 2026 at 9:19 PM
Duh. I read Shams too quickly. Bulls give up a second too?

But, why? They do the Celtics a favor here.
Looks like they gave up a 2nd as well, so it's basically just Vooch for Simons (assuming it's not a fake 2nd)
February 3, 2026 at 8:50 PM
Celtics shave some millions off their luxury tax bill, and the Bulls get a second as a thank you.

Gotta say... Chicago has done good work this deadline.

They've only taken on money for this season, but no future salary.
BREAKING: The Chicago Bulls are trading center Nikola Vucevic and a second-round pick to the Boston Celtics for Anfernee Simons and a second-round pick, sources tell ESPN.

We will see multiple 6'5 guys grab boards over both Jaren and Lauri, and it'll be hilarious every single time.
One stiff breeze could decimate that whole front line.
