The Chicago Bulls are heading into a massive Heat vs Bulls matchup in Chicago… but the injury report is getting CRAZY. 😳 The Bulls could be without Josh Giddey, Nikola Vucevic, Coby White, and Jalen Smith—and if that happens, this game might turn into a “strategic punt” with the second night of the back-to-back in mind.

Meanwhile, Miami isn’t fully healthy either (no Tyler Herro, Norman Powell out, Davion Mitchell doubtful, and Terry Rozier still away), so this could be one of the weirdest games of the season.

And with the NBA Trade Deadline (Feb. 5) right around the corner, the real pressure is on Artūras Karnišovas to finally pick a direction. Are the Bulls buyers? Sellers? Or are we headed straight into the nightmare scenario—a half-measure move that keeps Chicago stuck in Play-In purgatory? 😤

We also talk voicemails, including:

✅ The “don’t yank Matas” convo

✅ Why Suggs isn’t realistic

✅ What “emulate the Pacers” REALLY means

✅ If Missi can be had cheap… aim higher if you move Coby

✅ And the big one: DON’T TRADE AYO 🐶💪

The Chicago Bulls fall 116-113 to the Miami Heat in another heartbreaking loss… and this one hurts.

Coby White had a clean look at a deep game-tying three — and it rimmed out. After the game, White admitted the miss “hurt his heart.” 💔 Meanwhile, Billy Donovan defended his growth and confidence in clutch moments.

But while Coby struggled late, Ayo Dosunmu delivered.

23 points. 7 rebounds. 5 assists. Energy. Leadership. Chicago pride. 🇺🇸🐂

With trade rumors heating up ahead of the Feb. 5 deadline, Ayo may have just made his boldest statement yet about why he belongs in Chicago long-term.

We also break down:

• Jalen Smith’s concerning calf injury 👀
• The latest trade rumors surrounding Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu, Tre Jones & Nikola Vucevic
• Whether the Bulls should prioritize keeping Ayo over Coby
• The latest on potential Yves Missi interest
• What direction this franchise is REALLY heading

This trade deadline could define the future of the Chicago Bulls.

Let’s talk about it.

The NBA trade deadline is heating up, and the Chicago Bulls might finally be ready to make real noise. 🐂🔥

In today’s episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down why a trade between the Chicago Bulls and Houston Rockets makes too much sense to ignore — especially after Steven Adams’ season-ending injury.

Could Houston target:

• 🏀 Coby White for scoring and shooting?
• 🛡️ Ayo Dosunmu for defense and toughness?
• 🎯 Tre Jones as a steady floor general?
• 🧱 Nikola Vucevic or Jalen Smith to bolster frontcourt depth?

We also dive into the biggest looming decision for the Bulls:

💰 Do you pay Coby White $30M per year?

💡 Or re-sign Ayo Dosunmu and move White to the highest bidder?

Plus — are the Bulls exploring a buy-low move for Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan? Is he a reclamation project worth gambling on, or just another roster experiment?

And with three straight games against the Miami Heat coming up, can the Bulls finally shake the team that’s owned them in the Play-In?

This episode tackles roster construction, financial flexibility, playoff aspirations, and whether Artūras Karnišovas is ready to finally pick a direction.
