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.

The Chicago Bulls trade deadline plan might be shifting… and it’s got Bulls fans talking 👀🔥

With Feb. 5 approaching, the Bulls are reportedly among the more active teams looking to make a deal — not just to sell, but to improve playoff chances 🏁 While still trying to add young, athletic pieces around Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis 💪🐂

Here’s the tension: the right move could put Chicago in position to chase the 6-seed ✅… but the wrong move could burn too much cap flexibility 💸 and leave the Bulls stuck — especially with teams like the Pacers likely getting better next season 📈

We also break down a wild rumored 4-team trade concept that would land the Bulls Bennedict Mathurin + Yves Missi + Kevon Looney 😳 (and what the draft compensation + roster math could mean).

Plus, ESPN’s Bobby Marks says the Bulls execs view Ayo Dosunmu as the expiring deal with the most trade appeal 👀✅ and we talk where Ayo and Coby White fit in all the deadline smoke 🌫️

Then we pivot to a Bulls vs Pacers preview 🆚 Indiana already outworked Chicago once — the Bulls need to come in with playoff energy, rebound from the Lakers loss, and take it PERSONAL 😤🏀

Should the Bulls be buyers, sellers, or stay patient? 🤔
