CHGO Chicago Bulls Podcast

Show Notes

Happy Monday! The CHGO Bulls crew get into the big news that 17-year-vet Taj Gibson is retiring from the NBA and is joing the Chicago Bulls coaching staff. We'll discuss what this means for team and what Taj Gibson the player means to Bulls Nation. We will also discuss the report that the NBA has increased the salary cap for the upcoming season. What does this mean for the league and more importantly, what does this mean for the Chicago Bulls? Also, we get into reports that the Bulls had interest in Jonathan Kuminga but would not adhere to his demands to start and be the closer in close games. Are they in the position to be able to turn down talent like Kuminga? Plus, the Memphis Grizzlies have to make roster cuts after their recent trade with the New Orleans Pelicans. Should the Bulls be interested in any of the players that may be cut? Should they have a focus on D’Angelo Russell if the Grizzlies decide to let him go? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
