Jason and Ricky discuss another crazy week, which featured both a huge implosion (vs. Thunder) and a huge comeback (vs. Wizards). We highlight the improved play of Zach LaVine, Lauri Markkanen and Kris Dunn and how they've helped make the Bulls more competitive of late, but we still wonder just what the ceiling is for this core of players.

Jason returns to Cash Considerations after an episode off to talk with Ricky about another eventful week of Chicago Bulls Basketball. The week featured a heartbreaking loss (vs. Raptors), an offensive explosion (vs. Hawks), offensive ineptitude (vs. Hornets) and a thrilling win (vs. Clippers) all in one. But most notably, John Paxson talked to select members of Bulls media, and he confirmed that Jim Boylen isn't going anywhere. Jason and Ricky recap Paxson's comments and lament the disappointing state of the team. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Cash Considerations is back to talk about an absolutely wild week of Chicago Bulls Basketball. The Bulls went 2-2 this past week and capped it off with a thrilling 116-115 victory over the Hornets in which Zach LaVine went for a career-high 49 points and hit 13 3-pointers, including the game-winner in the last second to cap off a furious eight-point comeback in the final minute. This explosion came a night after Jim Boylen yanked LaVine due to mistakes in an ugly loss to the Miami Heat, and after the shooting guard had really struggled earlier in the week against the Milwaukee Bucks and Detroit Pistons. Jason and Ricky talk about the Zach LaVine Experience, the LaVine-Boylen beef, Lauri Markkanen's continued struggles, the future of the Bulls' rebuild and much more. Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of Cash Considerations, Jason and Ricky are joined by The Athletic's Stephen Noh to talk about another disappointing week for the Chicago Bulls. While Coby White got the Bulls' week off to a good start with a historic performance against the Knicks, they then faltered in a hard-fought loss to the Bucks and then against a shorthanded Nets team. We highlight the biggest issues with Jim Boylen's coaching, as well as the disappointing play of Zach LaVine and Lauri Markkanen. We do hit on some positives in White's scoring explosions and the progression of Wendell Carter Jr., despite the misuse of the young big man.Thanks to our partner UNTUCKit.
