On a new episode of BullsHQ, host Mark Karantzoulis (@mkhoops) is joined by podcaster, writer, and long-time friend of the show, Morten Jensen (@msjnba) to discuss the high-level, strategic approach the Bulls should take into the 2020 NBA Draft. Discussed in detail, Mark and Morten ponder the legitimacy of a 'best player approach' if said player is a traditional big man; whether the Bulls are actually in a good position with the No. 4 pick; if there's more validity in trading up, down, or out of the No. 4 position; if it makes any sense to trade Lauri Markkanen at the draft for a smaller, more versatile combo forward. Also on the show, some a conversation on the coaching search now that former OKC Thunder coach Billy Donovan has been linked to the Bulls head coaching position, and why a coach like Donovan makes more sense for the Bulls than other first-time candidates.

On a new episode of BullsHQ, hosts Mark Karantzoulis (@mkhoops) and Fred Pfeiffer (@cbefred) try to make sense of the evolving COVID-19 pandemic that has put the world on pause, including the 2019-20 NBA season. With the NBA season suspended until further notice, Mark and Fred wonder if this is the last we've seen of the Bulls this season, and if so, what does this mean going forward? Do we have enough information to evaluate the young core as a collective? Have we seen enough of Zach LaVine and Coby White together to know how that impacts any draft and free agent decisions? Will potentially losing the final 17 games of the season alter any of the proposed changes that may occur with the front office and coaching staff? For that and more, tune into BullsHQ.

The gap between Jim Boylen and opponent coaching, and his odd decision to shorten his rotation to eight players Zach LaVine's 35 points against the Celtics, and if his right role is to be a primary offensive option Is Coby White forming bad habits by being allowed to gun off the bench with reckless abandon?

On a new episode of BullsHQ, host Mark Karantzoulis (@mkhoops) is joined by Fred Pfeiffer (@cbefred) to discuss yet another dominant Bulls win against a very bad Atlanta Hawks. By thumping the Hawks, the Bulls have now jumped up to 4th on defense this season. Mark and Fred discuss the validity of that ranking, if it is true reflection of team's skill and scheme, or more so related to their light schedule. Also on the show, Mark and Fred talk Wendell Carter and his improved (?) jump shot, whether Lauri Markkanen's improved play throughout December is enough to justify faith in his ceiling, where Markkanen ranks in comparison to his contemporaries from the 2017 draft, reports of the Los Angeles Clippers willing to trade for Thad Young, and what the Bulls should be doing at the deadline with Kris Dunn.

On a new episode of BullsHQ, host Mark Karantzoulis (@mkhoops) is joined by you, the listener, to go over a very strange weekend of Bulls basketball. Despite the Bulls having an impressive win against the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday, only a night earlier, the team had arguably its worst loss of the season to the Charlotte Hornets, forcing vice president John Paxson to face the media. In his address, he signalled no change and did little to reassure fans of the future of this team. Rightfully so, Bulls fans remained disappointed, prompting Mark to field calls from listeners to discuss the state of the franchise, the key reasons why fans are outraged, including ownership, the job security of management and coach Jim Boylen, and so much more.

On a new episode of BullsHQ, host Mark Karantzoulis (@mkhoops) is joined by Fred Pfeiffer (@cbefred) to discuss a set of competitive losses to the Miami Heat and Toronto Raptors. But after dropping both games and falling to 8-17 on the season, do these moral victories even matter? Mark and Fred discuss this notion, as well as focusing on the late-game execution that has cost the Bulls in these games, the roster construction and if it has played it part in a disappointing start to the season, Jim Boylen and his rotations, the surprising play (for some) of Denzel Valentine, the United Center looking more empty each game, and so much more.
