Frequently Asked Questions
Who did the Bulls fire from their front office this offseason?
The Bulls dismissed Arturas Karnisovas and his front office team after his seven-year tenure that ended with a disappointing trade deadline where they failed to acquire top-tier draft capital or blue-chip prospects.
How did the Bulls get a second first-round pick in the 2026 NBA Draft?
The Bulls gained Portland's first-round pick when the Trail Blazers made the playoffs after beating the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night. Since Portland will draft 15th or higher, Chicago owns their top-14 protected pick.
Where is Aday Mara projected to be drafted in mock drafts?
Mara has been mocked anywhere from 14th to 30th in the first round over the last several months. His draft stock has risen recently due to his strong performance during Michigan's deep March Madness tournament run.
Should the Bulls draft Aday Mara at pick 9 or wait until pick 15?
The debate is whether Chicago should take Mara at nine to guarantee getting him or risk waiting until 15 where he might still be available. Taking him at nine would be considered a reach by many, but waiting involves the risk of another team selecting him first.
Why do Bulls fans want the team to draft a center like Aday Mara?
Fans want a center because there's a massive void at the position that aligns with the timelines of Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis. The team needs an anchor in the middle for their rebuilding process.
