Last night, the Chicago Bulls were the subject of some genuinely positive news, taking a step forward in their search for a new front office. They’ve officially shortlisted six candidates who are expected to be interviewed soon, and with any luck, we’ll have more updates to break in the coming days… hopefully the good kind.
But there’s also some lighter, more fun stuff to get into. Josh Giddey is back home in Australia for the offseason, making a few moves and even popping up in a poker tournament, which, let’s be honest, is a word that tends to give the NBA a bit of PTSD. On top of that, there’s fresh information around the NBA Draft Lottery odds and more to dive into.
Let’s talk Bulls basketball.
© David Banks-Imagn Images Josh Giddey, despite playing the fewest games since his rookie season, still put up the best numbers of his career. Flirting with triple-double averages at just 23 years old, he’s right on the verge of an All-Star caliber season. Pair that with his international appeal, and you’ve got a global star in the making. And that’s exactly what Puma is betting on. Puma clearly loves their tall, playmaking guards, they’ve already built a strong lineup with Tyrese Haliburton and LaMelo Ball. After signing a multi-year deal in 2025, Giddey could very well be next in line to join them with his own signature shoe. In a social media teaser with Puma, a short clip, something like a “What’s in My Bag?” video, showed Giddey almost pulling out a shoe, only to put it right back.“I’ve got one more thing in my bag,” Giddey said. “We’ll save this one for later actually.”
It almost certainly points toward a signature shoe, especially with another breakout season looking like it’s on the horizon. He is also set to play in a poker tournament back home in Australia, the Aussie Millions, and in the lead-up, he made a radio appearance to promote his involvement while also reflecting on the past season. You can breathe, Bulls fans, this doesn’t feel like a Chauncey Billups situation at all. If anything, it comes across more like a brand-driven appearance than anything serious. Still, the word poker, especially after what unfolded at the start of the season, is always going to make people stop, look, and listen a little more closely. Giddey spoke about the challenges surrounding the trade deadline, noting how a complete roster shift became a real roadblock to building consistency and success. He also opened up about what it means to be the franchise guard in a market like the Chicago Bulls.“In a big city like Chicago, there is a lot of external noise and pressure,” Giddey said. “I’ve always loved that… Chicago wants to get back to winning, and as a point guard and leader of the team, a lot of it kind of weighs on my shoulders.”
He also reflected on his individual season with the Bulls, acknowledging the leap he made, but questioning how much it truly means without team success.“Stats are one thing. I think they need to accumulate and translate into winning. They’re great and all, but I think if you’re not winning games, what is it really for?”

— SEN 1116 (@1116sen) April 20, 2026 Around the league, some under-the-radar news dropped as former Chicago Bulls forward Mike Dunleavy Jr. quietly signed an extension with the Golden State Warriors recently. There had been some whispers about a potential Bulls reunion, especially with their front office position open, but it looks like that door is now shut. At this point, the six shortlisted names are likely the ones to focus on moving forward.For years faith in Stephen Curry has sustained the Warriors and become something of an organizational reason for being. But at some point flickering hope becomes false hope. Teamed up with @anthonyVslater to break down the uncertain road ahead. t.co/TvafNkXPDb

The Utah Jazz won (something we didn’t hear often this season) their coin flip over the Sacramento Kings, giving them the edge between the 4th and 5th-best odds. Meanwhile, the New Orleans Pelicans, whose pick is owned by the Atlanta Hawks, won their coin toss over the Dallas Mavericks, slotting in ahead for the 7th and 8th-best odds.The following has been released by the NBA. pic.twitter.com/xwSJfpkaf5
