The Chicago Bulls have become the NBA's laughingstock in the last week thanks to a historic 56-point loss to the Boston Celtics and a near player mutiny against new head coach Jim Boylen for his obnoxiously old-school ways.

For the first time in three years, Arturas Karnisovas has traded a player. But was it a good trade? The snap judgment is no, as trading Alex Caruso for Josh Giddey straight-up with no picks involved is a bad value play. One silver lining? This potentially means the Bulls are actually going to blow this thing up and rebuild.

The Bulls are off to a shocking 3-2 start to the season after back-to-back 20-point comebacks over the Grizzlies and Magic. While there has been some crazy flukiness and luck involved, the Bulls are establishing a run-and-gun identity that should be fun to watch this season.

Matt Bernhardt of Blog a Bull (@BullsBlogger) joins the pod to talk about the Bulls' disappointing offseason and what it means for the upcoming 2022-23 season. While the Bulls still have upside to improve, they need a lot to go right to make noise in the playoffs, including Lonzo Ball staying healthy and Patrick Williams making a big leap.

Jason and Ricky discuss the Bulls' 4-0 start, their first since the 1996-97 season. While the vibes are mostly great, the near-collapse against the Raptors showed there's plenty of work to be done to improve as the schedule toughens up, especially when it comes to the crunch-time offense. The new acquisitions get a lot of love here, and we also talk about Nikola Vucevic and Patrick Williams needing to be better.

The Chicago Bulls started their 2018-19 regular season against the Philadelphia 76ers, and they got absolutely smoked after a record-breaking first quarter that was actually a lot of fun. Jason and Ricky break down the good and mostly awful of the Bulls' season opener and take a look ahead at the upcoming schedule.

Jason and Ricky discuss the Bulls' dominant victory over the Hawks in the 9/10 play-in game. Chicago put forth an outstanding team performance against an Atlanta team that looked ready for Cancun for much of the night, led by Coby White's career-high 42 points (yes, we're counting it). While Alex Caruso's status is up in the air after Andre Drummond ran into him, the Bulls have a prime opportunity to secure the 8-seed against a Heat team that likely won't have Jimmy Butler available. Bulls/Celtics on deck?

With Bulls Fest going down last weekend, fans actually got to hear from GM Marc Eversley, who addressed anything and everything about the state of the team. The results weren't that inspiring, much like the Bulls themselves, though we do think they will be better than ESPN's rough season projections. Finally, Lonzo Ball addressed his injury and more on a podcast with Trae Young, while also beefing with Stephen A. Smith.

The shorthanded Bulls sandwiched arguably their worst loss of the season against the Pistons with improbable victories over the Pelicans and Cavs, with Onuralp Bitim playing a heroic role in the 2OT win over Cleveland. Jason and Ricky welcome 670 The Score's Cody Westerlund back on the pod to discuss Bitim's breakout game, the Bulls remaining #competitive after their inexcusable trade deadline inactivity and what the future holds for the franchise with Arturas Karnisovas at the helm.
