Then we discuss Noa Essengue's Summer League and why he will probably not play much this upcoming season. We shift into the latest on Josh Giddey's contract negotiations. Are we confident the Bulls can re-sign Giddey at a favorable number? Or can the Bulls afford to not have Giddey as a piece in the long-term? We wrap the episode trying to figure out how Patrick Williams can turn things around going forward and the Bulls place in the Eastern Conference.

Then we move into Josh Giddey's contract negotiations and wonder if the Bulls front office is finally figuring out the right way to negotiate contracts.

Then we transition into Collin Murray-Boyles, as Matt explains why Swish Theory has him rated so high. We also touch base on Derik Queen and whether he can overcome the defensive concerns surrounding his game. We also discuss Noa Essengue, Rasheer Fleming, Egor Demin, and 2nd round prospects that could be on the Bulls radar next week.
