CHGO's Big Dave returns to Bulls Gold as we record "live" during NBA Free Agency. We start with our reactions to the Bulls drafting Noa Essengue 12th overall and discuss his upside and whether the Bulls are in position to maximize his talent. 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. We go into the Lonzo Ball for Isaac Okoro trade, and Dave gives us some optimism for the newest Bull. We also wonder why the Bulls continue to disregard draft capital in trade discussions. We then discuss if Jonathan Kuminga is a good fit for the team. Then we wrap the show with our best pitch to the Bulls to not trade Ayo Dosunmu. 

Greg and Aldo try to make sense over the results of an inquiry on whether the NFL colluded in limiting the amount guaranteed contracts to players.

Swish Theory's Matt Powers joins us for draft discussion a week out from the big night. We navigate through Swish Theory's Big Board with him, starting with Ace Bailey, and what the news of his drop in value could mean for a team like the Bulls. 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. 

Greg and Aldo discuss the positives the Bears have delivered over the past several months. But, before that Greg has some news on the second round draft picks still un-signed by the Bears and why.

Aldo, the Tooch and Jeff Willis talk about multiple Chicago Bears topics before Jeff Agrest of the Chicago Sun-Times joins them to talk about sports media.

There's more draft discussion 14 days out. We start with a roundup of the recent draft rumors, centering around the Bulls interest in Egor Demin. We go through some of the players we've settled on at the top of our boards. Then we wonder if there's a more coveted prospect who could end up falling on draft night to the Bulls. We also get into the Bulls interest in Drake Powell and if it foreshadows a potential trade down scenario. We wrap with a discussion on the Indiana Pacers and if their playoff run can be replicated going forward. 

Greg shares his thoughts about mandatory mini-camp, the Packers releasing Jaire Alexander and much more.

Greg Gabriel opens the show talking about his family's involvement in the military. Then he and Aldo talk football.

No Ceilings' Corey Tulaba returns to Bulls Gold to discuss the 2025 NBA Draft. Corey explains why this is still a strong draft and why the Bulls still have a good range of prospects available to them at 12. We discuss why Thomas Sorber has a play style that's eerily familiar to Bulls fans. Corey breaks down why the defensive concerns of Derik Queen are overblown and how he can succeed at the next level. Could Kasparas Jakučionis the next Tyrese Haliburton type of steal? The guys then try to determine which of the prospects is an "AK Guy", and Corey has an easy answer. We close the show with Corey's thoughts on the Bulls current situation and what he's looking to see from the team going forward. 

Greg talks about OTAs, but first he spoke with Joe Thuney's agent and shares some news on the lineman's new contract extension, and opines on the hubbub over the Caleb Williams story.
