R.I.P. to a Bulls legend 🙏 So sad to hear of the passing of Bob Love.

“With his No. 10 jersey hanging in the United Center rafters, his on-court achievements are forever etched in history, but Bob’s impact transcended basketball,” the Bulls said in a statement. “He became an inspirational figure and a passionate community ambassador for the Bulls, dedicating himself to charitable causes and uplifting countless lives with his motivational speeches.

“We are profoundly grateful for his enduring contributions and legacy both on and off the court in Chicago.”

Smith, 24, is an athletic, 6-foot-10-inch big man who shot 59 percent in 61 games for the Indiana Pacers last season, including 42.4 percent from 3-point range.

He aligns with the philosophical direction that Bulls management appears to be taking...targeting young players who have already proved they can produce at the NBA level.

While Smith isn’t an elite rim protector, he’s a solid rebounder and shooter and can provide floor spacing for Giddey with his “stretch-four (or five)” ability.

Excited to continue adding young, talented players to the team!

Welcome to Chicago

Thank you you will always be a part of Bulls history. It’s been amazing to watch you play these past few seasons, and appreciate everything you gave to the fans. You left it all on the court, and Chicago embraces that type@of play. 🙏🐐

From :

“The trade delivers the Thunder one of the league’s most coveted role players, a 30-year old guard who GM Sam Presti has long pursued for the Western Conference’s No. 1 seed. Caruso’s arrival could be seen as an addition comparable to the Golden State Warriors acquisition of Andre Iguodala in 2013. Both were 30 years old.

The Bulls have been determined to find a playmaker to replace Lonzo Ball, and Giddey , 21, comes with an All-Star potential that would unlikely be realized with the Thunder because of the playmaking starpower who surrounded him. The Bulls will offer him an opportunity to have the ball in his hands and so much more freedom pass and score.”

STAR WARS DAY: The Force is strong with our young guards. We are looking forward to see them continue to grow in the coming years. There is no try, do or do not…

Wishing you all a happy Star Wars Day. May the 4th be with you!

MOBBER OF THE NIGHT: Woo came to play tonight. He lead the bench in scoring (12 pts), had 3 reb, 3 ast, 2 stl and was 5/6 from the floor. Here’s hoping we bring Javonte back next year as he’s such a valuable piece off the bench! Always appreciate the heart, hustle, and muscle 👏
