The Chicago Bulls showed real effort, ball movement, and defensive communication against Houston — and it left one big question hanging in the air: why don’t they play like that every night? 🤔

On today’s Chicago Bulls Central, host Haize breaks down what that performance says about this roster, what it exposes about Billy Donovan’s coaching, and why meaningful change still feels so hard for this franchise.

We also dive into new trade rumors around Isaac Okoro, why the Lakers are calling, what a realistic return could look like, and why the Bulls may end up moving role players instead of stars at the deadline.

Plus: what the league’s interest in Tre Jones, Jalen Smith, and Okoro tells us about the Bulls’ real trade market — and a full Jazz vs Bulls preview with keys to avoid another letdown.

🔴 Topics include:

Why effort and execution fluctuate so wildly

Billy Donovan’s long-term ceiling as a coach

Okoro to Lakers? What makes sense for Chicago

Why low-cost contracts have more value than expirings

Jazz vs Bulls preview & must-win energy check
