Chicago Bulls shock the league with a 3-0 start, but can depth alone carry them to contention? Haize and Pat the Designer examine whether GM Arturas Karnisovas's controversial theory about needing 8-10 good players to compete holds water, drawing parallels to the 2012-13 Denver Nuggets' 58-win season built on balance rather than star power. The hosts break down the Bulls' path to becoming a legitimate free agent destination in summer 2026 with $110 million in cap space, addressing Chicago's surprising reputation problem around the league and what it takes to attract stars like Jalen Duren or Jonathan Kuminga. The conversation heats up over whether the Bulls should aggressively trade up in the loaded 2026 draft class—even if it means moving Matas Buzelis—to land a franchise-altering talent like Cameron Boozer. Tune in for an honest assessment of the Bulls' roster construction, AK's draft misses, and the franchise's championship timeline.  Call or text the show: (331) 240-1180 Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…  🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOBulls?sid=YouTube Locked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBA  Follow Locked On Bulls on TwitterLocked On Bulls: https://twitter.com/LockedOnBullsHaize: https://twitter.com/CEOHaizePat: https://twitter.com/PatTheDesigner Support us by supporting our sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors:DoorDashNext time someone goes off for 50, use promo code  NBA50  the next day to get 50% off on DoorDash with DashPass — plus your shot at the Bag Drop.  DashPass members only. 50% off up to $10 the day after a 50-point game with promo code.
