Mr. Graham explaining why the #Bulls decided to trade away their second round picks last night (source @thescorechicago)

First time I’m seeing the front office be open like this. Shoutout to Mr. Graham and this just increases my trust with his decision.

Chicago #Bulls' grades for the last 72 hours:

No. 4 Caleb Wilson [A+]
No. 15 Dailyn Swain [B-]
No. 38 Braden Smith traded to Indiana [C+]
No. 56 traded to Lakers for cash [B]
Acquired Nicolas Claxton for (basically) free [A-]
Giannis leaves for Miami [A+🤣]

Overall grade: (A)

[Jonathan Mathew @Jon_Mathew23]

I saw the notification and got pretty excited with the draft selection of Braden Smith and what he could bring to the #Bulls. But seeing what was given in return, I can see why they did what they did. Intrested to see what they do with all the incoming cash options.

[Jonathan Mathew @Jon_Mathew23]

With the two trades that went down today. The Chicago #Bulls do not currently own any picks for the second round today.

No. 38 selected Purude garud Braden Smith, then traded to Indiana for Kam Jones and future swaps w/ cash

No. 56 traded to the Lakers for Cash

[Jonathan Mathew @Jon_Mathew23]

Time to pull an all-nighter and just watch some Caleb Wilson and Dailyn Swain highlights! I can't wait for the season opener, LETS GO!!

[Jonathan Mathew @Jon_Mathew23]

Recap of the last 24 hrs for the #Bulls:

- Acquired Nicolas Claxton on a $20 million contract for FREE
- Drafted F 6'10 Caleb Wilson & 6'8 G Dailyn Swain
- Still have two more 2nd round picks
- Approx. $30 million in cap to spend in free agency

Can't complain about that

[Jonathan Mathew @Jon_Mathew23]

🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: With the No. 15 overall pick, the
@chicagobulls select Texas Guard Dailyn Swain.

This was definitely unexpected, but exciting. With how explosive and aggressive Swain attacks the basket, Chicago is building its identity. Welcome to Chicago, Dailyn! #NBADraft

[Jonathan Mathew @Jon_Mathew23]

Aday Mara…TO OKC…oh boyyyy the Thunder are about to be even more scarier 😳 #NBADraft2026

[Chicago Bulls @chicagobulls]

It's official: Caleb Wilson is a Chicago Bull!

[Jonathan Mathew @Jon_Mathew23]

The first #Illini is off the board, @KeatonW34 has been drafted 5th overall by the Los Angeles Clippers.

He becomes the first Illini basketball player since Deron Williams (3rd, 2005) to be selected within the top 5. This is Illinois HC Brad Underwood's highest-drafted player.

[Jonathan Mathew @Jon_Mathew23]

🚨IT'S OFFICIAL: With the No. 4 overall pick, the @chicagobulls select UNC Forward Caleb Wilson.

Welcome to Chicago @CalebWilson2025!

LETS GO!! THE NEW BULLS ERA HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN! #Bulls #NBADraft2026

[Jonathan Mathew @Jon_Mathew23]

Will also be looking forward to seeing where #Illini Keaton Wagler, Kylan Boswell, and Ben Humrichous land in the next 48 hours.

[Jonathan Mathew @Jon_Mathew23]

It is the greatest day of the year....DRAFT DAY!!!

@ShamsCharania GO GET YOUR BAG DOSSS!! Hyped to see this notification.

Sad he won’t return home but will still celebrate the well deserved contract #ILL✌️

[Jonathan Mathew @Jon_Mathew23]

@ShamsCharania Miami, what are you doing??? #Bucks gets all these young players These players and the 13th pick, while keeping the 10th pick too. WOW. I applaud the Bucks for this W trade.

I know it’s Giannis, but #Heat practically just gave up their life savings, bad move by Miami.

[Jonathan Mathew @Jon_Mathew23]

Mr. Graham, BRAVO! Putting your name in the conversation and getting a young athletic center The #ChicagoBulls have been needing…FOR FREEEE!!! With draft day coming soon….the #Bulls might be winning the offseason in the next 24 Hours.

WE SO BACK CHICAGOOO

[Jonathan Mathew @Jon_Mathew23]

That is if he makes the decision to go in the draft and not to college by the end of the week. Deadline for his decision is June 13. So it will definitely be something to watch for this coming weekend

[Jonathan Mathew @Jon_Mathew23]

If I’m the Bulls, I would be paying very close attention to 18 yr old Center Luigi Suigo from Italy.
7+ foot center who is an all around scorer and rebounder. Still some areas to develop defensively. But this is the type of player the Bulls need in this rebuild! #Bulls #NBADraft

[Jonathan Mathew @Jon_Mathew23]

@Sleeper_Hoops @BrettSiegelNBA @SleeperChicago @BullsLead @BullsMuse_ @SleeperWizards Yesss…at least they are trying and not settling. Good signs from Mr. Graham
