Kyle Lowry will sign a 1-day contract with Toronto to retire as a Raptor, per @michaelgrange

[Rob McGuire @RobQlder]

@BawlSports Very true, even if you don't agree with every move he has made, you can at least see and appreciate the logic behind the decisions. I really think the Bulls have found themselves an excellent executive in Bryson Graham

[Rob McGuire @RobQlder]

@BawlSports Bryson Graham ain't perfect but he seems pretty damn good. Lightyears ahead of AK, that much is certain.

[Rob McGuire @RobQlder]

@Ramina1690 The #Bulls might be low on wins, but I am confident this roster and with Splitter as coach they will be high on developing young talent. Gotta give a plan like this a few years to play out, but it looks good to me.

[Rob McGuire @RobQlder]

Hell yeah! Bryson Graham is all good with me, keep cookin 🔥🏀🧑‍🍳👀🔴

[See Red Fred @cbefred]

I’m all-in on the BG moves. To the doubters: who did you want instead? Mitchell Robinson? Dean Wade? Quentin Grimes on long-term, overpriced deals?

The Bulls added:
✅ Norm Powell — an All-Star this past season.
✅ Nic Claxton — a 27-year-old elite rim protector on a reasonable contract.
✅ Caleb Wilson & Swain in the draft — two exciting young pieces with real upside.

This roster is better today, more balanced, and still has flexibility for the future. We’re cooking with gas. Get on board. LFG. 🔥🐂 #BullsNation

[Michael Hultman @TheHultmanBeat]

The #Bulls have the $9.4M midlevel exception available for another free agent.

But keep in mind that sexton and Simons are free agents. (S&T?)

[Rob McGuire @RobQlder]

Exactly! #Bulls fans gotta chill. You need guys like Powell and Claxton to provide an environment where young players can learn the NBA game and improve their skills. I assure you it would not be good for Caleb Wilson's development to surround him with zero talent for a year.

[Ross Pins @chisportsross]

Really like the Powell signing and again, I think the 2nd round stuff gave us bad vibes. overall, these are fine moves for a team at the start of a rebuild. No long term deals, got some shooting, still have some money left. Baby steps, but steps nonetheless.

@TeriRadichel Claude: Great news, Fable is back!
Me: hey why is Opus suddenly annoyingly dumber and periodically unavailable due to server-side "overload" 🤔

[Rob McGuire @RobQlder]

@ZenMasterMike So far a great offseason from Bryson Graham. Splitter looks like a good fit for a young team, added Claxton + Powell on reasonable deals, have some draft picks to develop, and the two-way spots are being used to evaluate young players. #Bulls are moving in the right direction

[Michael Walton II @ZenMasterMike]

Overall I liked the Bulls offseason…

Would’ve preferred a more available backup center than Zach Collins, and I trust Graham’s evaluation but the 2nd round pick stuff did annoy me…

But adding an elite shooter coming off an All-Star yr, getting Claxton for nothing

Good stuff

[Rob McGuire @RobQlder]

lol Fable is back.... meanwhile I haven't been able to use Opus for 20 minutes
