Chicago Bulls Sign Norman Powell! Has Chicago's Rebuild OFFICIALLY Changed? | Summer League Preview
If you're looking for the latest Chicago Bulls news, offseason analysis, and Summer League predictions, this episode of The Horns Over Hoops Podcast has you covered. Sal Bass, Scottie B, and Dan Gracey discuss one of the biggest moves of the Bulls' offseason: signing veteran All-Star Norman Powell. The crew debates whether Powell instantly becomes Chicago's best scorer, how much he raises the team's floor, and whether his veteran leadership can accelerate the development of Caleb Wilson, Dailyn Swain, Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis, and the rest of the young core. They also discuss the importance of the Bulls using a team option in Powell's contract and what that says about the direction of the front office. The conversation shifts to the Bulls' rebuild and whether Bryson Graham has successfully changed the franchise's trajectory by addressing major weaknesses through the additions of Norman Powell, Nic Claxton, Caleb Wilson, and improved roster balance. The hosts also debate closing lineups, projected starting five, Summer League expectations, rookie development, and the final roster spot.
