It’s been a minute since I’ve opened up about anything personal — mostly because, let’s be real, Coby White Trade you didn’t click on this link for that kind of content. But another reason? Life has just been wild . And honestly, I’ve found myself clinging to Chicago Bulls offseason chatter like it’s a life raft.
Yeah, I know… must be something wrong with me.
Anyway, the good kind of busy-ness has taken over my life lately. My wife and I have been prepping for a pretty big move — back to Chicago, no less. For the past few years, we’ve been living in Milwaukee (I know, scandalous). We made the move north when she landed a solid job up there. Then, when an even better opportunity came knocking back down I-94, well… we packed our bags again.
In 48 hours, I’ll officially be within walking distance of the House That Jordan Built. I’m not saying I regret our time in Wisconsin — far from it. Milwaukee treated us right. Great food, killer beer scene, and some unforgettable friends. But being able to scream at the TV alongside fellow Bears fans after Caleb Williams gets sacked for the fifth time? Yeah, that’s home.
And yes, I might look a little too excited walking around Lincoln Park with a grin that borders on unsettling. Don’t worry — it’s just joy.
Derrick Rose’s Jersey Retirement Isn’t Just About Him
Now that I’m back in town, I’m extra pumped for what’s coming up with the Bulls — especially the upcoming jersey retirement ceremony for Derrick Rose.
Rose recently attended the French Open and chatted with the TNT crew, where he got real about what this moment means to him.
“It’s going to be an honor,” Rose said. “But it’s not just about me. It’s about everyone.”
He went on to talk about how growing up in Chicago shaped him, how the city held him to a standard long before the NBA ever did, and how he always wanted to make them proud. He emphasized that this day isn’t just his — it belongs to every kid who rushed home to watch him play, every teammate, coach, and fan who supported him through the ups and downs.
Even now, Rose continues to give back. Whether it’s handing out flowers at the United Center or helping set up a community garden in Englewood, he’s stayed connected to the people. That’s why so many of us love him — not just for what he did on the court, but for how he carried himself off of it.
Coby White’s Trade Value: High or Overhyped?
Switching gears, all signs point to Coby White becoming a hot topic in trade talks over the next few months.
For starters, he hasn’t signed an extension yet, which means he’s set to hit unrestricted free agency after the 2025–26 season. While I think he’d prefer to stay with the Bulls, his future here depends a lot on how this team performs this year.
If things don’t go the way we’re hoping, can anyone really blame him for looking elsewhere?
That’s why the Bulls may want to start thinking about moving him sooner rather than later. The longer they wait, the more risk they take on — especially if White walks for nothing next summer.
So, what’s he actually worth right now?
While many fans see him as the Bulls’ top trade chip, teams considering a deal will have to factor in the fact that he could leave in a year. If Chicago wanted to maximize his value, last February’s trade deadline might’ve been their best shot.
Still, that doesn’t mean there won’t be interest this summer. Depending on how he starts the season, the Bulls could either get a decent return now or hold onto him and hope he replicates last year’s late-season form. If he does, they might just have an All-Star-caliber player worth keeping around.
Bulls’ Offseason Strategy Is Key
This is a pivotal moment for the Bulls. With Rose’s legacy being honored and questions swirling around White’s future, Chicago fans are watching closely.
The front office has tough decisions ahead — especially if they want to avoid repeating past mistakes, like letting Tom Thibodeau walk away. His tenure with both the Bulls and Knicks ended similarly, but history shows we should be careful what we wish for.
As for me? I’m just happy to be back in the city, surrounded by friends, family, and yes… plenty of Bulls drama.
