Warriors CALL Bulls About Jalen Smith?! + 84-Point Half EXPOSES Chicago’s Biggest Problem

**The Golden State Warriors have reportedly contacted the Chicago Bulls about Jalen Smith. Is it time for Bryson Graham to sell high? 👀🐂**

On today’s **Locked On Bulls**, Haize and Pat The Designer react to reported Warriors interest in Smith, who has averaged **12.1 points and 8.6 rebounds** while filling in for Nic Claxton. Would a protected first-round pick be enough to move one of Chicago’s most dependable players, or should the Bulls keep developing his value?

Then the guys tackle Chicago’s disastrous loss to New York. The Knicks scored **84 points in the first half**, led by Jalen Brunson outscoring the entire Bulls team by himself in the opening quarter. Even more concerning, Chicago has **not led after the first quarter in any of its first eight games**.

Is the starting lineup fundamentally broken, and should Tiago Splitter make a change now?

Plus, **Caleb Wilson had his worst game of the season**, scoring just five points before sitting for the remainder of the night after the third quarter. Meanwhile, Jaylin Sellers scored 14 points and knocked down four threes, while Patrick Williams finally returned to the rotation.

**Topics include:** Jalen Smith trade talks, Warriors-Bulls possibilities, Chicago’s defensive collapse, starting-lineup changes, Caleb Wilson’s first major rookie struggle, Jaylin Sellers earning more minutes, and whether Tiago’s constantly changing rotations are helping or hurting development.
