NBA rumors reveal why the Chicago Bulls failed to acquire Yves Missi from the New Orleans Pelicans at the trade deadline.

Here we will look at and discuss the biggest mistake that the Chicago Bulls made at the 2026 NBA trade deadline.

Joining Sunday's trade felt like a step in the right direction, as all signs point to the Bulls leaning toward developing their young core.

When the buzzer finally sounded, the Bulls had executed seven trades and parted with eight players: Jevon Carter (who was waived), Ayo Dosunmu, Kevin Huerter, Emanuel Miller, Julian Phillips, Dalen Terry, Nikola Vučević and Coby White.

The Bulls already wasted precious time that they should have been spending on roster-building and player development. They aren't going to get it back, either.

Chicago added seven new players at the trade deadline, most of them guards. Can Anfernee Simons, Collin Sexton and others find a home?

It looked like laundry day across the league following the NBA trade deadline, including for seven new members of the Chicago Bulls.

The Lakers and Bulls will be among the bidders for Jazz star Walker Kessler, but Utah will still control the process.
