Cody Westerlund

Here's what I expect.

And there's no doubt, add as much talent as you can.

And remind me, too, later in the interview, I want to get to a point that I think is a better tell for the Bryson Graham era than the draft.

I think his free agency is a part of that.

But as it pertains to the draft...

Yes, I expect him.

If there's two 6'11 forwards he gets at 4'15", same player profile, that's fine with him because this is certainly going to be a 3-4 year rebuild, I think, in his mind.

He almost ends every answer with that, too.

Bryson Graham saying, there's a lot of work to do.

This is a step in layering it.

You mentioned the word refreshing earlier, I think.

To me, one of the most refreshing parts so far for him is just he seems to have a realistic grasp of how big the challenge is.

He's not coming in here, and to go back to the point I made a little earlier, I think free agency ties to this.

The Bulls could have upward of $60 million in cap space worldwide.

What does he do with that cap space?

To me, it doesn't feel like he's trying to add a ton of immediate help.

And I think the most important thing he could do this offseason would be to use some significant portion of that cap space, whether it's $20 million, $30 million.

It doesn't have to be all $60 million.

but take on a bad contract to get a future asset in the draft.

You'd love a first-round pick in the future, but sometimes a bad contract can also come with a good young player attached to it.
