Mike Mulligan

Casey Johnson and I did the By the Horns podcast yesterday for CHSN, and he spoke on possible names as well.

And Austin Brown, a guy that is aging but is well-respected that works for CAA here in Chicago,

could be someone that is a candidate for this Bulls group.

But at the end of the day, we're not sure who those candidates will be for this team.

But I still think that they lean on experience because Reisdorf wants to make sure that this thing is...

is taken care of and and due diligence in terms of the process of hiring the right person but then you have to really get someone that has been in this uh nba life been in that role for a team that is you know one of the bottom teams in the nba you got to turn around and you need someone in there that knows what they're doing so if we listen to michael reinsdorf and he says they're casting a wide net and hiring this search firm to get things right

If you're casting a wide net, try and get the big fish.

Bob Myers, for me, is a name that is a big fish that would be phenomenal looking at his history with the Golden State Warriors and what he was able to do with that team and keeping them together, especially understanding how they were ahead of trends in terms of three-point shooting.

Of course, with the NBA TV deal that was on the horizon that allowed them to get a superstar like Kevin Durant to continue on their dynasty over there in Oakland.

So you want to try and find someone that understands the game, that is ahead of trends, and can get this team back to where it needs to be, where it deserves to be.

And that's one of the best teams in the NBA.

How long does this project take in your mind?

Well, Mully, the lottery has made sense.

So you got to get lucky.

It's not your friend.

You got to get lucky, right?

I mean, you definitely have to do that.

But also with Billy Donovan and him having his end of season meeting with the Reinsdorf family and the Bulls front office, I think the timeline for them is...

works in their favor.

And I say that because you get ahead of things instead of waiting for the end of the season to have the dismissals of Arturis Konishevis and Mark Eversley.
