I got five.
It's time for Five On It. Rahimi Harrison-Roney. Bring you five topics on their minds today. On 104.3 The Score.
What sports topics are highlighted in the Five On It segment?
I got five on it.
Number one. During his post-trade deadline address, Bulls executive vice president of basketball operations, Arturis Karnaschovas, refused to say that the team is rebuilding, instead calling it, quote, a stage that we're in. Are you buying the idea that the Bulls are not in rebuild mode?
You know what? Everybody's in a stage that they're in. But sometimes those stages are different things. It's okay to say rebuild. It would make it all make sense. Then we'd be like, oh, you're tearing it down. What are you going to build up? What did Ben Johnson say? Strip it down to the studs. He had players that were established, though, on his team and stuff. Point being, though, it gives you leeway. It just does. If the rebuild doesn't work, at least you tried. If you're not doing any of it... We're all just in stages we're in. Fair to middling. That's what I call it. Fair to middling. But, you know, it gets the accent gets a little more extreme.
Are the Chicago Bulls really not in rebuild mode?
We've been told that the Southern accents are even more extreme on FM. I'm really loving all the experimentation going on. But it's okay to say you're in a rebuild stage. You got nine second-round picks, or in the words of Joe Calley, 30. You've decided that draft picks are currency. Do you know why? Because you need more players. So I don't know if it's a whole rebuild, but it's okay to say rebuild. The Sixers spent years in the process of The process was never fully realized. The NBA cut the process off. But it's okay. People do it all the time. They rebuild like Oklahoma City did and voila.
Did they actually ever say the word rebuild, though, in the midst of it? I don't know.
And the Oklahoma City fan base is not one to, like, demand answers like that. Yeah. But at the same time, they didn't really have to. They traded away Paul George at the time, so you knew what they were doing. But then they got a bunch of first-rounders and stuff. Wow, Matt Spiegel just walked into our building wearing a suit.
Oh, boy.
Yeah, dressed up Matt Spiegel. Now I'm all nosy. I want to know what he's doing. I bet he'll tell us later.
Hope everybody's okay.
No, it might just be that he's going over to Fox or something to be on their air. Okay. But yeah, so I... No, I'm not buying that you're not in a rebuild mode because your actions are different now. Give me McSignals.
I guess I'm okay at this point with the Bulls not using the word rebuild because it's just become a game over the years with all franchises. They know that we know that they know it's a rebuild or it's just something drastic. Wink. Yeah, I think that's the point to which it has gotten like what percentage like show me the the front office guy or gal that has ever uttered or used the word rebuild for some reason.
Rick Hahn said rebuild. He called it that.
Did he call it that early? He said actually said we are we are we are now going to do a rebuild.
I mean, I don't know. I think he just referred to it as the rebuild.
Yeah. Well, good for Rick. Good for Rick. I like that they're doing it. I like that they're breaking it down. I just don't know if they're the guys to build it back up. The reason I'm hesitating on Rebuild is because they do have a lot of money. They do have a lot of resources. It's all there. So if they really wanted to, they could. And I understand we're not sitting here referencing the great class of free agents that exists. Who knows what happens with Giannis in the offseason. So I believe... They are thinking about the possibility of getting good quickly if they can with the resources that they have. So I'm mixed a little bit myself.
Yes. When you talked it through, you didn't really come to a conclusion.
About whether or not they're in a rebuild? Mm-hmm. I don't think they think they are.
I think that's fair.
Yeah. I don't think they think they are. So I, yeah. Number two.
We solved nothing.
That's one down.
Dang it.
In the first hour of this very show, we played this season-defining highlight from Fox, and it's so nice, we're going to hear it twice.
