Are the Bulls limiting their executive search by supporting Billy Donovan?
This hour is brought to you by Cars for Kids. The views and opinions of Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, and Mark Grody should not be taken too seriously. Especially when they give advice. Do not take Marshall's analogies literally. Especially when it comes to Russell Dorsey. The sports thoughts of Rahimi, Harris, and Grody may change at any time. It's just sports. Okay, thanks, bye! I think we need to get to some receipts. I mentioned the draft picks. I mentioned the Patrick Williams contract. We've talked about the tampering briefly. Marshall's got a top three. We don't do the Goodfellas treatment on this show. But you know what I do like? A little sarcastic use of a ballad from the late 90s, Sarah McLaughlin.
I don't know that it's even sarcasm for me because I will never forget these three things I'm about to share with you.
Even if I resolve the anger.
words trade deadline inability to maneuver around the trade deadline in season when your team was either a going nowhere fast which describes the treadmill or i think one of our texters referred to it because you said the stationary bike right yeah the bike to nowhere they called it five seven four the rinds dorfian bike but these four walls they box you in it's
Was there an allowance to be able to do so? Were they allowed? And I think that I'm not making excuses by any means, but were they allowed to trade these guys sooner rather than later?
Taking out the trash, I see. Better late than never. Some people argue this is number one, but it's number two for me.
What are the implications of the Bulls' recent front office changes?
There was a trade that was made between the New Orleans Pelicans and the Atlanta Hawks. The New Orleans Pelicans traded the 23rd pick in last year's draft and an unprotected 2026 first round draft pick to the Atlanta Hawks for the 13th pick, which they used to select Derrick Queen. Now, do you know who picked ahead of the Atlanta Hawks? That would be the Chicago Bulls.
Oh, come on, man. I can't do anything wrong. Nonsense. You do everything wrong.
And that's the part that doesn't make any sense. And frankly, for those who know, it was also a big criticism of the previous front office with Garport Foreman and John Paxson. Oh, holy to bulls, man. Oh, Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Grody. Middays, 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 104.3 The Score. Poor Mario in Hyde Park.
Mario was all of us yesterday.
Mario's just out here trying to see the Bulls try to contend again at some point. Not just be competitive, but actually win in the playoffs.
So he wants the opposite? So he really wants to be Wario is what you're saying?
Wario?
Yeah.
I could see that.
How does Billy Donovan's status affect the Bulls' coaching search?
I could see that being an alter ego for him. Good morning. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score joining you on this Wednesday. And that's where we begin. The Michael Reinsdorf press conference yesterday, he took questions for a half an hour in light of firing Arturis Karnaschovas and Mark Eversley. And I feel like, once again, we talk about the order of operations a lot. It's not just in math problems. I was told there would be no math in this job, and yet there's a lot of math in this job. Order of operations reigns supreme, though, because if you don't follow it, the equation fails. We talk about it a lot in the NFL. When you hear Marshall Harris, the head of the Bulls, the owner or at least the acting owner of the Bulls and Michael Reinsdorf talk about how Billy Donovan has to be a part of this if he wants to remain with the team.
We still don't know that answer entirely yet because the season is still ongoing. And then also his aversion to perhaps getting more assets, a.k.a. tanking. I wonder, are the Bulls preventing themselves from embarking on a successful search already? Because they've eliminated so much of the pool of general manager candidates from the very beginning.
I know you were told there would be no math, Layla, but since you bring up the order of operation, I got to tell you, this isn't inside the brackets. This is inside the parentheses, inside the brackets. That's where Billy Donovan stands right now because he's...
