What direction are the Bulls heading towards?
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.
Bye. Bye. Bye.
Rahimi Harrison-Grody, 10-2 on 104.3 The Score.
Danny, how are you?
I just taped an interview with Cooper DeGene of the Philadelphia Eagles. I just enjoy that his podcast is called Exciting Mics, and it's him and Reed Blankenship off of the Exciting Whites meme.
Dubbed the Exciting Whites of the Philadelphia Eagles, if you would like to report that. That is their name.
Okay, there you go. What did I say their names are? The Exciting Whites. You know, I asked if he saw himself as an inspirational figure to young white people who want to grow up and be cornerbacks.
If you give us one black coach, just one, we're going to give y'all two white cornerbacks.
That is a great meme. The wine store meme.
I prefer the exotic whites over the exciting whites, but I hear you.
Hey, I'm Joe Exotic. Otherwise known as the Tiger King. The gun cane redneck with a mohawk.
Cooper flag with a dunk. Exciting lights. Like, it is something. I could have done 10 minutes with Cooper just on excitement. Like, why hasn't Riley Moss been on your podcast? Like, is Jason Sehorne a mentor?
I was about to say, shout out to Jason Sehorne and Merrill Hodge.
He's the first white defensive back to have a sack in the NFL since Jason Sehorne. I have a research department. They looked that up. It's been over 20 years since a white corner got a sack. New white people. You can't scare these white people. I tried.
Roll up on them. Boo! What the hell is wrong with you? Layla Rahimi. Marshall Harris. Mark Grody. Middays 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 104.3. The Score.
104.3 The Score it is. This is Rahimi Harris and Brody. And we are trying to make sense of not just Super Bowl week, but the trade deadline, which is today in the NBA. Layla Rahimi and Marshall Harris are with you. Tyler Biederbaugh producing the fabulous open. Ray Diaz, Brandon Fryer, producer and helping us out as well. And... Before we get to the Jason Sehorne reference, there was a Mac McClung reference in there that I mentioned. And guess who's probably playing tonight for the Bulls? It called up. Mac McClung? Is it Mac McClung? That's Mr. Dunk contest to you.
Three-time reigning dunk champion, not defending, I guess, because he won't be defending his dunk championship this year. He's already said, I'm opting out.
Which is ridiculous, by the way.
I want to focus on real basketball.
If you're in the G League and there's even a question that you can compete in the dunk contest, then you should be forced to compete in the dunk contest.
You're too good, Mac. We need your dunks. Have you seen the skepticism and criticism we've gotten each and every year since, you know, all the dunker dunkers said they don't want to do it anymore?
Yeah, well, I mean... How bad is it when the dude in the G League is opting out? And that's not disrespect to Mac. That's just letting you know what the priorities are.
Yeah, Mac needed that money. Let's be honest.
He's good at it, too.
He's very good at it. I wonder, like, at what age do you stop being as good of a dunker? Maybe he's just like, man, that's a lot of wear and tear on my knees.
I think it's when Zach Levine probably stopped dunking as much in the game, which he was even dunking a lot in his last season with the Bulls, you know, last year.
After he got over the knee problem, he's like, look, I'm healthy. Watch this.
Yeah, he was an above-the-rim player.
Good old days, Zach Levine and the glutton of super talented, bright future, early 20s guys, and now everybody's gone.
Everybody's gone. So that's it. Let's use that Zach Levine trade as the example because I feel like that actually is the beginning of this arc.
Okay.
That's the beginning of the transition for the Bulls. And essentially, we asked this question in our pre-show meeting because they're still continuing to make deals.
