What is the context of this podcast episode?
This hour 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!
Rahimi Harrison-Grody. 10-2 on 104.3 The Score. Why are we talking about Patrick Williams, Mars Hall?
Denny Avdia, who Bulls fans woke up this morning if they didn't stay up like me. Sleepy Grody and all his friends. I'm Sleepy Grody.
Wake up! Wake up!
He led the Trailblazers to a big win in Phoenix last night in the play-in game that got them the No. 7 seed into the playoffs. He was drafted by the Wizards No. 9 overall in a certain draft in which the Bulls selected Patrick Williams at No. 4. And you know who was shocked that the Bulls took Patrick Williams at No. 4 in that draft? It was Denny Obdiel. Did you think draft night, did you always think it was going to be them or... No, I definitely, everybody thought, the whole world thought Chicago was going to take me at four.
I mean, I'm lost for words. I really am. The whole world thought that that's what was going to happen, and nobody knew who Patrick Williams was except for the Bulls. Hey, I remember when they drafted him.
We're all trying to figure out who he is. Oh, he wasn't a starter, but that's okay. That's all right. Somehow it was justified because he's got an NBA body, and look at this guy. He's going to develop.
It's nothing. I mean, we're friends. We're just friends. Regular friendship development.
Avdija, by the way, if you're curious, because I know he plays after you go to bed, Mark. Yes.
I'm very sleepy.
For the Portland Trailblazers. So sleepy. This season averaged 24 points a game, 6.9 rebounds, 6.7 assists, while shooting a modest 31.8% from three. He was an all-star.
This is a punch to the gut.
Apparently a lot of other people were shocked, much like you, that the Bulls spent the fourth pick overall back in 2020 on Patrick Williams instead of maybe, I don't know, Denny Avdia. I'll say it again, because I had to say it earlier.
What are the implications of Patrick Williams' draft selection?
Arturas Karnaschovas and Mark Eversley can't hurt you ever again.
All right, thank God that's over. I got a headache. Layla Rahimi. Marshall Harris. Mark Grody. Middays 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 104.3 The Score.
Rahimi Harrison-Grody with the Patrick Williams of the score filling in. Gabe Ramirez hanging out with you. You are not the Patrick Williams of the score. Although, if there's something you want to tell me about that, maybe you should be treating the lunch if you're the Patrick Williams of the score. No, you're right. Actually, no. I take that back. Maybe like the Trey Jones. of the score for your show.
I like that.
I like that. Got a little bit of money. You know what I'm saying? Can count on me, for sure. Yeah. Not your starter, though. Not yet. That is. We are hanging out with you guys. Love that intro right there by Tyler Buterbaugh. Love a good edit on an intro. And love the conversation. I had to go look up. I was like, wait, how did Denny Abia get on the Blazers? Like, what was the trade? It was in June of 2024. It was when they moved off of Malcolm Brogdon. Where's Malcolm Brogdon now? You know, same thing I'm doing. 14th overall pick in the 2024 draft, which they used on Bub Carrington. And they still have a 2029 first round pick and two future second round picks. Oh, 2029. Think about all that they got. And then I think about Kobe White, you know, and like the Bulls.
And I'm just thinking, I'm just like, everybody gets first round picks and second round picks and players for this, for that matter. And Danny Abia could have got you a lot. You know, if that would have been the case, Patrick Williams, not so much, but here we are. and why are you looking like that what's up Marshall what's going on you brought up the Kobe White that was unnecessary because we all saw what Kobe White did in getting the Hornets to a second playing game are the Hornets gonna pay him because let's not forget I think a lot of people are like oh my god look at Io he's killing oh look at Kobe he's killing but like yeah but those guys are gonna command a lot of dollars in free agency that's why the Bulls moved off of them oh okay who are the Bulls paying this offseason I don't know they got 58 million dollars in cash base so who do you think they're gonna pay you confident that that's gonna go well for them
