What introductory remarks are made about the podcast hosts?
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. The Chicago Bulls are finalizing the hire of Portland Trailblazers interim coach Tiago Splitter as the franchise's new head coach. Sources tell ESPN. What do you think about the Bulls hiring of Tiago Splitter as the brand new head coach? The 25th head coach in Bulls history. To have Tiago Splitter on your staff after he did something as remarkable as what he did in Portland, which is through some serious adversity.
Take the reins, as you mentioned, Mark, and lead that team to the playoffs in the West. I want you to be happy.
You see what I'm dealing with?
Donny Abia is the guy in Portland who was an all-star last year under his watch after not being as successful during his time as a Wizards as one of the top picks by Washington. I just like this as a stabilizing force. He clearly knows how to do better than kind of a question mark, which is what a lot of these assistants are when they get this first opportunity, usually with a team. This is the only candidate who had an actual head coaching experience with Mike Inori being one of those that was eliminated. Ryan Schmidt as well. Wes Unsell Jr., who was on the Bulls coaching staff this past season. It feels like he's checking some boxes as far as development is concerned.
What are the implications of the Chicago Bulls hiring Tiago Splitter?
We've done the modeling. He checks every box.
Within three years, he could be an all-star. Rex, you want to win now or you want to win in three years?
We want to win now. Things are going in the right direction, I believe, for pretty much the entire city right now. There's an upswell of feeling good.
I just want to thank you for listening to me and letting me be a part of your life today. Because you've got a good life. You've got a good life.
A good life. Leila Rahimi. Marshall Harris. Mark Grody. Middays, 10 a.m. to 2. On Chicago Sports Radio 104.3. The Score. The Score.
Dedication to being absolutely factual from that opening. Wes Unsell Jr. indeed does have, did have, does have, to his name, head coaching experience for three years of his life. So sorry to snub him just a little bit yesterday. Well, we know he won't be the next head coach of the Bulls, so there's that. It's Tiago Splitter as we welcome you in to Rahimi Harris and Grody on 104.3 The Score. Good to have Marshall Harris here. I am Mark Grody. I see two Tylers over on the other side of the glass. That's right. Every once in a while you get these days. It's like a full moon. You have to appreciate it. The double Tyler formation. The double Tyler formation. You've got a baby T moving in for Dave Dykstra today.
Tyler Ferengal is in the house. You've got Tyler Buterbaugh. He is an absolute beaut. He is in today. Ray Diaz continues to have this week off as he deserves it. We were actually just hoping and praying, or at least I was, that Ray Diaz was not watching the Cubs game last night when Phil Maton came into the game and and ended up walking a guy in with the bases loaded and just looking like the bad Phil Maton that we've been seeing all year. Because Ray Diaz, when last he blew a game, was telling us on the text thread, Why don't they DFA this guy? Why do I keep seeing this guy walking out? How come I have to deal with him? Because he's under a two-year contract, Ray. With a third-year option. With a third-year option.
You've got to pay $3 million in 2028 just to make him go away. That is correct. So for Ray's health, we hope that he's not watching these games. But we do welcome you in. Great to have you with us on the Rahimi Harrison Grody Show. We are open for you as well. 312-644-6767. It's going to be a fun ride today. We've got lots of guests and lots of great things. But my goodness... Goodness is a way to describe it, I guess.
