What defines a Chicago Bull in the current NBA landscape?
Regardless of the rookie or veteran player, can you define a Chicago Bull? Define a Chicago Bull? That's a good question. I mean, it's going to be tough. We're going to be competitive. Be about the right things and not take yourself too seriously. I don't want anybody to take themselves too seriously in the building. We're going to have fun doing this. And so that's from staff all the way to the players.
Mully and Haw, 104-3 the score. There you just heard the new head of basketball for the Bulls, the big man himself, Bryson Graham, with Chuck telling him how he defines basketball. A Chicago Bulls player and interesting definition there. We are delighted to welcome in Brett Siegel. He is an NBA insider and reporter on the league for Clutch Points. Brett, good morning.
Who are the leading candidates for the Bulls' head coaching position?
Thanks for joining us on the Plumbers 911 hotline. Plumbing emergency call 1-833-PLUM-911. Local 130 plumbers get the job done right the first time. morning brett morning how are you guys doing You know, I got to tell you, I love your list of coaching candidates. And I find it one where you're almost spoiled for choice. I just really like the names that you've brought out into the open. How quickly do you anticipate this being done? And is there such a thing as a favorite for that head coaching job?
Well, this is going to be a very conclusive and long search by new vice president of basketball operations, Bryson Graham. He made it clear that he wants to change the vision and the image of the Bulls, and I think that Bulls fans are very much on board with everything that he's selling them right now. Those coaching candidates, like you mentioned, that we reported at Clutch Points, Chris Quinn of the Miami Heat and a longtime assistant under Eric Spolstra, Micah Norrie, who's been involved with numerous head coaching positions through the years, been rumored to as being a head coaching candidate from the Minnesota Timberwolves. Sean Sweeney, who has emerged as one of the best young names from the San Antonio Spurs.
Dave Bliss, another young name from the Oklahoma City Thunder.
What is Bryson Graham's vision for the Bulls' future?
And then obviously Tiago Splitter from the Portland Travelers, who was their interim head coach this past year, was tied for seventh in the coach of the year voting. Those are names that we have all confirmed at Clutch Points as candidates for the Bulls' opening. You had Mark J. Spears, I believe it was yesterday or the day before, come out and mention Johnny Bryant, Cavaliers' longtime assistant. He has a really good relationship with Donna Mitchell, one of the better young coaching minds in the league. So it just goes to show that Bryson Graham isn't going to back down from some of the big names that are out there in terms of the rising coaches up the ranks. And he wants a fresh voice. He wants a younger voice that is going to be able to relate with this young team that he's going to build.
And that starts in the NBA draft with the number four pick. And they're going to end up with one of those four generational talents at the top, whether it be A.J. DeBonta, Darren Peterson, Cam Boozer, or what looks the most likely, Caleb Wilson at this point.
You also reported that the Bulls had been in conversation with the Washington Wizards about the number one overall pick moving up from four. Number one, how serious do you think those talks would be or are? And secondly, what would it take to move up three spots?
From my understanding, everybody that has reached out to the Wizards has gotten the sense that Washington is not moving the number one pick. And the Bulls, as we reported, were one of those teams that had done their due diligence on that number one pick.
How is the Bulls' strategy shaping up for the NBA Draft?
And it just feels necessary, if you're a team in the top five, to reach out and just see what it would take to get the number one pick. That's what Bryson Graham and the Bulls have done. And obviously that price is going to be way too high. The talks have just been nothing more than exploratory at this point. They're not... Fully engaging in talks where they're talking about future picks and players now.
