What does Bryson Graham envision for the Chicago Bulls?
This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. We're going to bring you the press conference live when it happens. Thanks to our partners, CHSN. That is when the press conference happens. We broadcast live from The Score's Hyundai Studios, brought to you by your local Hyundai dealers. They also will bring you the press conference. Thanks to Hyundai and thanks to CHSN. I think we all just want to hear him speak. I know people have already texted in wondering what he's going to say. I think we got a guess about how many times he'd say the word culture.
Well, they wanted us to set the over-under. I'm going to set the over-under for culture at seven and a half. Do you want to take the over or under, the word culture coming out of his mouth?
It depends on for how long he speaks.
That's fair. That's fair.
I mean, if you want to put it at seven and a half, I'm good to it.
So seven and a half. Ray, would you like to take the over or under? I am going to take the under on this only because for like an odd reason, he seems like a bright young guy. I think he's going to have this thing well written out. And yeah, total guess in the dark. Okay. Tyler, you got a guess on that? I'm also going to hit the under on this. Just literally how I've heard him talk before. Okay. I like this.
I think that would be good. I think the more he can stay away from cliches, the better off that this thing will go.
Yeah, I'm not even worried about that. I think that the more, the bigger concern is, what is he going to say about the stuff that we asked Michael Reinsdorf about as a press corps? You know, it wasn't you and I. We weren't on the Zoom. We listened here on the score. Things talking about, like, for example, Tanky, how are you going to talk about assets? How do you value assets? How do you evaluate players? We're not going to get the whole answer, but when everybody's talked to him about all these different ways that he has gone about bringing talent, whether it's a two-way contract, whether it's undrafted players, whether it's the draft, how he scouted them, that's what makes this compelling to me.
I'm really curious about the idea of if there is a common thread when he goes out and finds these players that have been looked at as draft successes that weren't necessarily the top lottery pick players. If you could tell me how you can do that and give a better understanding of how you've gone about doing that, I feel like we'll have some answers on his perspective. And that's really what I wanted out of the press conference is a better understanding of his perspective doing this job.
Well, that's it is, is, It can't just be the rebound from what Arturas Karnaschovas didn't say. It can't just be the response of, oh, this guy's completely different. You just want to know what he values, what makes him tick, and then how he tries to want to put a team together in a way where you don't have superstars to trade away like the Oklahoma City did with Paul George. You don't have the thunder pathway to getting a ton of first-round picks, for example. You don't have that option. So what's it going to be? What do you think about guys like Matas Bouzelis and Josh Giddey?
What do you think about taking on expiring contracts? And it looks like we're about ready to go, Layla.
Well, let's bring it to you. Thanks to your local Hyundai dealers and CHSN.
All right. Thank you, everyone, for being here. First of all, I want to start... with our fans. I want to, actually I need to say I'm sorry because the results obviously just haven't been there. It's not something I'm proud of and it's something that I want to get right. Ultimately it flows up to me and I take responsibility so I do feel that today is a step in the right direction. And it's an important step.
