Rahimi Harrison-Grody, middays 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Chicago Sports Radio 670 The Score.
We'll stay present in the moment and we're going to, you know, look at this year, at this team, how we're going to start, how we're going to go through the season. And, you know, again, you know, all those very specific goals and how we want to play and how the guys have to respond.
We're probably going to have to play, you know, long rotations because, you know, we wanted to play fast and high pace. So we'll see, you know, during the year and that information collected is going to help us, you know, to make those decisions.
That's the president of basketball operations for the Bulls, Arturis Karnaschovas, back in September, as we welcome you back into Rahimi Harrison-Grody on the score. The Bulls have a game tonight. Bulls at the Pacers tonight. Early one, 545 pregame, 6 p.m. jumper in Indy. The pretty bad Indiana Pacers. My goodness. They could have won a title last year, and Halliburton is not there.
They are 11-36, and as a matter of fact, the Bulls are 0-2. So two of the 11 wins for the Pacers have come at the expense of the Chicago Bulls. And Marshall, what is still continuing to be really important, I mean, as we monitor this,
and track the bulls progress on the court what they're doing right 23 and 23 had been on a little bit of a roll until the lakers game where they lost 129 to 118 but with the trade deadline bearing down bears on february 5th and it just happens and the bulls having seven potential free agents they're in the news

Chapter 2: How is the Bulls' current performance affecting their trade strategy?
So the Bulls fall to the bottom of the heap, namely because they don't have the draft capital to make the trade, but also the players they would have to give up in that deal are the players he would need to play with to be good.
He's passed 12 years? 12 years in the NBA. That hit me a little bit. Giannis has been in the league for 12 years? Yeah, 12 and a half. That's crazy. He seems like he's been, just the way he plays still, like his athleticism and all, it feels like he's been in the league for five or six years.
I mean, Giannis started young, too. Let's not throw that out of the window. He what? He started young. It wasn't like he came out of college.
No college, right. Yes, so... I think... That's a good thing to add in, though.
But the important thing here is if you're the Bulls and you have all these players, Nikola Vucevic, Kobe White, Ayo Dosumu, the list goes on and on. No, Giddey's under lock and key.
Oh, right, right. You're seven. You're going through the potential free agents.
I'm talking about the guys that would be free agents. Got you. Then what are you going to do ahead of the deadline? Who should you move? And what should the return price be? They need first rounders. Get first-rounders. And if you can't get a first-rounder, at least send Patrick Williams out with that deal.
You get this great value of Ayo Dosumu, who's $7.5 million in his final year of a contract. Attach Patrick Williams so now you don't have that $18 million per season. also on your roster. You either get draft picks or you get rid of Patrick Williams in one of these deals.
The thing that I want people to understand before this trade deadline happens is no matter what they do, they will not be tanking. They're just not built to tank.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of Giannis Antetokounmpo's potential trade?
So it made me remember what it was like when, for instance, Derrick Rose was there or the Jordan years and what it can be if that is to arise again. But it was cool, man, to see. And LeBron, like... Breakaway dunk in the first quarter of that game brought the house down at the United Center.
He had three dunks in the first half.
He did. Obviously, the Lakers are pretty good, but there's a showman factor when LeBron comes to Chicago, too.
Not only that, but I told Layla this. They definitely remember what happened last year. First of all, they got beat down. They gave up 145 or 146 points in L.A., In the first meeting. And then less than a week later, they come to Chicago and Josh Giddey says, watch this from half court. Yes, that's right. You think Luka and LeBron don't remember that?
They came out with that type of avenging energy. That's a good point.
Yeah, like that had to be on their mind, the entertainment factor a little bit. But yeah, you're right.
Did it feel like LeBron's last game in Chicago?
No. Not necessarily. It just felt like another LeBron game to me. Just watching him like I've watched him a hundred times at the United Center in multiple uniforms. It just looked like LeBron, man. It's not the same. I get it. I'm not going to go crazy.
You say not the same, but that did not look any bit of 41.
