Jon Greenberg talks Bulls' 'ardor' for Billy Donovan, candidates for lead executive job (Hour 2)

In this episode of the Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show, host John Greenberg joins to discuss the Chicago Bulls' renewed commitment to head coach Billy Donovan, following Michael Reinsdorf's recent press conference where he expressed strong support for Donovan, calling him the 'key' to the team's future. Greenberg offers a candid assessment, acknowledging Donovan's likability and consistency but questioning the validity of Reinsdorf's praise given the Bulls' lack of playoff success and subpar results despite having talent. He critiques the organization's failure to stockpile draft picks and its outdated front office processes, advocating for a more forward-thinking executive like Sam Presti of the Oklahoma City Thunder. The conversation shifts to potential candidates for the lead executive role, with Greenberg highlighting Mike Zarin, Kyle Korver, and Matt Lloyd as possible fits. Later, the focus turns to the Cubs, where Colin Ray and Javier Assad step up in the rotation, with Alex Bregman playing a key mentorship role, demonstrating how veteran leadership can impact younger players beyond the box score. The episode closes with a humorous, self-aware segment on packing habits and the perils of checked luggage during a trip to Las Vegas.
