Podcast appearances and mentions of James Borrego

 The Chicago Bulls coaching search keeps growing, and another fascinating name has officially entered the mix.The Bulls' reported head coach candidate list is now up to 11 names, with Cleveland Cavaliers assistant Johnnie Bryant joining a group that already includes Sean Sweeney, Micah Nori, Dave Bliss, Tiago Splitter, James Borrego, Wes Unseld Jr., Lamar Skeeter, Ryan Schmidt, Jerry Stackhouse, and Chris Quinn.Haize breaks down why Bryant is one of the most intriguing names in the search. At only 40 years old, Bryant has already built a strong reputation around the NBA, working with the Utah Jazz, New York Knicks, and Cleveland Cavaliers while learning under respected coaches like Quin Snyder, Tom Thibodeau, and Kenny Atkinson. Could Bryant be the kind of young, development-focused culture setter Bryson Graham needs for this new era of Bulls basketball?Plus, the conversation shifts to Ayo Dosunmu and whether a return to Chicago could make sense in free agency. After being traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves, Dosunmu raised his value with strong defense, improved shot-making, playmaking growth, and a breakout playoff performance. With only a few teams projected to have real cap space, could the Bulls bring Ayo back home?Haize also dives into the bigger roster-building question: how should the Bulls balance their young core with veteran help? With Matas Buzelis, Josh Giddey, Noa Essengue, Leonard Miller, and two first-round picks at No. 4 and No. 15, Chicago needs development minutes — but they also need veterans who can defend, communicate, space the floor, protect the rim, and help create winning habits.The Bulls don't need to choose between playing the kids and building structure. They need both.Topics Covered:

Cam Smith and K.C. Johnson unpack some more offseason moves for the Chicago Bulls after the organization officially added Stephen Mervis and Acie Law IV to the front office. The conversation dives into Law's return to the franchise, his basketball background, and the Chicago sports ties that make the hire even more intriguing. From there, the spotlight swings toward the Bulls' coaching search, as Cam and K.C. sort through the growing list of candidates that includes Wes Unseld Jr., David Sweeney, Micah Nori, and James Borrego. Then the energy shifts to a wild start to the NBA's conference finals, beginning with the Spurs and Thunder delivering an instant classic in Game 1 of the West Finals. Cam and K.C. break down Victor Wembanyama's jaw-dropping performance, debate whether his deep late-game three could become one of the defining shots of this NBA era, and discuss what lessons the Bulls can take from San Antonio's rapid rise. The episode also includes Eastern Conference Finals predictions, draft talk surrounding potential risers outside the top four, K.C.'s insight into how league circles view the Bulls' draft position, and why Cam believes Caleb Wilson may ultimately have the highest ceiling in the entire class.
