The Bulls' head coaching search is coming into focus, @BrettSiegelNBA reports:
"Chicago is attempting to lure Splitter away from the Blazers, which makes me believe he is a top option for them as a finalist. Over the last few weeks, the Bulls have been pushing the idea that they are a better long-term position for Splitter, especially since they would be committed to him long-term compared to the Blazers, sources said. Minnesota Timberwolves lead assistant Micah Nori is also said to have left a strong impression on Graham and the new Bulls leadership group... Splitter and Nori are both viewed as fresh voices in the coaching landscape who can play a direct role in Chicago's youth development."

I am told Timberwolves’ Micah Nori has left a strong impression on the Bulls and is considered a finalist for their HC vacancy. Chicago is also attempting to lure Tiago Splitter away from Portland.
Chris Quinn (Heat), who was a top candidate early in the Bulls’ search next to Sean Sweeney, who took the Magic job, is expected to return to the Heat and continue his tenure as Erik Spoelstra’s top assistant.
My friend Rondale Moore would have turned 26 years old today.
I wanted to make a post in his memory and remind everyone that mental health matters. It doesn’t care if you’re rich or poor, young or old, famous or unknown. It can affect anyone.
No matter what we accomplish in life, nothing is more important than our mental health.
I pray for Rondale and his family today, and I hope he knew just how loved he was. I also hope anyone reading this remembers that you are loved too, and that it’s OK to ask for help when you need it.
God bless. 🙏
The search for Portland’s next head coach is down to three finalists:
🏀 Tiago Splitter
🏀 Micah Nori
🏀 Tyler Lashbrook
Splitter already led the Blazers back to the playoffs—but interest from the Bulls and Europe could complicate Portland’s decision.

Sources said Elton Brand will not return as 76ers GM and is currently working through a new role with the franchise and its parent company, Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment. Brand, well-respected throughout the 76ers’ organization, elected not to interview for the President role after the team parted with Daryl Morey and has been fully supporting the team’s ongoing Draft prep.
