Cam Smith reacts to Michael Reinsdorf's press conference

Cam Smith joins the Mully & Haugh Show to react to Michael Reinsdorf's recent 30-minute press conference, where the Bulls owner emphasized his strong support for head coach Billy Donovan and set a clear expectation: any new general manager must be willing to keep Donovan if he chooses to stay. Cam highlights the significance of Reinsdorf's message, framing it as both a testament to Donovan's respected basketball mind and a strategic move to limit the pool of potential GM candidates who aren't aligned with the team's vision. He discusses Donovan’s personal challenges, his potential future roles—both as coach or in a front-office capacity like Brad Stevens—and expresses skepticism about Donovan transitioning into an executive role, citing his deep connection to coaching. Cam also evaluates key players like Collin Sexton and Leonard Miller, advocating for strategic use of the Bulls’ $60 million in cap space, particularly in bolstering the frontcourt. He favors a veteran, experienced GM with a proven track record—highlighting Bob Myers as a top-tier candidate—and underscores the urgency of the hiring process ahead of the May 10th draft lottery and the NBA Combine.
