This is a well, we might as well do it now because we're definitely going to do it. The only other case because I can't make the case that the Nuggets are going to do this. They have Jokic. That's the case. Right. The ceiling is high. That's what we've been saying. Right. And you can shorten your rotation in a playoffs. So depth is obviously a problem for Denver.

Can you shorten that enough to that? There's just six and a half guys and you win with that. I mean, probably not, but that's the case. But the other thing I kept thinking was Jokic is also great enough to carry you to a conference finals when you don't deserve it. And I do wonder if part of the calculus here was we know what we need to do.

Let's not give ourselves a chance to lock up and make it to the conference finals. And all of a sudden now we can't fire the coach. It's working, everybody. We're so close.

So part of me wonders, I can't make sense of why now, other than they think the team will be galvanized and you can save the season, or you worry that any measure of success would make it harder to make the move you know you wanted to make in the offseason.

It's really hard to say, and I think that you look at that and say the interim GM, although it has not been named as such, but the next man up on the totem pole is Tommy Balchettis, who's been around for 10 years. He came in with Tim Conley. Actually, it's been 12 years, so he's been around the building for a very long time. Do they elevate him? That's been their M.O.

In fact, I think there's a quote of Josh Kroenke years back talking about building in a system that's like shark's teeth, revolving shark's teeth. The next guy can fill the shoes of the one that came before him. You have Jokic in his prime. He is a three-time MVP. He had the best season of his career this year, at least offensively.

I think that there's a sense of urgency of you can't, there's no ramp up to this job. Whoever comes in has to hit the ground running. If they do look outside and they try to find someone to come in,
