He may sit down on Monday with Michael Reinsdorf and not hear what he needs to hear.

And I think that's probably remote.

That's at one range of outcome, probably the remote range, remote side.

It's a pretty bold thing to say.

Yes.

So I think there's some confidence internally that he will come back, even though he hasn't announced it or declared it.

No.

He also might be wanting to make sure he communicates

That he needs certain things to be in place.

And if he feels like that commitment needs to be reinforced, that's what he needs to hear.

And that should make you feel good because Billy Donovan wants to work for an ownership group that's committed to winning.

Well, I think that's a good question, and I think it's interesting to frame it that way because he did say when he left Oklahoma City, part of the reason was why, the understanding was he did not want to be part of that.

That was also six years ago.

He's at a different phase of his life and his career, and things do change.

And look, when we're reinforcing this kind of faith and expressing this confidence in Billy Donovan, it is with the knowledge that he's not had a terrific tenure as a Bulls head coach in terms of a lot of winning deep in the playoffs.

That's not been his reality.

I guess what I want to know is do people feel like it's – do we have a blind spot there?

Because I believe he's been working with –

Limited rosters.

And I don't think he's had everything that there have been some really bad decisions made putting these rosters together, which is why they're having a change at the top.
