Yeah, I do think the way I'd kind of settled on this whole thing with Billy is that Billy, for much of his career, has been like an incredible floor raiser, right?
Like he's taken some...
like super garbage teams and like made like digestible, like rosters.
I mean, but as far as like ceiling raising, which is like a real thing, which like Mark Dagnall does, Joe Mazzulla does, like his resume in the NBA as a ceiling raiser has not been super extensive.
And so like the grass might not be greener, right?
Because as a floor raiser, there are very few out there like Billy Donovan.
But generally, like if you're operating under the guise of like a clean slate like this, this was the phrase I believe Michael used.
There's no such thing as a clean slate if you're not allowing your next decision maker to really build out a staff.
And that's not just the front office.
That's a coaching staff and get someone who is aligned in his vision.
Sure, if this was Dennis Lindsay or Matt Lloyd or whoever they might call on, maybe it doesn't take long for them to get aligned with Billy.
But I did think it was...
Sure.
It wasn't the best way to begin your search.
And to Billy's credit, I imagine Billy saw the writing on the wall.
And to me, a lot of this signals there is going to be a rebuild.
And we've known for some time now who Billy Donovan is, and he's wired to be competitive.
He's tried to do it with some really poor rosters, this year included, where Yabusele is like their one active big for a lot of the time.
And it just wasn't enough.
Not to mention the sort of turbulent personal year.
