But I don't want to inherit coaching, if that makes sense.

So I'm of two minds with it.

I think that sometimes.

Who Billy is as a coach gets played down too much in that conversation.

But I just really, really struggle to believe that that top-level executive is just going to let that decision be taken away from them.

Yeah, and it's not just the rebuild aspect of it, because I do know that the player development aspect of a rebuild is actually incredibly interesting to Billy, and it's something that he does enjoy working with.

It's the losing.

And it's really difficult to explain how much Billy Donovan hates losing, unless you were watching, which I kind of hope most people weren't, but if you were watching the last 20 Bulls games,

He was playing – the Bulls would be playing a meaningless basketball game already eliminated from the playoffs.

All that is left is just figuring out these draft lottery standings.

And if something happened in the fourth quarter, he's grabbing Trey Jones and throwing him back in again because he can't handle the concept of losing –

again, just one of these like garbage time games.

And a lot of that comes down to, you know, kind of just the integrity and the way that he carries himself as a person, but he also just hates losing.

And it, again, to your point, it's hard to imagine someone who feels that way and is playing, you know, Trey Jones, Colin Sexton for 30 something minutes a game in the latter half of the season.

It's just hard to imagine that fitting with a team that's about to commit to losing a lot next season, probably the season after that, no matter what they do.

I really do think that it depends on the Donovan decision.

And that is a boring answer.

But that decision really kind of flips the switch on everything else.

So after this week, I definitely kind of would have a list.

But right now, I think we're just kind of working with a lot of factors that make it make it hard to answer that one.
