And I think the big question for the Bulls is how do you pivot?

How do you become a team that is adaptable?

How do you fail and then learn from that failure and get better?

Because there's going to be a lot of failing in the next year and the next five years.

And the only way that this team gets better is that you don't hit on a draft pick and you figure out how to learn from it and move on.

You don't hit on a trade and you figure out how to learn from it and move on.

And I just don't think that it has been proven in a very, very long time that this team and this franchise can do that.

So that's kind of my biggest picture question.

Is that part of it?

I definitely did.

I think that's always my biggest, I always wonder if a young executive versus an older executive with more experience, I always wonder which is better at pivoting because someone with more experience will maybe just have more of a sense of, okay, here's how we do X, Y, Z. Here's how, you know, I've messed up before.

Here's how I handled this in the past.

Here's how I'm going to handle it again in the future.

But it can also be difficult for a more veteran executive

executive to pivot.

Like that's just something that gets harder the longer that you've been in a role or been doing something.

So I think that the exciting thing with having, you know, a 39 year old executive come in, who's really at the start of everything is he's going to have a lot of ideas and not be, you would expect not be as set in his ways.

And so I think that a lot of what he was articulating today was that willingness to try things, you know, to maybe do something that you look back on and you go, man, that looks stupid, but I stand by it because I felt good about the decision.

I think the big test for him is still going to be, okay, all of that is great in theory.

How do you handle things when something actually goes wrong?
