And they hadn't in the past.

I don't know.

I mean, I feel like the trade deadline became the search for the nine or ten very good players that Arturis Karnasheva spoke of.

Like, we're just going to take flyers on all these guys.

A lot of them we've scouted previously, and that's what became the idea.

We know that it wasn't executed to its finish.

That obviously happened when they decided to fire Karnasheva.

Arturis Karnaschovas and Mark Eversley.

But Billy Donovan, when he talked about this, I think he translated to me what was what I gathered, which is the organization wanted to compliment him.

They don't want to punish him for what happened around him.

It's just procedurally, this is not usually how it goes.

And that's the disconnect.

The lack of due diligence leading to such a catastrophic result is a fireable offense.

Period.

The basketball results were a fireable offense.

But let's take it out of the NBA as far as how I think Billy interpreted and told us what he thinks of what Reinsdorf said last week.

Say you're not running an NBA team.

Say that you're running a regional paper company.

You're probably not going to fire the assistant to the regional manager, even though the regional manager was bad.

But this is not a typical business.
