That's when your head of front office, the people who made the deal to bring Jaden Ivey in, should be front and center and taking accountability for where that decision led.

But I'll tell you one thing.

When you fire the regional manager and the assistant to the regional manager is there, when you hire that new regional manager, he gets to pick his assistant to the regional manager.

depends on how much you believe in the assistant to the regional manager.

But to take it even further, if the assistant to the regional manager says, hey, I really like being the assistant to the regional manager, but I don't want to be the regional manager.

Now, when you bring in the regional manager, don't you have to have him give his say of who he wants to be as assistant?

See, we've exhausted this analogy, I believe.

Yes.

I expect Billy Donovan to be back until he's not back.

Until he says, I'm not coming back.

In whatever role.

Whether that's front office guy.

Because would you be surprised if...

Michael Reinsdorf handed him the keys to the franchise?

I don't remember.

No.

He said... There was nothing he said in that press conference that I was like, oh, that's surprising that he said that.

I mean, every team thought they were getting D'Angelo Russell's at some point.

Here's what I'll say about Billy Donovan and what he had to say after the press conference.

Nothing he said surprised me.
