Well, and beloved NBA site, at least by me, Clutch Points, reported on this rumor that the Orlando Magic have picked things up recently and that Billy Donovan might be one of the possibilities.

So Brett Siegel of Clutch Points said that.

He spoke on Billy Donovan saying that there are going to be several teams out there that check in with him about potentially taking over their head coaching vacancy.

And by the way, New Orleans, as we understand, is also that happened last night.

I was on the plane.

We could potentially see.

Six, seven, maybe eight jobs open up this year in the summer for new head coaches in the NBA.

And so he mentioned Billy Donovan.

Now, I think it's valid because that's how Billy got the reported extension, was the Knicks interviewed about 750 people, but Billy Donovan was considered one of priority.

He's a New York State native.

So I understand why Donovan, who grew up in the New York market on Long Island, that would be a great...

a great place for him to land.

Billy Donovan is still a respected name in the coaching ranks.

I think the truest measure of Billy Donovan with the talent when the expectation was to make the playoffs, so the early part when they just traded for boots, they had DeMar, Lonzo Ball was healthy.

Let's go back to that time.

So if you're looking at that time on our blame pie, as I make the circle for our friends watching on Twitch and YouTube, the score Chicago, I feel like...

They ran into a buzzsaw that year in the playoffs in Giannis and the Bucs.

It was still a very talented Milwaukee Bucs team.

Yeah, that was the time where they made the real playoffs.

I was excited.
