They hired Billy Donovan, then he got cold feet, and he stayed in Gainesville.

At this point, it would be a surprise if it's not Billy in Orlando, given all the smoke that has been there all along.

And Layla, I'd also say...

If you're Billy and you know you're at the end of your career, you want one more chance to try and win.

That was never, ever going to happen with the setup right now that's going on with the Bulls.

So the Magic have a lot of...

Talented young pieces.

It makes a hell of a lot of sense.

Clearly, there's a comfort level in that Florida area.

Does he ultimately get the job?

We'll see.

But the Magic could do worse than Billy.

And I think Billy knew all along, like a lot of coaches did, that this was the prime opening.

And I think a lot of people were scared during Game 6.

when it looked like the Magic were well on their way to the second round.

Now they're not, and I think there's an expectation that he's probably the guy unless something else crazy happens here at some point in the next week or so.

It's great to be with you all.

Talk to you soon.
