Spiegel and Holmes, afternoons on the score.

Would that be a title that gets added to him?

0:19.8

I doubt that, but if, you know, Billy wants to, look, as you said earlier, Billy doesn't

0:26.0

want to be the next general manager, but, you know, if he came to me and said, hey, I may want

0:30.7

to do a Brad Stevens situation, I would sit down and listen to Billy. I don't think that's

0:36.3

where his head's at. Right, right. But, no, so I don't think, I don't think Billy cares about titles. Billy cares about, you know, being a head coach and he cares about the players and cares about the organization. I think that's what's the most important thing. I hate getting so bogged down in titles. I think what's more important is what your responsibilities are, what input do you have?

I mean, the difference between the title of Director of Basketball Operations and Head Coach is fairly significant.

1:02.3

Big difference there. I agree. That title signifies a lot different. I don't know if Billy Donovan wants the Brad Stevens experience. you know, wants that. I know it seems like a nice life for Brad Stevens. Was he 49 years old? 49. He won't be 50 until October. Yeah. He made the right choice. That seems like a very good way to go about one's existence. Yeah. Not traveling. Traveling only when you want to? Yeah. Not doing the nitty-gritty day to day. Winning executive of the year, winning a championship. It's a hell of a run from Butler. And being a DePaul assistant back in the day. It's crazy. Brian Geltziler has covered the NBA for Eons. I can say that because I'm old like him. He is such a good man and knows everything about the league. Great to have Geltzzi back on the show. Gelsi, what's up, my dude? What's up, Lawrence? Listen, the only difference with you and I in terms of age is that you're a lot better looking than I am. The years are kind to you. To me, you can see every bit on my face like it's a friggin' roadmap. You know, so God bless, you know. Years are good to you. You look good, my man. It's great to be with you guys. Geltie is the best, man. Like the rings on a tree. It's just wisdom that you've accrued, Geltie.

That's...

2:19.9

Something like that.

2:22.4

From your mouth to God's ears, my man.

2:24.9

That is all it is.

2:27.4

What would the feeling be, you think, for a Sam Presti assistant, or for Bob Myers, you know, or somebody that Michael

2:39.7

Rinesdorf wants to offer the keys to the Bulls Castle if he were told, but also Billy

2:45.8

Donovan wants to be our coach, and that's your head coach.

2:49.2

Well, I, so listen, if it's somebody that comes from the Thunder organization, Billy was there

2:54.1

If it's somebody that has been there a while, i.e. a Rob Hennigan, they'd probably be okay with it.
