This team is already surrounded by ownership uncertainty, I don’t think we’d want to add GM uncertainty to the mix. It’s not my money, pay the man and let this play out.

Seems to be the gong rate these days, multiple coaches have signed recently for 10+ million per year. Budenhozer got 5 year 50 million to coach the Suns for a year or two before they will eventually fire him and still pay him, Lue got 14 million per year to coach the Clippers. Hurley is about to get a massive offer to be the coach of the Lakers. NBA is about to sign a massive new tv deal that is going to bring in a lot of revenue, with the salary caps only going up 10% per year starting in 25-26 so the owners are going to be making bank the first few years of the new tv deal as the salary cap slowly catches up.
