It's their P&L so whatever. But I think you have to pay for talent to guide your $80M investment. Seems dumb to skimp on this.
Even Tre was a project. And like others have said, his time might be up just as he is starting to figure it out.
Seems more and more like owners might be the problem. There is a preponderance of circumstantial evidence.

This is also circumstance, but ownership seems to run the team like any asset investment. They are as corporate as they come.
Given that I am sure if the GM said I gave a plan that we will not be a cap team, we will be 4 mill under and we will spend that on a coach the owners would listen. The outcome is what they are after like any investor.
My suspicion is the current GM feels the player investment is worth more than the coach.
I just can’t see how the owners block line item costs when they appear to budget a total amount for operations. Like any corporation.
