I actually think we have pretty decent argument, he's not really done much tbh and would rather wait and see how he goes this year before giving him more money not really that controversial.
Surely I lean towards giving McNair an extension but this is a take I can accept as well. No need (not saying you did, doesn't matter who did) to dig up records one way or the other for this point you are trying to make.
Did the roster with Vlade and before require a big overhaul from within the organization's structure to building the habits among the players to create a certain, ahem, "culture" in order to be successful?
Yes, since it was a completely different make-up of rosters and the desired way to compete was different from Divac and McNair.
Did we give him enough alone time (All those full-GM control discussions) to try to fix it?
Maybe, maybe not.
Did McNair and his team have success?
Obviously, we are still missing this endgame tournament where over 50% of teams are allowed.
Was our team clearly heading in the right direction now after 2-years with McNair?
Maybe. Maybe not.
If we look at it from a corporation standpoint, I supposed the extension for your GM can wait for another couple of months, as some of you suggested, to see how he performs into the next season. But it will be a dangerous game to play to let McNair in the final year of his contract going into the season unless some kind of understanding/agreement has been reached among Ranadive and McNair and that, that is something we won't have an answer for.
(Maybe Ham con confirm or deny this for us?
)
Universally, the worst thing is to cut ties with McNair before we know for sure this is not working and avoid the next wave of Meet and Greet from even appearing.
