Is that time of business supposed to make us feel better so not only is vevik a dumbass basketball wise he’s also shady.
Or it could be Vivek trying to salvage his commitment to Vlade while also providing an exit for Vlade. Vlade either had to eat his pride and relinquish final say to Dumars while staying on to see if things would turn around or take the exit. He took the exit.
Happens often where a company hires or promotes someone, realizes that person isn't ready or fit for the role, compromise by supporting that person with extra personnel (Cantenella, Perry/Williams/Dumars), and then finally the person resigns or gets fired when it's obvious to all in involved that its just not going to work.
Less cynical side of me thinks Vivek was trying to give Vlade one more year. Cynical side says Dumars was brought in to push Vlade out. Both can be true.
Side note: if it's the former, that puts Vivek in a very good light. I'm a big fan of providing exits. Creating exits have saved friendships and entering business relationships with folks, who may be having cold feet.
