This might be one of those "dodge a bullet" situations.
We have our owner doing God knows what trying to hire a dude with no front office experience. Dude with no experience laughably oversteps his bounds, asks for even more power he wouldn't even know what to do with and Dan balks.
Our plan B turns in to more of the opposite......a basketball operations lifer who focuses on running the day to day of the FO but lacks cache of a former player. That allows us to be a bit more attractive (from a stability point) to a more experienced GM candidate who will have more authority over player personnel and not have to answer the "have you played before?" questions Chancey would likely lob at them.
