Seems reasonable... folks were guessing between $4-5M over five years. About right when you look at current elite coaches (despite rumors of huge $$ and ownership coming out of WAS)...
So Les saved about $2 million over 4 years from hiring Larry Brown. Maybe less, given Larry might not have stuck around all four years.
I think JVG was the main target all along. Remember Doc Rockets deleated thread that basically said JVG would be the man and Rudy was out just a couple of days before Rudy T stepped down? I don't think money was ever that big of an issue like some made it out to be.
Please use one of the other "JVG is our coach" threads so we can reduce the clutter on the first page. Thanks.
