The way this works should be Loomis as an acting owner and that's all.

Honestly I think that's all he's doing. He let Demps hire his own coach, gives him a budget to run the team with, and the moves made this year don't seem like one year payoff kind of moves.

If they knew about Holiday in June, then they knew before FA that they'd have AD and a bunch of role players for at least the first month of the season. Overpaying to keep Ryno instead of picking up Hill would have been the move to make if you are thinking about "how do I maximize the chances that I'm here next year." Replace Hill, Terrence Jones and Galloway with Ryno, Cunningham and a cheap SF Wesley Johnson type and this team might have had enough fire power to be 3-5 instead of 0-8.

I want Loomis out as POBO because not only is he not a basketball guy, but his day job limits his availability at key points of the season. But I don't think he's doing much meddling with something like a Playoffs or Bust mandate or the moves made this summer would have been different.
