If the team shows promise and Masai makes good moves then his job is safe.
If the team sucks, and we also fuck up the tank then maybe that’s it. But, if that does happen then…whatever, at that point maybe it would be time to move on.
Quite frankly, Masai’s future shouldn’t be guaranteed either way right now. This is a prove it year for him

Rogers will boot him at end of his contract. Rogers will hire someone a consultant suggests and the Raps will be DOA….
