I don't know why it took a month for the announcement on his shutdown, but it's certainly been a bit of a rollercoaster ride as to how we got here.

Whatever has been going on behind the scenes has brought us here and it's an odd situation from the outside looking in.

We went from day-to-day to unknown return... and then statements that it's back in Donnie's camp to decide, then the odd announcement that we'll know today or by morning and then 48 hours later a shutdown announcement.

Perhaps what you mention above has already taken place over the past month and has been part of a NIL re-negotiation?? If something like that was going on, it is unfortunate having to deal with it during an actual season, but we are in a brave new world of NIL free agency and the players are now holding the cards. Hopefully, Kline was helping  manage this situation, if so. Something like that is especially why you need to have a GM now.

I don't understand all the cloak-and-dagger around any of it though other than for the fact he came in heralded as a generational talent. Re-negotiating NIL and/or planning a portal exit mid-season isn't exactly a great PR strategy but I guess it can happen now?? Such is life. I guess It's not my place to know, I suppose. The handling on this situation just feels new, different, and weird.
