All GMs make mistakes, and championships are not easy to win. The fact that we have had winning seasons since 2007, despite all of the injuries and the onset of aging superstars is no reason to be fired. In fact, I think Wyc and the ownership group had just as much say as to whether or not we hold on to KG and Pierce and not blow it up over the last couple seasons. Like it or not, its a business, and to keep all those revenue streams going in the Garden, from ticket sales, concessions, jerseys, etc--no fan is going to pony up the current ticket prices for a sub 500 team, even if it has Rondo and Jeff Green on it. Certainly no one is out there scooping up DJ White and Shavlik Randolph jerseys, not even those guys' parents!
The ownership group is committed to winning, but they are not "all in". They are business men that have to look at the bottom line, the future of the franchise and what direction their product is trending. I guess if we have few losing seasons after this, and there is no clear action plan in place for the development of the team, then yeah, maybe Danny's position would be in jeopardy. But not now, not next year or even the year after. They have been patient with him thus far, it won a championship, got us back to championship and were a few baskets away from going to another--he got Doc to re-sign. What would he get fired for? Not sealing the deal on the Clippers trade? Not getting Chris Paul? Trading Perk away a few years ago? Could you imagine how much more awful our offense would be if we still had Perk but no Green?
I say Danny has done a solid job, and look forward to him running the show for years to come.
